*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
An Illustrated Account of Common Chinese Characters gives a detailed description of the origin and evolution of 651 commonly used Chinese characters, especially the original meaning and development of these characters, and gives the evolutionary process of the glyphs from oracle bone inscriptions to modern Chinese characters. Each Chinese character is provided with a diagram showing the original meaning of the character, which is convenient for readers to understand the evolution and current meaning of the Chinese character.
This book is for popular reading, but the explanation of the source of characters emphasizes the theories of philology, which not only has a certain value of philological research, but also facilitates general readers to scientifically understand the origin and evolution of Chinese characters. It is an essential guide for anyone interested in the history and meaning behind these iconic characters.
