Adjust Tianzige/Mizhige for your practice
Switch between Tianzige (cross) and Mizhige (cross + diagonals), and tune bold lines and opacity.

How it's generated
Usage tips
Print at 100% (actual size). Turn on the 50 mm calibration box to verify the scale.
Tianzige uses only the center cross; Mizhige adds diagonals. Choose based on your practice goals.

Prepare character practice grids for handwriting
Use this generator to make Tianzige, Mizhige, and related character grids with cell sizes and guide lines that match the learner and writing tool.
How it works
Choose the grid style, paper size, margins, cell size, and guide-line strength. The preview shows how the practice cells will sit on the page before you export or print.
When to use
Use it for handwriting drills, stroke-order practice, vocabulary sheets, calligraphy warmups, and classroom handouts where consistent character boxes matter.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Picking cells that are too small for brush pens, pencils, or early learners.
- Using guide lines that are too dark and compete with handwriting.
- Printing with fit-to-page scaling when the cell size must stay exact.
- Forgetting margins when the sheet will be hole-punched or bound.
Interpretation and worked example
For beginner handwriting, start with a larger cell size and clear center guide lines. Print one test page at 100% scale, then adjust guide strength and margins before making a full worksheet set.

FAQ
Which should I use, Tianzige or Mizhige?
Tianzige is enough if you only need the center cross. Mizhige adds diagonals for angle practice.
How do I remove bold lines?
Set the major interval to 0 to remove bold lines.
What cell size should I use?
15 mm is standard, and 20 mm works well for beginners. Increase the cell size if writing feels tight.
What should I enter first?
Start with the minimum required inputs shown above the calculate button, then keep optional settings at their defaults for a first pass. After getting a baseline, change one parameter at a time so you can explain which assumption moved the output.
How precise are the results?
The calculator keeps internal precision and rounds only for display. Small differences can still appear if another tool uses different constants, period conventions, or rounding rules. Align assumptions before comparing final values.
