To help you learn Chinese characters with fun, today ChineseHour will demonstrate you the interesting facts for Chinese-character formation. Some Chinese professors have composed a new system of San-zi-jin, Three Sinogram Verses Using Free Radical , which is aimed to help non-native Chinese speakers to learn the common characters effeciently. If you have difficulty in understanding the detailed meanings for the Chinese characters, please ask ChineseHour adviser or your private teachers any time.
The first part of Three Sinogram Verses Using Free Radical presents 56 verses, which collects the most frequently-used radicals that are characters by themselves, like “人”，”日”,”月”. Each verse is composed of three characters, two single characters and a combined character thereby formed. The two single characters are respectively two radicals; therefore, one hundred and twelve radicals are introduced in this primer. Every four verses form a stanza, metrically precise and beautiful so as to greatly facilitate recital and memorization.
