HSK 7-9 Vocabulary
1,200 characters · 5,126 words · Advanced (top band)
The top band of HSK 3.0 and by far the largest block of vocabulary — specialised, formal and literary registers.
The stage name is our plain-language description of difficulty, not an official HSK band title.
The HSK 3.0 standard took effect on July 1, 2026, replacing the six-level HSK; the first sitting of the new exam is scheduled for December 13, 2026. Word lists on this site follow the new standard.
Every entry links to its own page with pinyin, tones, stroke order and English meaning. Need something specific? Search the full HSK 3.0 list.
