Learn to Write Chinese Characters

Klappentext 'An engagingly written! pedagogically correct! and highly informative self-instructional tool for students of Chinese as well as for calligraphy enthusiasts who do not speak Chinese.' Characters are one of the most fascinating aspects of the Chinese language and occupy a prominent place in Chinese culture. Good handwriting is also very important in learning Chinese: the strokes that make up the characters must be written in a certain rigidly specified order! and they must also be written in a special way. Zusammenfassung An introductory manual for writing Chinese characters specifically designed for English-speaking readers. The author guides the reader through the fundamentals of writing! introduces the various scripts used in China and demonstrates how to write with a fountain pen rather than a brush.
