Chinese characters are one of the most fascinating aspects of the
language and occupy a prominent place in Chinese culture. Good
handwriting is also very important in learning Chinese: the strokes
that make up the characters must be written in a certain rigidly
specified order, and they must also be written in a special way.
This book is the only introductory manual for writing Chinese
characters prepared specifically for an English-speaking audience.
The author guides the reader through the fundamentals of writing
and introduces the different types of script used in China today,
their evolution, their place in Chinese tradition, and the relation
among them. The book provides basic instruction in writing with a
modern fountain pen rather than a brush. Only commonly used
characters-both simplified and full forms-appear as examples and
exercises. Also included is an explanation of how to look up
characters in a Chinese dictionary. This attractive and charming
book, full of anecdotes and calligraphic aphorisms, is both a
useful classroom tool and an enjoyable reading experience for
anyone with an interest in the language and culture of China.
