For each of the basic 1062 characters the pronunciation, definition, and derivation are provided, frequently with examples of usage and a chart showing how to write the character. Memorization tips and cautionary cross-references to look-alike characters are also provided, as well as helpful notes clarifying often overlooked aspects of the Chinese writing system. ________________________ Condition: inside pages are clean, bright, and without highlighting or other markings, with the exception of light staining of outer pages along the bottom.
