English. 397 pages. By Yin Binyong and John S. Rohsenow. Introduction: Chinese characters, with their unfamiliar rectangular outlines and complex structures, often appear to foreign learners to be an insuperable stumbling block. In fact, however, as long as the basic rules are grasped and right methods employed, it is not too hard to get started and it is also quite possible to gain a firm mastery of the written language. This book introduces in a lively and accessibly way the origins, evolution, and composition of Chinese characters, their shapes, total numbers, pronunciation, meanings, and correct formations, as well as their dictionary ordering and consultation. The book will serve as a key to the fascinating realm of Chinese characters.

Modern Chinese Characters

<p>Chinese language is a language with a clear pronunciation and largely unvariable short and simple word forms. The tonal qualities of the language render its information capacity larger than other non-tonal languages. Written Chinese follows certain rules which shape the characters. A dozen simple strokes make up more than 200 "root" characters, of which no more than 100 are commonly used and alone will enable the student to recognize 40 percent of the characters in current publications.

Learning Chinese Through Group-Character Analyses - Book 2

Chinese characters are not simply letters or symbols; they are picture-words. This fascinating book chronicles the history of Chinese writing to reveal how today's characters have developed over the centuries from complex paintings and drawings to the codified systems currently in use. For instance, the character for chariot does not resemble a chariot at all, but you can see how over the years elaborate pictures of various chariots and vehicles merged into today's character. Richly illustrated
