内容简介:“Chinese Characters are Drawn” is a child’s first book for Chinese character enlightenment.
In its early stages, Chinese characters were oracle bone inscriptions, resembling drawings. They featured clumsy yet charming lines, vivid and lively, making them easy to understand at a glance. Oracle bone inscriptions perfectly align with children's visual cognitive thinking. Children at the character recognition stage are innocent and wonderful; their way of viewing the world is very similar to how ancient people created characters, allowing them to appreciate the primitive and rugged natural beauty of oracle bone inscriptions more easily than adults.
Starting with oracle bone inscriptions is a correct and fun way to introduce children to the world of Chinese characters.
With these observations and years of practical teaching, a father with ten years of experience in oracle bone script research decided to teach his three-year-old daughter characters using the correct method. He collaborated with child psychologist Dai Zhendong, Muji designer Li Zhiqian, and children's illustrator A Xian. This resulted in the book “Chinese Characters are Drawn.”
编辑推荐:
1. Professionally Authored.
Mr. Liu Liangpeng, with ten years of experience in oracle bone script research, joined forces with child psychologist Dai Zhendong, Muji designer Li Zhiqian, and children's illustrator A Xian to create this set of oracle bone character recognition textbooks.
2. Rigorous.
Oracle bone inscriptions tell us more intuitively why a Chinese character is written the way it is, what its meaning is, and even why, by following established rules, two characters can combine to form a new one. For example, 女 (nǚ, woman) + 子 (zǐ, child) = 好 (hǎo, good). The character "好" depicts a mother holding an infant in swaddling clothes; in ancient times, a woman's ability to bear children was considered a beautiful thing. This is the origin of "好".
3.Optimal Selection.
108 simple Chinese characters were carefully selected from children's daily lives. All of them have appeared in the new character list of first-grade Chinese language textbooks.
4.Fun.
The entire book is like a guessing game. During the game, children not only remember the adorable oracle bone inscriptions and corresponding Chinese characters but also learn the four forms of character evolution. Come and play the "Guess What This Character Is" game!
5.High Aesthetic Appeal.
The book meticulously uses over two hundred gentle colors, with a clean and generous layout. Seventeen illustrations drawn from oracle bone inscriptions are introduced to open the door to imagination and stimulate children's interest in writing and drawing.
6.Eco-friendly and Soft Paper.
The inner pages use imported eco-friendly Swedish lightweight paper, which has a soft color that is easy on the eyes. The paper has a low basis weight, is soft and easy to lay flat, and has a natural cedar scent.
