Lesson2: The component characters(A)                                 [A][B][C]

Most characters are combined by two or three characters, here are some examples:

1. the idea of 'woods' was expressed when two 'tree' characters were joined. and three 'trees' means 'forest'.

 (mu)(mu) (lin)

      Tree     +   Tree    =    Woods

  木(mu)(mu)(mu)(sen)

        Tree     +   Tree   +    Tree     =  Forest

2. Joining two 'person' characters makes a new character-'follow' , means one person following another. Three 'person' characters together means 'a lot of people'.

  (ren)+人(ren)=(cong)

       Person   +   Person   =   Follow

  人(ren)+人(ren)+人(ren)=(zhong)

            Person   +   Person  +   Person =   Many people

 [A][B][C]                                                                                                            Next
