Book excerpt: Excerpt from Introduction to the Study of the Chinese Characters Tun Chinese characters are records of a distant past. In stead of being hidden under the rubbish heaps of ruined palaces, like the Cuneiform Inscriptions, they have, millen nium after millennium, been passing in open day through the hands of scribes. Subject to the caprices of each genera tion of writers, they now present themselves to us in a vast variety of successive forms. Through these forms, if the inquisitive eye of science trace correctly the process of change, we may acquire a knowledge of the origin of Chinese writing, and the method pursued by the inventors.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sen Ji Mon: One Thousand Chinese Characters of Constant Occurrence in Japanese Literature; A New and Practical Method for Students of Japanese There is a tendency perhaps, on the part of some students of Japanese, to underrate the importance of the study of Chinese characters. The literature of Japan abounds with these imported ideographs, and it need hardly be asserted that, without a knowledge of those in common use, the student is unable to read the ordinary works which are issued from the native press, unless it be with the assistance of his teacher. The acquisition, however, of a number of these common characters, sufficient for practical purposes, is by no means an easy task; and yet by taking advantage of the labours of students in China, much may be done to facilitate the study, or at least to render it less formidable than it has generally been supposed to be.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Analysis of Chinese Characters The author of the great Chinese English dictionary Mr. Giles, has not hesitated to express most trenchantly his contempt of etymology as it has been applied to Chinese Characters. He says that "Much of the etymology of the Shuo Wen is childish in the extreme", and that the phonetic principle of combination is the only one of which we can pretend to know anything. Notwithstanding the ridicule heaped upon it, scholars, like Chalmers, Chalfant, Wieger and others have continued to pursue the fascinating study of the origin of these symbols and have given us most interesting results. These results are so convincing that in the teaching of character writing we have unhesitatingly adopted the principle that the etymology of the earliest Chinese writers on the subject, childish though it may often be and fanciful, is yet superior to the numerous mnemonics that have been invented by foreign students to assist in the difficult task of memorizing the forms of a few thousand characters. The student of these pages may often consider the etymology suggested fanciful and the logic of the combinations far fetched but the following consideration should be borne in mind. They are the products of Chinese fancy and imagination and to some extent show the workings of the Chinese mind. Therefore they interest us who are students of Chinese thought. Moreover they often may only seem to be fanciful because we are ignorant of the ancient customs out of which they arise, or of the forms of the utensils of which they are pictures, or of the variations of pronunciation in the different dialects. If any oue of us were entrusted with the task of inventing written symbols for both concrete objects and abstract ideas it is doubtful if we would produce anything much less fanciful and we certainly could produce nothing of such rich historic interest, as certainly invests the 3000 most primitive characters. Writing Chinese characters is a task of memory. Modern pedagogy. insists on the value of logical or even fanciful links between ideas for fixing them in mind.

This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Grammar for Component Combination in Chinese Characters A linguistic analysis of one aspect of the structure of Chinese characters is presented. The analysis is an extension into two dimensions of a general approach to one-dimensional language study Results of the analysis are in the form of a three level generative grammar. The first level formalizes restrictions governing the general complexity of well formed Chinese characters; the second level formalizes co-occurrence constraints among character components and the particular spatial arrangement of these com ponents in classes of characters; the third level constitutes a procedure for selecting actual components from a lexicon. Finally an evaluation of the grammar is presented, in terms of criteria used in evaluating natural language grammars.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Account of the Structure of Chinese Characters Under 300 Primary Forms: After the Shwoh-Wan, 100, A. D., And the Phonetic Shwoh-Wan, 1833 To the majority of students of Chinese, whether they be natives or foreigners, eight or nine tenths of the characters in the language are nothing more than conventional signs, having no resemblance to the things, or natural association with the ideas, which they represent. The main object of this work is to point out the original resemblances of the characters to things, and explain the uses of their several parts.

This book was released on 2018-03-07 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Selected Lists of Chinese Characters, Arranged According of the Frequency of Their Recurrence These lists ought to be of value in helping students. To judge as to the relative importance of position. It is not a very difficult matter to master a few hundred characters in writing and speech, and if they are properly selected one wakens to the pleasing sensation that they are in possession of a working vocabulary, and with this foundation additional study is without the usual sense of drudgery. The line between very common, common, and less common, can only be drawn approximately, as these orders of characters may be likened to different strata of clouds, one stratum rising above another, and yet the exact lines of separation undeterminable. As to the list in its to tality, while including a liberal vocabulary for a native scholar, no two men would agree as to the question of add ing or subtracting. As it stands it is the result of a con sensus of opinion'among several scholars, erring on the safe side of too many characters, with the reserved right of further revision.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Chinese as They Are: Their Moral, Social, and Literary Character; New Analysis of the Language; With Succinct Views of Their Principal Arts and Sciences A larger work was designed; but as so many books pre fer their claims to the leisure of reading men, the Author has done rightly, perhaps, in yielding to those who suggested that a small one would be more acceptable. The Author commends the chapter upon the Chinese Language to the special attention of the reader. It is not easy to be very interesting or very popular in treating a subject so far removed from the ordinary range of investiga tion; still he thinks that the man who has a taste for philological researches, will find principles stated in it that are worthy of his best consideration, and a mode of dealing with the Chinese language suggested, which will ultimately unravel all the absurdities adhering to that or any other tongue. In the chapters on Music and Philosophy some curious matters are given, which will scarcely fail to call up a train of ideas and reflections in those who delight to trace the records of science as it existed in its primeval simplicity.
