Analysis of the Chinese Characters for Better Understanding
When we analyze something we better understand and quickly memorize it. The same is with the learning Chinese characters.
When we see and understand what radicals and components the character consists of,
our mind does not resist to absorbing this information. We easily learn what we understand.
If we do not understand the structure of a character, then we need to spend hours and days writing and writing this character.
Let us have a look at the decomposition the Chinese character 我 wǒ ‘I’ :
丿 piě slash,
找 zhǎo look for,
扌 shǒu hand,
一 yī one,
亅 jué hook,
戈 gē spear,
弋 yì shoot,
一 yī one,
丿 piě slash,
丶 zhǔ dot,
我 wǒ ‘I’ : 丿找扌一亅戈弋一丿丶
Now the character我 wǒ ‘I’ looks more familiar to us, doesn’t it?
