This volume offers a collection of over 1600 mnemonics for Chinese simplified characters - ideal for autodidactic learners, high schools, colleges, universities and private language institutes. The way of making Chinese characters easy to memorize is here to divide them into smaller components that have already a meaning of their own. These components are combined into short one-phrase-stories that can be easily remembered and provide a fascinating impression of the pictorial language of Chinese characters.
