A Compendium of Chinese Characters

字解 字典

The earliest Chinese characters were pictograms, and contemporary characters remain within the logographic framework. Thus, the key to mastering the Chinese language lies in the recognition of Chinese characters, just as phonics is the key to learning languages that employ an alphabetic writing system.

Zi Jie will aid in making the teaching and learning of the Chinese language more engaging and interesting. It will also go some way in dispelling the commonly held view that Chinese characters are difficult to read, write and memorize.

The 5000-odd characters collected in this dictionary are split into 39 categories, with 4 related characters grouped on each page to form discrete units.Furthermore, the conventional phonetic (pin yin), character radical (bu shou), and stroke number (bi hua) indexes are included for the user’s convenience.

Pictograms based on rigorous linguistic research are designed for all the characters. Bridging form and meaning, the pictograms illuminate the characters' connotations and aid in understanding and learning them. The pictograms presented here form the most extensive collection among the dictionaries published to date.
