About this product
Product Information
This dictionary is specially designed to help students understand, appreciate and remember Chinese characters. It has the following features: Each character entry includes a brief etymology explaining the character's composition according to traditional Chinese research. Genealogical charts highlight the connections between characters, showing the creation of more than 4,000 characters from less than 200 simple pictographs and ideographs. Based on computerized referencing of the classic dictionary written nearly 2,000 years ago, these charts generalize and systematize the radical system by allowing a character to be found by any component, whether phonetic or semantic. For continuity, a traditional radical index is also included. Mandarin standards in China and Taiwan are distinguished. Simplified forms for each character are given. Character entries list all words which use the character in any position, allowing a word to be found even if the first character is unknown. English definitions are referenced in an English-Chinese index. A word pronunciation index allows students to directly search for an overheard word without having to guess the word's initial character. A stroke count index and a traditional radical index are included.Product Identifiers

Chinese Characters: a genealology
Being used to working with the radicals to find a character and its meaning, I found the genealogical approach deeper and, at least at first, more confusing technique. However, the book is a very useful tool with an included English/Chinese dictionary as well as a radical index. The one thing that is still a mystery is defining proper word/character order for good communication. I would recommend this book to the serious student.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Extremely Compact & Informative
This is a wonderful resource for a first time learner of Mandarin Chinese. It has more than 4000 characters sorted by only 182 radicals. This book includes the simplified versions of characters, but I feel is better for focusing on the Traditional. The print is very small, so even though I have good eyesight I felt the need to get reading glasses for the hours on end I spend at a time diving into this book. Overall a fantastic buy, but do be aware. It's about the same font size as a nutrition label. But in Chinese.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
