Book Description
This book sets out a clear learning progression that will help students make faster progress in acquiring the language skills needed to read and write Mandarin Chinese. It concentrates on the 25 most commonly used radicals giving a clear explanation of their meanings and how to recognise them in their distorted forms. It introduces other characters that include these radicals helping to build a vocabulary that is relevant to beginners. For the first time it draws the students attention to those characters that carry the phonic, and this enables the students to look at a new word, have some idea of how it might be pronounced. Understanding the radicals, their meaning, their distorted forms, and learning which characters carry the phonic is the fastest way to achieve a basic literacy in Chinese.

Book Description
This ambitious work provides a systematic study of Chinese theories of reading and writing in intellectual thought and critical practice. The author maintains that there are two major hermeneutic traditions in Chinese literature: the politico-moralistic mainstream and the metaphysico-aesthetical undercurrent. In exploring the interaction between the two, Ming Dong Gu finds a movement toward interpretive openness. In this, the Chinese practice anticipates modern and Western theories of interpretation, especially literary openness and open poetics. Classic Chinese works are examined, including the Zhouyi (the I Ching or Book of Changes), the Shijing (the Book of Songs or Book of Poetry), and selected poetry, along with the philosophical background of the hermeneutic theories. Ultimately, Gu relates the Chinese practices of reading to Western hermeneutics, offering a cross-cultural conceptual model for the comparative study of reading and writing in general.

Book Description
This book offers a completely new sequence for learning Chinese writing. If foreign students start learning to write Chinese by first inputting Radicals on the computer, they will make faster progress in being able to remember the vocabulary, and their transition to writing Chinese by hand will be more successful. At every stage in this carefully thought out sequence, the student should be encouraged to also practice what they have learnt on computer by writing the characters out by hand. The biggest problem that students have with learning Mandarin Chinese is being able to write Chinese. It is a daunting task because of the sheer number of different characters involved and also because until now each character has been treated as a unique and separate entity. The time needed to commit all this vocabulary to memory and gain fluency and facility in writing Chinese is immense, but using this method it will make learning faster.
