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 - David W. Pankemer, Lehigh University.
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 character must be written in a certain rigidly specified order, and they must also be written in a special way.
This book is the only introduction manual for writing
Chinese Characters prepared specifically for an English speaking audience. The author guides the reader through the fundamentals of writing and introduces the different types of script used in China today, their evolution, their place in
Chinese tradition and the relations among them. The book provides basic instruction in writing with a modern fountain pen rather than a brush. Only commonly used
Characters - both simplified and full forms - appear as examples and exercise. Also included is an explanation of how to look up
Characters in a
Chinese dictionary.
Johan Bjorksten has studied and worked in China for a number of years and has taught
Chinese to non-native learners. Currently a resident of Beijing, he has also published a beginners textbook of the
Chinese language. The calligraphy is by Yan Rutmin, Vice Secretary the
Chinese Hard-Pen Calligraphic Society.
