When you write in Chinese do the words going down?

That's a great question! It's actually a bit more complicated than just "going down".

Here's the breakdown:

* Traditional Chinese is written vertically, with columns going from right to left. Within each column, the characters are written from top to bottom.

* Simplified Chinese is mostly written horizontally, with lines going from left to right. However, some situations, such as titles or poems, may still use vertical writing.

So, the direction of writing in Chinese depends on which script you're using (traditional or simplified) and the context.
