    Lesson 1 EWU. [sig 1=y hk 1 }———8#0ls&U (Lectures on Kanji) APS CELBF -1- (Kanji made from pictures - 1 -) The ancient Chinese drew pictures of various things around them. These pictures have gradually been simplified and have taken on a square shape to make them easier to write. This is how the present Kanji characters were made. Each Kanji, therefore, carries a specific meaning. Look at the following picture. Se, /\> AA ANNA Ml Guess the meanings of the Kanji characters below. 1. 2. Jil) 3. 4.4% 5. 6. A 7K 8. 9. HH 10.

When a single Kanji is used alone as a word, we usually read it by its ‘KUN YOMI’ (Japanese reading) which gives its meaning. When Kanji are used together with other Kanji to make a word, we often read them by their ‘ON YOMI’ (Chinese reading). Generally speaking, however, the way of reading Kanji should be decided according to each individual word.
