This book covers Chinese Alphabets derived after analysing thousands of simplified Chinese characters.
WHAT IS A CHINESE ALPHABET?
A Chinese Alphabet is a simple PART created by combining 2 to 6 strokes. Some Chinese Alphabets are also Chinese characters. All the Chinese Alphabets can be used to form Chinese characters.
MORE EFFICIENT AND EFFECTIVE WAY TO LEARN
If thousands of Chinese characters are learnt by combining single strokes, you will need to put in more effort to remember and distinguish them.
This new way of learning is by combining common parts (alphabets and strokes) into characters, something like forming English words (but not exactly the same).
WHAT-YOU-SEE-IS-WHAT-YOU-NAME (WYSIWYN)
All the Chinese Alphabets are classified into
32 groups
. Each group is named according to the observable common features the Chinese Alphabets share. For example, in the PARALLELS group, all the alphabets have (almost) parallels strokes.
