This book was developed particularly for teaching Chinese characters to foreign students. Part one of this book systematically introduces background knowledge of every aspect of Chinese characters; such as the creation of Chinese characters, the evolution of the physical shape of Chinese characters, the progression of the amount of Chinese characters in use from ancient to modern times, and commonly used dictionaries. Part two of this book addresses in detail the variety of issues that may be encountered in the teaching of Chinese characters, such as issues concerning complex and simplified characters, printed character forms, writing typographical mistakes, Chinese homonyms and difficulties with explaining Chinese characters. This book is not only suited for the teaching of Chinese characters to foreign students; it can also serve as a useful reference for the Chinese learner.
