La Methodology “KIDS SHOU BO IN CHINESE” by Minhua Lin象形字Xiang Xing Zi~ the pictograghic system of Chinese characters
Chinese characters in general may be referred to as
ideograms, due to the fact that ideas are represented directly by characters,
but they can be divided into different types, based on how they are formed or
derived. Originally they consisted of pictograms (Xiàngxíng 象形), from
which derived “associative compounds” (huìyì會意), that
consisted of two or more pictographs in order to form the character with the
logical meaning. However, the majority originated as picto-phonic (形聲xíngshēng) which
comprise 80 % of existing Chinese
characters. Each Chinese character is composed of 2 or more picto-phonetic
components that help to understand how to write and pronounce.
The basic components are around 200, they are known as
radicals and are fundamental in the Chinese language. Therefore, once you learn
these radicals, you can figure out how it was composed and the sound of a character.
Make studying more effective and enjoyable!
In the project
“Kids Shou Bo in Chinese”, these radicals are divided into 6 sections, each
section has 36 radicals accompanied by two o more derivation, and each character is designed to reflect its etymology and
meaning published on the site https://www.kidshoubo.it Kids will learn 108 characters in each section / year
totally. This project is completed in six years, the children will learn 650
Chinese characters, a good level for the Chinese language.
