Synopsis

This book is for those who enjoy the imaginative and humourous interpretations of Chinese characters seen through the discerning eye of a cartoonist. It is the sequel to Volume One which has met with gratifying success. As in Volume One, the 153 cartoons first appeared as a regular feature in The Straits Times Bilingual Page. They introduce systematically the radical elements and their compounds, together with related or associated characters.

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Chinese script, with its many complex strokes, can often prove to be a formidable challenge. Tan Huay Peng s Fun with Chinese Characters series helps to demystify the Chinese language by deconstructing Chinese characters and showing how they evolved from ancient pictographs and ideographs to their modern form. With beautifully rendered illustrations, concise explanations and a stroke-by-stroke breakdown of how to write the characters, this set will appeal to both casual and serious students of the Chinese language.
