Chinese characters are made up of strokes. Learning to write them involves not only learning where all the strokes go, but also the order in which they are supposed to be written and the direction of each individual stroke (left to right, up to down, etc.).
The simplest character is yī (one), a single stroke written from left to right.
The most complex character, biáng (picture above), is made up of 57 strokes.
