More Picturing Chinese

Many Chinese characters are pictographic and therefore look like the objects they represent. These characters are among some of the oldest and most common characters in Chinese and can often be used together with other characters to form new characters.

More Picturing Chinese adds twelve new characters to the beginning Chinese learner’s repertoire. With an easy-to-follow introduction on stroke order and more beautiful illustrations to accompany each character, this book, just like Picturing Chinese, transports the reader and demystifies the system of Chinese writing.
