Today, Mandarin Chinese is spoken throughout the country in China, a Western tourist in China will have no trouble communicating with the Chinese in Mandarin Chinese. Traditionally, each Chinese character stands for a word, there are a total of over twenty thousand Chinese characters but over half of them are not in common use. The Chinese government has designed a system of alphabetized phonetic symbols by which Chinese characters may be pronounced accurately, the symbols may be compared to the International Phonetic Symbols used to pronounce English words.

Here is a comprehensive dictionary in which a complete system of alphabetized phonetic symbols is used for 20,947 characters to facilitate the learning of Mandarin Chinese. This dictionary should prove very convenient and efficient, and, above all, it should make Mandarin Chinese incredibly easier to learn.

When you use a Chinese dictionary or when you are reading a Chinese book, you will find this dictionary very handy to assist you in identifying the phonetic symbols for the characters. This pronouncing dictionary is designed as a useful tool in facilitating the learning of Chinese characters.

Book excerpt: By arranging frequently used characters under the phonetic element they have in common, rather than only under their radical, the Dictionary encourages the student to link characters according to their phonetic. The system of cross-referencing then allows the student to find easily all the characters in the dictionary which have the same phonetic element, thus helping to fix in the memory the link between a character and its sound and meaning. This innovative resource will be an excellent study-aid for students with a basic grasp of Chinese, whether they are studying with a teacher or learning on their own.

Book excerpt: ◎This is the Part-One (Radical Index - Stroke No. 1-2) of Twelve printouts from the on-line dictionary that is currently under developing. ◎This unprecedented, intelligent, convenient and useful Tool provides “Pin Yin” (spelled in English) of Traditional Chinese characters. ◎Along with Stroke-by-Stroke writings for each character’s Radical and additional strokes, it is possible to learn Chinese ubiquitously. The stroke-sequences for writing radical-characters are also included in a separate nineteen-page section with the order of radical stroke number and sequence. All the multiple ways of “Pin Yin” will also appear under multiple English letters. However, an unique sort key for the Last Name found in 百家姓 (the Hundred Family Surnames) is highlighted and used for grouping the same Last Name in Traditional Character with different Last Name in English. For example, 鄭 can be found as Cheng, Jeng and Zheng in all 3 places with Cheng marked as sort-key. Therefore, all 鄭s will be grouped under Cheng when creating a roster.

Download or read book Simplified Chinese Character Dictionary written by Adrian Van Amstel and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-08-19 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you often have difficulty finding a particular character in a standard Chinese dictionary? Do you often fail to remember characters, though you have seen and looked them up several times? Don't you think one of the reasons could be that characters that look similar to others are not grouped together? And don't you think that the etymological background of characters (their historical development) could and should be explained better in order to understand the reason for all those dots and strokes? If your answer to these questions is 'yes', then help could be on its way within seconds. The Simplified Chinese Character Dictionary and its 'parent', the Chinese Character Dictionary, both contain several new features that make looking up, learning and remembering Chinese characters more effective and more fun:* characters are arranged by the phonetic part that in most characters is relatively easy to distinguish; by grouping characters that have the same phonetic into series, characters that look almost similar can be compared and studied together;* any character can be found by stripping it first of its radicals, and then splitting the remaining phonetic into components. Phonetic and character can then be found under one of these components;* more than 5,700 different character shapes can be found using the same 3-step method. Examples are given of their usage in daily or literary Chinese, and many pinyin transliterations are given;* counting strokes is not necessary; most characters can be found within seconds;* almost all phonetics are supplied with an etymological explanation, which are helpful for better understanding of the historical background of phonetics and characters. Moreover, they are very effective in helping with remembering characters and distinguishing them from others that look similar;* a 30-page introduction is included, in which the method used for looking up characters is explained step by step, and illustrated with many examples. It also explains how to distinguish radicals, and explains the different kinds of radicals. Moreover, the introduction contains a brief overview of the historical development of Chinese characters in general.The Simplified Chinese Character Dictionary is based on the Chinese Character Dictionary (CCD). It differs from the latter in that it only contains simplified character entries. If a character has a different traditional version, then that is only given in brackets behind its simplified counterpart. In contrast, the CCD contains both simplified and traditional character entries, which can be searched for independently. Another difference is that the example words and phrases in the Simplified CCD are entirely in simplified Chinese, while in the CCD these are primarily in traditional Chinese.The Simplified Chinese Character Dictionary is primarily for students of Chinese in the beginning years of their study, who want to focus on learning simplified characters as quickly as possible. In contrast, the CCD can be used by people who use traditional and/or simplified script.
