Wonderful.
Chineese is written left to right?
We inherently like this because it's natural to think and communicate in images, instead of words. Sounds like poetry
Yes, left to right, just like in English.
However, @Oxbitcoiner is right too. Sometimes, the author chooses to write from top to bottom. This is especially so when you watch Chinese martial arts shows, in which the sect founders document their skills on books:

I think it's from right to left and from top to bottom. Maybe there are a few exceptions.

Venice.ai:
No, Chinese is not typically written from left to right. Chinese characters are written in a variety of directions, depending on the shape of the character and the context. The most common directions are from top to bottom, then from left to right, but some characters may be written vertically from top to bottom, or in a zigzag pattern. This is because Chinese characters are logographic, meaning each character represents a word or idea rather than a sound, and their shapes and orientations have historical and artistic significance.
Great attempt!
