Wang Hongyuan : The Origins of Chinese Characters
- description
- additional information
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 pronunciation. 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 civilization. This profusely illustrated book shows a panorama of these fascinating characters.
