Mizige Paper, ready to print
Mizige (米字格) adds diagonal guides to the classic practice grid – the cross plus two diagonals form the character 米. It is the go-to grid for characters with slanting strokes, like 人 and 大.
Diagonal guides for slanting strokes
A mizige grid draws a cross and two diagonal lines inside every square, dividing it into eight triangles. The diagonals give you reference lines for left-falling and right-falling strokes (撇 and 捺), so characters like 人, 大 and 天 sit naturally on the page.
- Diagonal awareness – the 撇 and 捺 strokes follow the corner lines, keeping angles consistent.
- Structure – clear quarters and triangles make it easy to judge spacing in complex characters.
- Next step – many learners move from tianzige to mizige once their basic stroke placement is solid.
Cross plus diagonals – the 米 shape in the middle.
