This book is a foray into the ideographic nature of one of the world’s most ancient systems of writing - Chinese. Presented in this book is an ideographic explanation of the 100 most frequent Chinese characters. The author believes they constitute a powerful learning aid which can shorten the time taken to familiarize oneself with these ancient characters from a period of several weeks of study to less than a few hours of interested reading. The explanations given are not explanations of characters as symbols, but plausible ideographic associations of the character’s visual form with the popular meaning the character has in current usage. Further, it is for the first time in recorded history that it is being demonstrated in plain language that the Chinese characters may be understood as pure ideographs.
