Pinyin (that helps in pronouncing the sounds) is a way to transcribe Chinese characters so people can pronounce | them. The writing of pinyin is sometimes similar to the English alphabet. Pinyin isa romanised system for pronouncing Chinese characters. In Chinese, each character represents a syllable, _ which can be spelled and pronounced using the pinyin system. ‘There are three basic elements in pinyin: Initials, Finals and Tones. Most Chinese syllables can be spelled with one initial followed by one final, with a tone mark to indicate the tone. ~~ Initial Final Tone Pinyin U en / rén [1 ieee Gr: Most Chinese syllables begin with an initial.

The four tones The third element in pinyin is tone. There are four tones in pinyin, all written above one of the vowels ina final: The first tone is a flat or high level tone that is represented by @ The second tone is a rising tone represented by @ The third tone is a falling-rising tone represented by @ ‘The fourth tone is a high-falling tone represented by @ On the right is a pinyin tone chart that shows the relative changes in pitch for the four tones: B. Placement of tone marks ‘The tone mark is placed on the vowel in the final. Here is an example of how the four tones are marked: ba bd ba ba ‘sttone 2ndtone rd tone 4th tone - YO oO fF When the tone mark is placed on the vowel “i,” remove the dot above. Forexample: ji, jf, jl, jl. ‘When there are two or more vowels in the final, the tone mark is placed on the main vowel, i.e., ‘the vowel that requires the mouth to be open the widest when pronouncing. Forexample: nti, gdu, yu, lit, shut. Here are some useful guidelines for the placement of tone marks. 1. If there is an “a,” mark on it. 3. If there is no “o” or “e," mark on “i,” “u" or Example: mao, mdo, mao, mao “u” IF" and “u” appear at the same time, : the tone mark goes on the second vowel. 2. If there is no “a,” but “o” or “e" is present, ‘mark on either of these two letters. “o” and “e” will not appear at the same time. sui, suf, sui, sui Examples: lu, 16u, lu, lou xid, xié, xid, Xie Examples: nid, nid, nit, niu WITH CHINESE + mk — ISSN 9789814591003 C.

Tone changes In Chinese, the tone of a word sometimes changes, depending on the tone of the word that precedes or follows it. There are three main circumstances that require tone changes. 1.

For thousands | years, they have made remarkable contributions to the Chinese language and culture. They have also significant influenced other East Asian languages such as Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese. The number of Chinese characters was about 47,035 during the 18th and 19th centuries, but less than a quart of these characters are now in common use. Studies have shown that full literacy in the Chinese language requir ‘a knowledge of only three to four thousand characters. The evolution of Chinese characters. & Chinese characters originated at the end of the Shang Dynasty (c. 1600 BCE - 1046 BCE), and were initially derived from oracle bone inscriptions. Inseripton ona tortoise shel Inscription en an ox bone Later they were carved on bronze objects (c. 1400 BCE - 221 BCE), standardised as seal scripts (c. 221 BCE - 25 CE), and became regular soripts (25 CE present). Below are two characters 7k (water) and X (fire) that illustrate the evolution of the Chinese characters. ae as Ses ko wed o he k PWITHENINESE + @K ISBN 9780814891008 Formation of chi Chinese characters can be divided into six categories, each representing a method of formation. ‘Among them, pictograms, ideogrammic compounds and phono-semantic compounds are the three common categories that most characters fall into. A. Pictograms (S725, xiangxingzi) About 4% of Chinese characters are derived directly from individual pictograms. They depict the shapes of objects perceived in nature and in daily life. Over the years, these characters have been standardised, simplified and stylised to make writing easier, and their derivation is therefore not always obvious. Compare the following pictograms with today’s forms to see the link, gui yo > , => @ tortoive “an ma mén > 44 > mM owe ate B. Ideogrammic Compounds (@#@, huiyizi) About 13% of characters fall into this category. These characters symbolically combine pictograms or ideograms to create a new character that represents the meaning of its components. For instance, doubling the pictogram 2% (mu, tree) produces # (lin, grove), while tripling it produces a (sén, forest). i x & ‘Similarly, 84 (ming, bright) is formed by combining i (ri, sun) and Al (yué, moon), the two natural O+)=©€ 1SBN 9759814591003 INTRODUCTION 2 CHINESE CHARACTERS + Other common examples include the characters Ok (xii, rest), composed of the pictograms A (rén, person) and 2& (mi, tree), and also #¥ (héo, good), composed of the pictograms x (nf), daughter) and F( zi, son). Phono-semantic Compounds (#8, xingshéngzi) he tid 7 . All these characters above have on the left a radical of three short strokes, which is a simplified pictograph for a river, indicating that the character has a semantic connection with water. The right-hand side in each case is a phoneti \dicator. Due to the extremely productive use of this technique to extend the Chinese vocabulary, approximately 80% of characters fall into this category. [3] Strokes of Chinese characters. Isen 9729814591003, «& Chinese characters are formed by various kinds of strokes. Modern Chinese characters have six eae horzontal stoke vertical stroke letaling stroke rightfaling stroke Upward stroke ik ‘These characters are made up of two parts: one is a limited set of pictographs, often graphically simplified, which suggests the general meaning of the character, and the other is an existing character pronounced approximately as the new target word, top right to bottom let top left to bottom right bottom lft 0 top right Apart from the six basic strokes, there are three dependent strokes: the bend (#, wan), the turn (#f, zhé), and the hook (#4, g6u). The dependent strokes cannot be used independently; they have to be attached to at least one other kind of stroke to form a complex stroke. The six basic strokes and the three dependent strokes together form all of the twenty-seven complex strokes used in modern Chinese characters, ‘The character 3k (yéng, forever) below is a good example which combines most of the basic and dependent strokes. ~ iB den J SELIAL cum Ry ? a TE na 44) cow NSE GB Basic stroke order rules @ Sitokes at the top should be writen before = = = those at the bottom. te @ Sitokes to the left should be written before those to the right.

Enclosing strokes should be written first, @ then the strokes in the enclosed, followed, by the sealing horizontal stroke. ISBN 978061459:003 INTRODUCTION 2 CHINESE CHARACTERS Almost all Chinese characters contain a particular component called a “radical” or “side” (183, pignpang). Some of these components were once characters themselves, for example, ul (mountain), B (sun), A (moon) and % (tree). The radical is usually the semantic root of the character, and in some cases it may also serve as a phonetic indicator. Radicals are placed either on the left, right, top, bottom or outside of a character. By understanding the radicals, it will be much easier to learn Chinese characters. ‘There are more than 200 radicals. Below is a short list of some common ones. sandiinshul Psa a wl ey Bak Geng.) 8) ob) donrénP 69 erson Me te i Orie inition ae GID Ral aa tenon at *® & © i ‘ae (enn to, Fs) tn. cary) shim tt Ke Ne Ole re cad RN [is eae, cous 009 oa no Cesena) R z =z 28% (home) Ghee) eh roy en om € % ¥ Bet oa {eto, grass) (hud, flower) (yd, sprout) iolioebante kee ueue Reutitesekeur vaca In 1956 and 1964, the People's Republic of China, in an effort to make Chinese language learning easier and boost literacy rates, released a list of simplified Chinese characters. The simplification reduced the number of strokes of a set of Chinese characters in the regular script. This was the most intensive effort undertaken to simplify Chinese characters in many years. Since then, simplified Chinese characters have been officially adopted for use in mainland China, while Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan remained unaffected by the reform. Singapore underwent three rounds of character simplification, eventually arriving at the same set of simplified characters as mainland China after the final round in 1976. (in this book, the Chinese text is printed in simplified characters with the corresponding traditional characters listed in New Words and at the end of each unit in the section of "I have learnt.)

Chinese calligraphy Calligraphy is not only a practical technique for writing Chinese characters, but also a unique oriental art of expression. In the past two thousand years, Chinese people have used ink brush to write on paper. The ink brush, ink, rice paper, and inkstone were essential implements of Chinese calligraphy, and they were known together as the Four Treasures of Study. ‘According to an old Chinese saying, "The way characters are written is a portrait of the person who writes them." Expressing the abstract beauty of lines and rhythms, calligraphy can be a reflection of a person's emotions, character and intellectual tastes. In ancient times, calligraphy was one of the Four Arts that scholars had to master. Below is the most famous piece of Chinese calligraphy, Preface to the Poems Composed at the Orchid Pavilion. It was written by Wang Xizhi (303 - 361 CE), the Sage of Calligraphy. The preface consisted of 324 Chinese characters in 28 lines. The character 2 (zhi) appears 17 times, but amazingly, none of them looks the same. ad REE EMBS AEE DS CHT BARD ih eet hatee rag @ztarig?z™ a maeeitargak ita tedeGeats be MA tA ee ee eat See Ri Ste ae ea ae EUR EE lta ee rere roe AMEE RS ae hse eee het ey ) Pakiidene oh tees Gad ea Me eee OTe RS Ma BN e Rie gi IBN 9789814581008 INTRODUCTION 2 CHINESE CHARACTERS = 2 How to look up characters in a Chinese dictionan | ‘There are two ways to look up words in a Chinese dictionary.
