Definition
工整 describes something that is neat, tidy, and precisely arranged, especially in handwriting, stitching, or work. It focuses on visual order and evenness, unlike 精细 (fine, meticulous detail) or 有条不紊 (systematic, methodical organization). Use 工整 when the key quality is clean, straight lines or careful arrangement.
