The purpose of this concise treatment was never to give a full account of China's great change - crucial for herself and - since she is a fifth of manking - for the world. The aim was to speak to western-educated people (not just those of western origin but many on all continents schooled under colonial influence) - to help them to "shift gears" from what they had been taught as history to things they had not been taught or led to dismiss as marginal.

Anyone learning Chinese will have to learn the characters first. The Chinese script is an ideographic writing system in which the form is related to the meaning directly. The characters in this book mostly have a high frequency of use. In terms of composition type, most of the characters are pictographs, indicatives and ideographs. A few phonetic compounds included are developments of earlier pictographs or ideographs. The emphasis of the approximate 670 words is on the revelation of the relation between the original meaning and the shape of the character, the extended and shifted meanings are mentioned in passing. There are common expressions at the end of some entries to deepen readers' understanding of the character concerned.
