DESCRIPTION:

This book is intended as a guide to the origins and histories of Chinese characters. Although it could be used as a Chinese etymological dictionary, the book is an attempt to find a new way to teach the practical ideography of Chinese to those whose native scripts are alphabet-based.

Whether borrowed or created, a character generally begins life in Chinese with one meaning and its ancient pronounciation. Yet no living language is static, and in time words develop a new pronunciation or meaning, and lose old ones.

A look at the origins of the characters that make up the Chinese writing system involves also a look at the origins of Chinese civilisation. This profusely illustrated book shows a panorama of these fascinating characters
