"As the heart of a people is reached through its mother


tongue, and all that is best worth knowing about a country
is to be found in Its dialect and literature, the Christian
Missionary and Scholar, as well as the Official, will master
the vernacular as his most precious instrument, and the
classical language that feeds it, as his most useful storehouse
of information and illustration, argument and authority."

PREFACE.

The object of the present work is, first, to comprise


within as small a compass as possible the most essen-
tial results of the best native and foreign scholars
of the Chinese written symbols, as apply to the study
of these characters in the literature of Japan second,
to so arrange and simplify these results as to make
their acquisition a pleasure, as well as to secure the
greatest possible facility in their application.
First. The introduction is intended to give the
student a general acquaintance with the construction
and use of those characters which will not only prove
of most remembering the specmc
service to liim in
sounds and meanings of characters, but which will
roost assist Lim in that which is still more important
to liim as a beginner the free and speedy use of the
Dictionary. To this end a knowledge of the Badicala
stands first in importance, and are here so arrangea
as to secure the greatest variety and interesi in their
study and mastery.
Next in importance is the select list of Primitives,
which are calculated to greatly assist the student
in remembering the sounds and meanings of the
most useful derivatives. Following these the student

will find grouped according to their frequency in


christain literature, such characters as will serve as
an excellent exercise for identifying the Radicals and
Primitives, and at the same time acquaint him with
the most useful derivatives in the language. Accom-
panying the Eadicals and Primitives are their ordinary
cursive and old forms, for the purpose of preparing
the student to convert at sight sucli characters into
their square or more modern form, and thus be
able to ascertain their meanings by means of this
dictionary.
Second. The dictionary consists of about eight
thousand select characters, arranged as much as
possible in the order of their frequency under their
radicals, as words in other dictionaries are arranged
under the letters of the alphabet. Where the groups

are large they are subdivided by corre-

sponding to the initial stroke of the primitive, thus ob-


viating the necessity of running over the whole group.
By this arrangement the characters are treated as
words, which obviates the cumbersome system of
counting the strokes of the primitive, usually employed
in native works. The first consideration of the
student in the use of characters is the ability to use
the dictionary quickly. The writer does not hesitate

to affirm that the thorough mastery of the order and


office of the Eadicals, with a little practice, by this

arrangement, will enable any one to refer to the dic-

tionary for any character he may wish, as easily and


quickly as he is accustomed to turn to words in a
dictionary of his own language.
The Japanese modification of the Chinese sounds

of the characters will be found romanized and in


Kana, the first being the Kan-on and the second the
Go-on pronunciation. It often occurs, however, that
both sounds are either Kan-on or Go-on while in other >

instances only one sound is given. The Japanese-


made characters, indicated by the half parenthesis,
are usually without sound. The most commonly
used Japanese meanings in

(
the Ko-ki-ji-ten (, g ) Kana, are taken from
and the Giyoku-hen
The student may therefore expect to find

meanings of characters whicn are not given here,


it being one of the principal objects of the writer to
avoid burdening the beginner with too many meanings,
as well as to afford him the oppoi'tuiiity of doing some-
thing for himself.
The analysis is intended to accustom the student
to analyze the characters, as well as to aid him in
remembering their meanings. Many of these com-
ponent parts constitute separate characters, while
others are seldom used alone. The English equivalents
are the most important Chinese meanings translated
from the Imperial Dictionary of China, principally by
the late Dr. Wells Williams, and Drs. Morrison,
Medhurst and others.
Examples of the various uses and combinations of
characters were omitted, on the ground that the
ordinary combinations are usually easily under-
stood, while the difficult ones are best acquired by
practice, and also to avoid increasing the size of
the book unnecessarily.

tracted and Synonymous characters "with their full

forms, the Kata-kana, Hira-hana, and Yamato-kana


most in use arranged over the Go-jiu-on, a List of
Characters whose Radicals are Obscure, and the Index,
will all be found convenient for reference.

The student will find that the preparation needed


for using the present work will at the same time
fit him for using native dictionaries as well, the
ultimate aim of every student, and the writer ven-
tures to hope, that this little work •will prove
sufficiently extensive as not to disappoint those wlio
may consult its pages. The student in China, by
adding the sounds of the characters peculiar to the
dialect he is learning, for which space is left, may
also be able to use this work to advantage.
The writer takes pleasure in acknowledging his ob-
ligations to all native and foreign students of Chinese
and Japanese whose works have been consulted during
the preparation of the present work, and particularly
to Mr. Tsuji Shidzuka ( it ),
whose deep interest,
steady perseverance, and valuable suggestions have
aided greatly in bringing the work to its present
form. No originality is claimed, except the originality
of the plan. In the languages of China and Japan, as
in languages generally, Ever thing new is old, and
everything old is new '
If the present little work will accomplish aught
in furnishing foreign students any assistance in
better understanding the difficult but beautiful
language of this interesting and intelligent people,
and thus better fulfill the mission that brought
them to the East, the writer will be repaid for his
labor : and if, on the other hand, it will furnish the

and labor in writing and arranging this little book
will not by the providence of God have been ill-

INTRODUCTION.
It is generally conceded that the people of Japan
had no written characters previous to the introduction
of the Chinese symbols of writing. This is believed
to have taken place during the latter half of the third
century of our era by way of Coi'ea. There may be
traces of Chinese writing in Japan before this, but
the probabilities are that the introduction proper
of these written symbols took place rather later,
than earlier than the above mentioned period.
Japanese historians have it that the Ron-go ( ),
Confucian Analects, the Sen-ji-mon ( ),
Thousand Character
) Classic,
Classic of Filial Piety, were
ana the Kd-kid
among
( the first

books which were brought over by the Chinese


scholars Ajiki and Wani, under the auspices of the
King of Kudara, one of the provinces of Corea.
The first effect of the introduction of Chinese -was
that the higher classes set to work to read and write
these characters, and soon began to employ them
in their own language. From that time to the
present day these symbols, in one form or other,
have been studied for the purpose of reading Chinese
literature, and to write and read the JaiDanese
language. .

In the sixth century, however, tlirougli the introduc-

tion of Buddhism into Japan, the study of Chinese


B
INTRODUCTION.

received a great impetus, and soon after became


general. To this general study of the Chinese
language may be attributed the many Chinese words,
idioms and phrases to be found in the literature of
Japan. So extensively have the Chinese written
symbols, in their full or contracted forms, been
employed to write the language of J apan in all
departments of literature and in all ranks of society,
that it is impossible to study the written and
spoken language with any degree of thoroughness
without a knowledge of these characters. They
have become part of the language, and in all the
schools of the Empire these characters are yet
studied simultaneously with the kanci, so that it

would De difficult to find a person in the Empire


capable of reading and writing who does not more or
less employ them or their sounds, both in writing
and speaking. The Japanese in adopting the Chinese
written symbols to write their language, did not
change its grammatical structure, however much
they received in addition in other respects.

PEONUNCIATION OR SOUND OF
CHAEACTEKS.
The Japanese modification of the Chinese sound of
a character is called by them its On () or Koi/e ) (
and the Japanese words whicli express the meaning
of a Chinese character, are called by them its Kun
() or Yomi () Again, characters which represent

kana (
the mere soimd of Chinese words are known as Ji-on

)
of Japanese
while those which represent the
words are known as Kim
INTKODUCTION. si

kana ( ). This ideographic and phonetic use


of characters are known among Japanese respectively
as Mana ( and Kana ig) characters.
The pi'onunciaticni or sound of characters is not
invariably the same. They may have one of three
dialectic pronunciations known as the Kan-on ), (
Go-on () and To -in (
). In some instances
these sounds are the same, or have a strong
resemblance, while at other times they are very
unlike. The Kan-on most widely used,
is the
although introduced into Japan by the literati long
after the Go-on, and was the pronunciation of Chinese
characters used by the most celebrated men of
China during the Han Dynasty. Next in importance
is the Go-on ()
pronunciation, which was in all
probability introduced into Japan from the kingdom
of Go by the Buddhists, and is still used by them in
their The Td-i7i
litanies. ()
resembles the
present Mandarin sounds, but because of its limited
use, is of little practical importance to the beginner
and is therefore dismissed without further elucidation.
When it becomes necessary to distingiiisli these
sounds they must be referred to worKs especially
prepared for this purpose, such as the In-Jdd ( ),
etc. It is not, however, pai'ticularly necessary to dis-
tinguish them except for philological purposes. These
sounds iu native dictionaries are generally placed
at the side of the cliaracter —the Kan-on on the
right and the Go-cm on the left when botli sounds
are given but this is by no means invariably the
case, for it often occurs that the sounds thus
indicated are both Kan-on or both Go-on j^ouuds.
xii INTRODUCTION.

These sounds in standard native dictionaries are


indicated by two well known characters, given im-
mediately below the characters. The consonant of the
sound of the first character, added to the vowel of the
sound of the second, gives the sound of the character
indicated. This system is called the Hansetsu
or Kayeshi (^C), and is easily understood in detail
)
with the aid of a teacher and the Go-jm-on. Again,
these sounds are changed by inflection, and have
particular meanings when thus changed. In the Shi
Sei, in the Appendix, the changes of sound and
meaning of a select list of characters will be seen.

NATURE OP CHAEACTEES.
Chinese characters answer properly to the written
words of other languages. No one character forms in
itself a proposition, nor contains the force of a nouu,
or a verb, of a substantive and its adjuncts, or of
an action and its object. However complicated a
character may be, embracing possibly six or seven
different characters all having different meanings,
still the compound will have its own meanings
partially or entirely independent of the meanings of
its component parts, and yet perhaps as capable of
uniting with other characters as the simplest charac-
ter in the language. Neither is there anything in the
heaviness or firmness of the strokes to alter the mean-
ing of the character, nor anything in the construction
of the character to indicate gender, number, case,
mood, tense, or person. These must be either inferred
from tlic connection or expressed by auxiliary
characters.
I INTKODUCTION. xiii

MEANING OF CHAEACTEES.
Chinese characters do not always represent one
idea, nor whatever position tliey occupy always
confined to that one. They in the beginning like
words in other languages probably bad but one or
two meanings, and in the course of time accumulated
a variety of meanings. This is seen in the fact
that most common characters have the greatest
tlie

variety of meanings and uses, while rare and technical


ones have but very few meanings. The meaning of
a character may be changed also by its position in a
sentence.
Occasionally two characters will be found synony-
mous and used for the sake of perspicuity, wliile at
other times they lose their original meaning and
express an idea entirely new. There are found also
very ludicrous and puzzling uses of characters. Before
the introduction kana writing, a
or invention of
select number of Chinese characters called Yamato
kana were used phonetically and ideographically,
which are yet found in tlie oldest books. A list of these
is given in the Appendix.

CHINESE CHAEACTEES.— HOW USED IN


JAPAN.

Modern Japanese writing is an intermixture of


Chinese characters with kata-kana and hira-kana.
The proportion of Chinese to kana, and vice
versa, varies greatly. Some books will have a great
many Chinese characters while others may have few.
xiv INTRODUCTION.

In the same book a word may at one time


be expressed with a Chinese character, while
ifl anotliev part of the book it may be written

writer. Words of Chinese origin are generally
written 111 Chinese, as well as niany of the roots of
important Japanese words. Again, these characters
are used to write Kam-hiin () or pure Chinese
writing, called Haku-hun () or Mu-tm ( ),
same style is accompanied
while at other times this

assist the Japanese student to construe the text

characters are used with many words, particles,

with their sound or meani7ig written at the side, called

their fulland contracted forms, respectively, with the
kata and hira-kana. Examples of the variety of ways
of writing characters is given further on.

* The hook indicates the transposition of two words following


each other.
The Chinese numerals ,
indicate the skipping over of two
or more characters.
The characters above middle and below indicate that
those parts which have already been marked are again to be
skipped over.
The cyclical signs , , etc., indicate a still further skipping
over.
The above signs may occur in composition to indicate a still

further skipping over of characters. The student, however, will do


well to make himself independent of these signs and discard them
from the outset.

VAEIOUS STYLES OF WEITING CHAKACTEES.


I. The Teii'Sho ( ).
This is considered the most ancient style of writ-
ing and stands next to the original hieroglyphics.
I lias, however, undergone many changes in the
lapse of ages. It contains many variants, fanci-
ful inventions and modifications. It is commonly
called by foreigners the seal character, because of

Its present and most common use. It may be


conveniently subdivided into
()
:

1. The Dai-ten or large seal characters,


used principally for seals and stamps.
2. The Sho-ten (>]>) or small seal characters,
principally ornamental inscriptions and
used for
prefaces to books as well as for seals. These are
again divided into the Haku-ji and Shu-ji ()
[-^ ) white and red letter seals.

II. The Rei-sho () or Happun ( ).


TMs is the official style, and is said to have
been introduced in the Tsin dynasty, near the
commencement of the Christian Era, as an elegant
style for engrossing documents. It is mucli used also
for scrolls, monumental inscriptions and book prefaces.
It reauires no special study to read it, since it differs

so slightly from the next, which is fast replacing it

for governmental purposes.

III. The Kai-sho ( oi Shin-sho ( ).


This is called the pattern style, and is said to have
been gradually by improvement in good
formed
writing. It is the usual form of Chinese characters.
xvi INTRODUCTION.

and no.one can lay claim to a literary name among


bis countrymen who is unable to write neatly and
correctly in this style. It has neither the sharp stiff

angles of the So -did () ) nor the wavy uncertain


flowing lines of the Gid-sho ( iind Sd-slio ( ).
This style may be subcliYicled into two classes,

namely :

1. The Su-cho

the art of printing


(and ) is
vliicli was introduced with
used extensively for writing
aud printing. It is the style upon wliicii most stress
is laid. Its strokes are almost all equally shaded,
slightly leaning, and very clear and distinct.
2 The Min-cho (
wliicli consists of light

and heavy lines, is used extensively in books of the


better class, and is very clear and pretty.

lY. The Gid-sho ( ).


This style is commonly known as the running
hand. It is the common hand of a neat writer, and
is frequently used in prefaces of books, inscriptions,
scrolls and tablets. It however does not admit of
perfect freedom. The brush may be carried from
stroke to stroke without being raised from the paper,
but no component strokes of a character are allowed
to be thrown out. This style is not so difficult as the
So-sho, and with a little practice is easily read.

V. The Sd'sho ( ).
This is called the grass or running hand, run wild
and free, so as to resemble entangled grass. It is

full of abbreviations, for the brush is made to run


from character to character without being lifted from
the paper, almost at the writer's fancy. Well edu-
INTRODUCTION. xvii

cated natives often find difficulty in reading it. Many


abbreviated forms are adopted, and from these many
strokes are wanting. It requires a particular study to
read it. A good knowledge of the contracted forms of
the Eadicals and Phonetics will be the best preparation
for the study of this style. In the meanwhile it will
uot be out of place to request all bills and corre-
spondence to be writ en in Kai-sho and So-cho style.

Shopmen are sometimes better acquainted with the


abridged forms of characters than with the fuller

forms and natm'ally prefer to wi'ite in this style.

There are also characters so written as to represent


the wheat head, the dragon liead, tadpole and bamboo
sprout, etc. Specimens of tbe above mentioned styles
of written characters and their varieties are given in
the following list with the name of the character and
their inventor.

As a matter of curiosity perhaps, rather than


utility, a few pages are given to the various classes of
writing into which the Chinese have divided their
characters, gathered from various sources, principally
from the late Dr. Wells Williams. They are called the

SIX WEITINGS ( ).

3. Kai-i () Ideographic.

This class includes those characters which combine


ideas and suggestions by uniting two or three charac-
ters to represent a single idea for instance, tlie com-
bination of the characters for sun and moon may
stand for brightness, while a tree, or a piece of wood
in a door -way may as aptly denote ohstructiGn again,
two may stand for a forest, while the characters
trees

for eye and man combined may easily denote seeing


men sitting on the ground may represent the act of
sitting three men may represent many two fires,
one above the other, suggests hurning or hrightness
a mouth in a door suggests the idea of asking heart
and death combined, denotes forgeifulness dog and
mouth, to hark tvoman and hroovi, the faithful wife
attending to her liouseliold duties and ^pencil and
hooky to write, etc.The student however will be
misled if he depends too much upon this system of
combining ideas. It will of course be a help to liim,
INTRODUCTION, xxiii

but it lacks that perfection which will enable one


unacquainted with a compound character to de-
termine its meaning by its component parts
precise
on the other hand it is in most cases certain that a
third idea, made by combining two others, usually
requires more or less explanation to fix its meaning
beyond a doubt. In the instances cited above, we
can easily see how the characters sun and moon
combined may with equal propriety denote a solar or
lunar eclipse, or the idea of time, as brightness, A
piece ofwood in a door-way may as properly repre-
sent a threshold as an obstruction, Du Ponceau
stoutly refutes the idea that Chinese characters ad-
dress themselves so plainly to the eye that their
meaning is easily deciucible from their shape and
construction. On the contrary, it miglit almost be
said that not a single character can be accurately
defined by a mere inspection of its parts. The mean-
ing now given of some of those which come under this
class are also so arbitrary and far-fetched as to show
conclusively that Chinese characters were not made
by rule or plummet, any more than words in other
languages.

5. Ka-sliahi ( ) Metaphoric Symbols.


This class includes metaplioric symbols and com-
binations ill which the meaning by a is deduced
fanciful accommodation, as for instance the symbol for
a written character is composed of a child under a
shelter, characters being considered the well-nurtured
offspring of hieroglyhics. Of the metaphoi'ic use of
words we have an example in the symbol for mind,
the original use of wliicli, to signify the material
heart, is now almost forgotten,

INTRODUCTION. XXV

being put out of sight. Here characters representing


the colloquial sound by wliich objects were named,
are combined with other characters expressing some
general property of the same object. Under this class
the great mass of characters are grouped. That part
of a character which gives the sound, and perhaps the
meaning to the character, is called by foreigners the
Phonetic or Primitive. The number of useful Phonetics
or Primitives is about ten or eleven ImncTrecl. The
Radicals combining with these, produce from fifteen to
twenty thousand characters. The number of Phonet-
ics, however, may be increased so as to produce all
the characters in the language. By this very ingenious
method any number of new characters can be formed,
which was probably the way most characters originated.
The rule of pronouncing the character by the
primitive is not in all cases certain, for time has
altered the sounds of many characters while the parts
themselves have not altered iu other cases, the
parts have altered while tlie sounds remained the
same so that now only a great degree of probability
as to the correct sound can be obtained by inspecting
its component parts. The similarity in sound
between most of the characters having the same
phonetic or primitive, is of great assistance in read-
ing Chinese and Japanese, tliough little in un-
derstancliug it. This subject will be treated of further
on.

VAEIATIONS OF CHARACTERS.
These have arisen from necessity or convenience.
They are said to have been made for tlie purpose of
simplifying very complicated characters. Other are
said to liave arisen from the different tastes of learned
men who undertook to better represent the meaning of
characters by a new combination of parts. Others have
arisen from mere caprice, others for the purpose of
abbreviation, while still others have evidently arisen
from ignorance. They arrange themselves under the
following heads :

1. Correct forms : as kio () to leave.


2.

writers
8.
: as for kio
Synonymous characters
(
Ancient forms, sometimes adopted by pedantic
to leave.
in which the juxta-
position of the component parts are changed, or a
wholly different form is adopted, while the significa-
tion remains the same as () for go (|^) or
hei ( for hci (©).
: r'ui

Similar words agreeing only in some particular


4.

signification : as hai ( ) for hai ().


5. Vulgar forms as han {ff^, for han ().
:

6. Abridged forms as ha. ) for ha ().


:

In meeting these variants care should be taken not


(
to confound characters which differ only in one or
two strokes, for they are often entirely different in
signification. In observing characters slightly modi-
fied in their component parts, they sliould never be
considered variants unless the parts which give mean-
ing are synonymous, as wood, herb, hamhoo, are often
INTRODUCTION. xxvii

used indiscriminately in composition of variants but


the symbols for earth and water can only enter in
composition witli characters which have no similarity
of meaning. Gallery gives forty- two different modes
of writing tlie character for precious, and forty-one of
the character honorable. These are, however, among
the curiosities of the language. A list of the variants
most in use are given in the Appendix of the present
work.

NUMBER OF USEFUL CHAEACTERS.


Those Y'lio have been accustomed to hear that the
number of different Chinese characters exceeds sixty
or eigiity thousand, and that to be able to read at all,

some ten thousand characters must be mastered, will


be encouraged and interested to know what scientific
investigation has ascertained on this point in China
and Japan. The late Dr. Wells Williams affirms
that the number of cliaracters in common use in China
scarcely exceeds six or eight thousand, while those
which are found in any ordinary work of moderate size
often amounts to no more than two or tliree thousand.
That part of the Chinese Penal Code, ^hicli was
translated into Engnsn, was found to contain less
than two thousand different cliaracters. It is said

()
of the ten

different
famous volumes of the
on good authority, that the number of
characters contained in them amounts to
San-goku-shi

only 8,342. The version of the Bible by Drs. Eobert


Morrison and Mile, consisting of twenty-one volumes,
contains only 3600 different characters. The author
of the Cliinese work called the Jiu-san-kio-shu-ji
xxviii INTRODUCTION.

(
Four Books
) states that tlie Shi-sho
or Classics, contain only 2,328 different
() the

characters the Go-kid ( ^^), the Five Classics, contain


only 2,42G different characters wliicii do not occur in
the Four Books, and that the whole number of
different characters in the Jm-scm-kio
Thirteen Classics, is only G,544.
( )
Later on, for the
the

purpose of ascertaining how many characters were


in common use, especially in Christian books, as well
as to improve the arrangement of the fonts of type, a
careful examination was made by two Chinese
scholars under the direction of Mr. "Wm. Gamble, of
the whole Bible and twenty-seven other books of a
religions nature, containing a total of 4,16b octavo
pages. These books contained an aggregate of over
1,100,000 characters, but only 5,150 different char-
acters. The number of different characters found in
the Old Testament, printed by the London Mission
Press, was only 3,946, while that of tlie New Testament,
printed at the Presbyterian Mission Press, amounted
to the small number of 2,713. Special inquiry on
this point with reference to the use of Chinese
characters in Jp.pan at the largest type foundry
in Tokio, and the largest Chinese- Japanese news-
paper office in the city, has confirmed the writer
that the facts ascertained for China will be found
true for Japan as well. These statements establish
several very important facts first, that in the
language of Japan and Cliiua, as well as iu the
languages of the west, five or six thousand characters
or words, is a 3.iumber sufficiently large to answer for
INTEODUCTION. xxix

and that the great mass of words wliicli are found in


languages generally, are technical words and do not
occur often. Second, that a student of Japanese and
Chinese gifted with an average memory will be able
witli the aid of proper helps given here, in tlie course
up information enough
of five or six years to store
concerning these characters and words to carry him
through all the ordinary purposes of life.

In taking up the study of these marvelous and


ingenious symbols of ideas of the oldest living
language iu the world, and which are used by more -

people than any other system of writing on the face of


the globe, the student should beware of over-zeal in
starting. There is perhaps no system of writing
wbicb. so soon captivates the learner. Their construc-
tion is so ingenious and original as to perfectly
enamor any one with even ordinary antiquarian
linguistic tastes. The writer ventures to affirm that
no one, be bis memory quick or slow, will find the
study of these characters, if pursued regularly and
methodically, not the least interesting and fascinating
part in the acquisition of the JaDanese language.

In writing Chinese characters it will be well to
observe that in some instances one part of a character
exceeds the other in height, and that certain strokes
are extended while others are shortened in certain
parts of the cliaracter. Also that several horizontal
lines are not made of equal length, Tvhile both
sides of a cliaracter containing about the same
number of strokes will likely be written of equal
size. The length of sweeps and curves will also
be observed as varying in different characters
horizontal strokes on the top of certain characters
must be made shorter than the corresponding strokes
at the bottom. These points and others will easily
be acquired, especially witli tlie aid of a teacher.
xxxiv INTRODUCTION.

METHOD OF AEKANGING CHAEACTEES.


For the purpose of arranging and facilitcating the
search for characters in dictionaries, a select list of
characters were cliosen as determinatives or heads,
under which to group the rest. These selected
characters are called by foreigners, Radicals or Keys,
and by the Chinese, JV ( ^), class characters y ox she-

mo Jul () Ijooh eyes, while the Japanese give them


the general name ofThe process of selecting
Hen.
these characters was to take the most prominent
part of each character as its radical or key, and
all those characters having the same radical or key

were placed under its corresponding radical, without


any regard to its sound or meaning, but having regard
to the number of the strokes of the primitive only. By
this arrangement the philosophical method of arrang-
ing them according to their subjects and sounds has per-
haps given way to the more practical. The number of
Eadicals has varied m different times and by different
lexicographers, some using 544, others 360, but for
the last four centuries 214 have been used. This list

is divided into seventeen groups, according to the


number of strokes they contain. The order of
the radicals in this list follows that of the Imperial
Dictionary, and is preserved generally in all diction-

aries. These characters rarely have any relation to


the sound of the characters of which they form a
part, but often serve to point out the general sense
of thecompound. This will be seen where they are
grouped according to their general heads. Others
INTRODUCTION. XXXV

are only a combination of unmeaning strokes, wliile

still others possessing in themselves a meaning, yet


when united witli other characters do not in the least
influence the sense of the compounds.

Place of the Radicals in Combination.

Nothing very determined or fixed may be said as


to the place of the radical in the compound, but
as a rule the radical is the most prominent part
of a character. It does occur, however, that the
least conspicuous part of a character is chosen some-
times for the radical because connected in some 'way
with the sense of the compound. In general it may
be said that the most usual place for the radical is

on the left side of the primitive. There are others,


however, which always occupy the right side others
have no fixed place some occupy the top, others the
bottom some are divided, one part placed on one
side and the other part placed on the opposite, or
one of the parts may be found at the top, while the
other part is found at the bottom of the character.
There are others again Tvhicli form receptacles within
which the compound parts are written, and others have
composite forms, each having a different locality.
The position and primitive in some
of the radical
characters may alter the sound and meaniug of the
compound, "wliile in other cases the sound only is
changed by the alteration. These radicals are capa-
ble of being interchanged for others of like general
meaning, while slight variations make new characters.
The ability of the student to use this or any other
native dictionary will depend upon liow well he has
xxxvi INTRODUCTION.

mastered these EacTical Characters. For the present


work it "'ill not be necessary to commit them by the
number of strokes the order in which they come in
the group and dictionary being of primary importance.
Next to this in importance is the mastery of the
Analysis of Radicals and the Test Tables, so as to tell

at sight the radical of any character. These radicals


are treated of in a variety of ways for the purpose of
aiding the student in their complete mastery. The
learner cannot be urged too strongly to make himself
thoroughly familiar with these radicals before proceed-
ing further.

PEIMITIVES OK PHONETICS.

The ordinary method of acquiring Chinese char-


acters in China and Japan, by memorizing them,
has given rise to many select lists of characters.
Among the most important of these is the San-ji-kio
( ), the Three Character Classic the Sen-ji-
mm, ( ) the Thousand Character Classic,
)
and the Shi-ji-kio ( the Four Letter
Classic.
The characters in these books are selected with
reference to their frequency, as well as to sub-
jects suitable for children. They are also in-
tended as preliminary to the study of the Classics.
But however an important part these works may
serve in acquiring a knowledge of Chinese characters
for natives, yet it cannot be expected that tliey will

answer the same purpose for the foreigner. The


chief difficulties in the way of the foreigner using
these lists of characters, are 1st, that the student
is expected tomemorize the characters by their
general form without analyzing them 2nd, the single
meaning given very imperfectly represents the char-
acters, and are often misleading. It is perhaps im-

possible to so arrange a select list of characters as


to exhibit fully all their various meanings and uses.
These symbols, like words in other languages, are
best learned by reading where they are used with
other words, and where their various shades of
meanings are brought out by the thought of the
writer. It is evident also that by reading, one will

naturally acquire the most useful characters first, and


will best remember them by their connection with
the thought of the author this is now fast becoming
a popular method of acquiring a knowieage of the
characters in Japan.
If, however, a knowledge of a number of characters
will be helpful as capital, these must be selected, not
especially with reference to their frequency of use in
a given number of books, but they must be selected
especially with reference to the frequency with which
they combine with other characters to form new ones.
Such a list well analyzed and mastered, in sound
and meaning by the aid of a dictionary, cannot fail to
be of immense assistance to the student.
To the beginner, the Chinese characters appear but
a jumble of meaningless strokes, but gradually be
discovers that the apparently fortuitous combination
of strokes are capable of being separated into two
main parts, from one of which tlie sound may usually
be inferred, even though the character has never
been met with before, and from the other a tolerably
accurate clue to the meaning may be obtained. For
convenience the former of these parts is called the
Primitive, or Phonetic, and the latter the Radical or Key
of a character. The manner in which this simplifies
the acquisition of Chinese characters is too apparent
to need elucidation. It is no longer a question of com-
mitting to memory an immense number of separate
characters or pictures, but rather of classifying new
and strange characters under their Phonetics, with
the Radicals to indicate the general sense of the
derivative. Even suppose that tlie Phonetic and
INTRODUCTION. ciii

Radical could in no instance be relied on to give


the sound or a clue to the meaning of a derivative,
and that the precise meaning of every character must
nevertheless be ascertained from the dictionary, yet
it is easy to see how a knowledge of the two com-
ponent parts of a character will greatly assist in
remembering its Whatever assists
precise meaning.
the student in diminishing the labor of remembering
the meanings of characters, is advantageous.
The existence of such characters, which by associat-
ing to themselves others, form the great bulk of the
characters in the Chinese language, was first as-
certained in 1803 by Dr. Marshman, in India. While
investigating the characters of a Latin dictionary
with reference to their principles of construction, he
observed that in numerous instances one character
was the root often or twelve others, each of which was
formed from it by the addition of a single Radical.
For instance, the addition of the Radical hand to a
primitive formed one character, while this same
primitive uniting with Radical head formed a
different character. These Radicals again exchanged
for others, and joined with the same primitive pro-
duced still other characters. He also discovered that
characters thus formed same primitive
from the
generally took the sound of the primitive with some
slight variation. This discovery was so fraught with
hope, that he was induced to examine the dictionary
from beginning to end. He found with astonishment
and pleasure, that all of the nine thousand characters
contained in the dictionary were formed from eignt
hundred and sixty-two primitive characters.
— -

civ INTRODUCTION.

Fearing lest he should be mistaken in a fact that

promised to throw so much light on the formation


of characters,and knowing also that the nine thou-
sand which he had examined were but a small
proportion of the whole mass in the language, he was
constrained, by the help of bis Chinese assistants, to
examine the whole of the Imperial Dictionary. After
fifteen months hard labor he had the great satisfac-

tion of seeing every character in the dictionary


derived from another, and classed under its proper
4 primitive. The wliole number of Primitives he found
to be 3,867, to which he added the 214 Radicals, most,
combined as Primitives with other Eaaicals,,
of which,
/ thus making the whole number of Primitives 4,081,
from which all the characters in the dictionary,
forty- one thousand, —were derived.
, For the purpose of ascertaining the most useful
primitives of this large list, he subjected them to an
additional examination. This examination revealed
the fact that out of the 4,081 primitives, 1,726 of this
number combined only once with a Radical to form
a third, and tliat they were themselves produced from
other primitives and Radicals, and therefore might
for all practical purposes be dropped from the list.

Again, he found that 452 others united with only two


different Kadicals, and since they also are included
under simpler forms, he excluded these also from the
list. These lists, 1,726 and 452, making 2,178 primi-
tives,producing only 2,630 derivatives, may properly
be dropped, leaving only 1,689 primitives^ which,
with the 214 Eadicals, produce seven-eighths of all the
characters in the language. In 1841 J. M. Gallery
INTRODUCTION. cv

subjected Dr. Marshman's select list of 1,689* primi-

tives to a still further exam ination, and found that


649 of this list united with only three different Eadicals
and that their derivatives were uncommon characters.
Dropping these from the list, lie found also that the
remaining 1,040 primitives produced 12,740 deriva-
tives, and that they included all the useful characters
in the language.
The late Dr. Wells Williams conveniently divides
these primitives into the following classes :

mitives.

but are not productive enough to entitle them to a place in this list.

cvi INTRODUCTION.

II. Primitives formed of a Radical, with an addition


which is of itself unmeaning.
III. Primitives formed of two Eadicals, or which can
be conveniently separated into two complete Eadicals.
IV. Primitives which are formed of three or four
Eadicals.
V. Primitives formed from a derivative, by the
addition of another Eadical or by the combination of
two derivatives.
The name Primitive or Phonetic applied to these
characters must not be understood as carrying with
them the idea when called Primitives that they are
the first made characters, or that the Phonetic always
gives the sound to the derivative. They impart
their entire sound to about one-half of their deriva-
tives, and in others only their initial, ov final sound is
imparted, while the sound of many other derivatives
are entirely different. The primitive also often
materially aids the sense of the derivative.
The acquisition of the 214 Eadicals, and these
select Primitives, which produce as we have seen
12,740 of the most useful characters, lias the advan-
tage of being systematic and cannot fail of being the
speediest and at the way of
same time tlie easiest
acquiring a knowledge of Chinese characters. With
this system, any one gifted with an average memory
will be able in the course of five or six years, witli his
other studies, to become familiar with all the
Chinese characters necessary for all the ordinary pur-
poses of life. It is certainly a subject for profound
gratitude that the labors of these diligent and faithful
students of tlie Chinese symbols of writing are so
INTRODUCTION. cvii

serviceable to us in the acquisition of these same


characters found in the language oi Japan, and of
which they form so prominent and important a part.
The following, with the exception of a few obsolete
characters, are the above mentioned select primi-
tives in the Kai-slio, Sd-sho and Ten-sho styles of
writing, grouped according to their number of strokes.

The numerals refer to the page of the dictionary where


their sounds, analyses and meanings are given. The
student, after he has thoroughly mastered the Eadicals,
cannot be too strongly induced to familiarize himself
with these characters as capital, which he may be
assured will yield him a high rate of interest.
For all practical purposes these will be sufficient,
although this list can easily be increased if desired
so as to produce all the characters in the language.
He will be able also to ascertain with which Eadicals
the following primitives combine, by running through
the lists of characters grouped under the Eadicals
in the dictionary, where their derivatives will be easily
recognized.

1. The Shi Sei ( or Four Tones.


a. The Hid () or even tone indicated by a
circle or half circle at the left bottom corner
of the character.
h. The Jo () or rising tone indicated by the
circle [it tlie left top corner of the character.
c. The Kiyo () or declining tone indicated
by the circle at the right top corner of the
character.
d. The Niu () or entering tone indicated by

The character () indicates the original or
ordinary sound, and () indicates the sound and
meaning when the circle is added. As in China the
inflection clianqes the meaning of characters, so in

Japan the changing of the sound of a character


changes its meaning also, and again the meaning
only changes while the sound remains the same.
This list of characters most in use lias been carefully
arranged, and - ill be found useful in reading the
Classics and other works wliei'e these inflections are
indicated.
