About the Book

The Chinese script, with its many complex strokes, can often prove to be a formidable challenge. Tan Huay Peng’s Fun with Chinese Characters series helps to demystify the Chinese language by deconstructing Chinese characters and showing how they evolved from ancient pictographs and ideographs to their modern form. With beautifully rendered illustrations, concise explanations and a stroke-by-stroke breakdown of how to write the characters, this set will appeal to both casual and serious students of the Chinese language.
