How to study 程 in context

  1. Say chéng, then recall the core meaning: process, rules.
  2. Write all 12 strokes while keeping the left-right balanced.
  3. Use it in 过程 (guò chéng), meaning “course of events”.
  4. Read the complete sentence aloud once, then cover the translation and explain how 程 works in that context.

Definitions and traditional forms are compiled from Make Me a Hanzi, HSK curriculum data, and CC-CEDICT. Sourced example sentences link to Tatoeba; editorial examples are labeled separately. Review data sources and licenses.
