This is obviously more of a reference than a study tool... I'm watching it primarily because it shows stroke order, which can come in handy when practicing your writing.
That was quite an awesome dedicated work. The patience that it took you to make this video is unimaginable. I would have lost patience even at the idea of creating it. Thanks so much.
Estoy comenzando mi camino en el chino y esto es simplemente fascinante. Había comenzado solo con pinyin sin ahondar en la escritura, pero ahora no puedo dejar de ver videos sobre escritura, es un choque cultural impresionante como hispanohablante.
This composition is very elegant and beautiful and I hope you are proud to present your language in such a timeless way, combining form and function into a masterclass of instruction. No-one does sophistication and presentation like the Chinese.
Literally one of the best videos! The stroke writing order of the characters is important and makes it easier to remember. Thank you lao shi! Namaste from India. P.S.: Would have been great if you could have included the pronunciation but this works.
Simplemente: un video perfecto. Fui compiándolos al mismo tiempo y la música de fondo fue un placer. Disfrutable de inicio al fin, y en español!! Se agradece!
Just a word of caution, this video is only about radicals in the "modern" 18th century Kangxi dictionary. For thousands of years, Chinese writing has been merged and split due to limited visual expressions, some "radicals" which looked similar were pressed into one for easy categorization in this "modern" dictionary (vs almost 2000 years old dictionary "Shuowan Jiezi"). For example, radical 16 几 is very different from the form ⺇. The examples given in the video, only the 3rd and the 5th truly belong to this radical 几 (a low table, stool). The 1st, 2nd and 4th (凡/风/凬) belonged to two different radicals, ⺇ came from 风 "wind", look at it as a big "sails/fans" (that catches or generates "wind"), thus, the legendary birds 鳳/凤 , Phoenix, that the ancient believed arriving with the seasonal changes of wind from the south. The writings are easily distinguishable in traditional Chinese 風 (wind) and 鳳 (Phoenix) and read as homophones; in simplified forms as 风 and 凤, they can be confusing. If you look up other older dictionaries for 凡 , you will not find it under the radical 几 nor 風, it is under radical: 二 .
Many Westerners don't understand Chinese characters at all. They think Chinese characters are pictures that have nothing to do with each other. Each picture is a letter, so there are tens of thousands of Chinese characters. But in fact, the letters of Chinese characters are actually radicals. Chinese characters are very regular, and related Chinese characters have the same radicals. For example, these 214 Kangxi radicals can form all Chinese characters.
This is awesome- everything i was looking for - yeah pronunciation would be a benefit BUT I LOVEE the music- is there an actual track(s) I can look up. It gave me some musical composition ideas :) .. the music was a great touch don’t change that.
Thank you for using traditional characters which can be seen more in alignment with their ancient predecessors. The jianti zi are way over simplified and most of the etymological development is lost Even as a foreigner learning Chinese I can see this . Great work 💯!
Agree completely !! Chinese 3000 has selected radicals video with beautiful pronunciation but, alas, uses the simplified characters. I'm trying to learn Qing era Chinese to research the Herbal medicine texts. Plus, it's way easier to learn Traidtional first then go to Simplified rather than the other way around.
Write EVERY traditional character you learn 20 times over in an exercise book and do at least 20 characters a day. Do it every day for a whole week, then do the same words the next week but with simplified characters. THEN come back again and tell me about your learning experience and what you think about trad vs simplified after such an experience.
Brilliant! Im learning Spanish and Chinese now so it's really useful. It would be perfect though if you could add audio pronunciation. But thank you anyway! :D
Thanks for the helpful clip. I'm an absolute beginner of Chinese, but I understand most of the radicals because I'm Japanese. I'm trying to focus on pronunciation of each radical.
Well, I know that. I have some Chinese friends. They are really polite and respectful of us. They haven't talked about such a thing with me. Why did you talk about it? Just nonsense.
Excuse me Jp, pay no attention to paul Cobbert. He is one of those type of peole who need more books besides history war ones. He should get some reading on history of peace among nations. Maybe he could get some peace himself from reading them.
Split the difference and say music with pronunciation just to hear it.. I get why you’re asking. Yet the music is great. If you have an ear for it I guess
This is the cat's meow. I am studying Mandarin Chinese words but will need to come back here to learn how to write the characters correctly (stroke order). Thank you for posting.
Thanks a lot! But - if you added pronunciation of each radical, first slow then faster you would double the quality of the video; add a forward-reverse navigation tool for each radical and it will get even better. And what to say about the samples? Adding a pinyin transcription, English (Spanish) translation, and a clear, slow pronunciation would make this a very helpful teaching/learning tool. (I know, I know; it takes a lot of work.)
Thank you for this amazing afford 👍 ⭐ you have put into this video, most unlikely expected to find anywhere. The music 🎵 Nice touch. Can you add sound to the pronunciations too that would be great. Thanks 😌.
Before computers, they used radicals grouping words for easier searching in dictionaries. Modern dictionaries , thanks goodness, no longer use radicals for classification. Now a day, we can type the character, looking for its meaning, and pronunciation. We can type pinyin, looking for the character, etc.
This video is a godsend. Too many books have simple pictures of the radicals (usually just a selection of them) with no information on how to draw them. Only two small complaints: no animations of the variants, and no Japanese names. Otherwise, perfect!
The stroke order for some Japanese kanji is different from the Chinese one so it would only confuse things. Better to keep Japanese for a separate video.
this is so interesting. if we are good in arts, it is easier to remember all this scary char. i am learning hanzi. this video is very helpful. xiexie laoshi.
I recommend you to write these characters with your left hand because it seems for me easier to do so. I also memorize them faster because of the fact that I write them with my LEFT HAND, I suggest you to do so, try it out P.S Sorry for my English, if you did not understand me then, sorry I am just learning.
I am left handed and I struggle to write them on my whiteboard using marker because when i touch the written letters on the boards while writing from left to right they got erase so it would be better to write them on notebook🤣🤦 But it's easy to write them.♥️
Muchisimas gracias por este video. Estoy empezando a estudiar mandarin. Resulta que mi profesora no habla español, sólo ingles. Asi que este video me ayuda a aprender los radicales y a recordar vocabulario en ingles para comunicarme con ella XD gracias enserio!!
TBH, my intelligence is not been insulted by simplified Chinese writing, because I understand the importance of keeping writing systems easy to use and practical in form. I need the simplified forms for writing and reading, though; in my real world situation, learning the traditional forms is just for fashion. It's not practical to ignore simplified forms. However, since only a relatively few radicals have been simplified, this video is still an excellent tool for me.
..and the simplified is the racourcie or shortcut to that traditional one. What offends you does not offend us at all. To put it in plural is too much, though. Speak for yourself and not for any imaginary else.
@@painetcirque5695 Great !! I hope some will support my idea for Simplified English characters, easier to write and use !! Here is a famous line from Shakespeare in the new simplified system: "2 b or no 2 b, dat's da kweston ° Let us get rid of stuffy old English and old so called "Traditional" Chinese.
Can't help but love how mother (R79) @33:00 also means 'do not'... hidden culture points... & just digging how weapon @32:07 (R79) is a combo of right hand (@9:30 R29) under a small table (@4:43 R16); the same reason as Europeans shake hands! & on the topic of cutlery, it's always fun to compare (R81) @33:14 Spoons (R21) @6:40. 😂 Some radicals make perfect sense & others utterly baffle.... Can't help wonder why 'hand' (R64) @24:15 has 4 strokes, not to mention looks more complex than '2 hands' (R55) @20:25, which has only 3? & then there is Right hand... Mouth (R30) @9:53 vs. square (R70) @27:20 .... come on, is that some sort of a sick joke? No math points for ancient Chinese creators! Sun (R72) @28:25 & Say (R73) @28:57 differ literally only in width! Another bad math joke at the expense of calligraphers, perhaps? what's the relationship between Shoot (R56) @20:48, Halberd (R62) @23:19, & Clan (R83) @34:22? Is this a reference to warring period between various clans? Does Fire (R86) @36:00 look like a stickman to anyone else? R9 @2:25 definitely doesn't look like a person to me! & can anyone explain the distinction between mouth (R30) @9:53 vs. enclosure (R31) @10:16, please?
Well done. A useful reference. I'd like to see definitions for the examples. That way I could see how combinations of characters arrive at their meanings. I appreciate that would be a tall order to accomplish. Cheers.
Valuable suggestion, thank you! You're right, it would take a lot of work, but so did the making of this video and I'm certainly willing to improve it. Taking note!
Great video with animation. Before even these basic radicals, if someone is well familiar with basic strokes, he can enjoy these animations. Pronunciation is badly missing.
Ok, great find!! This was kinda what I was looking for, but I didn't realize that there were going to be so many traditional characters. Some of which I couldn't find meanings for or if a simplified version exists. I wrote them all down though and translated everything that I could. QUESTION!!!! Why are some of the radicals in RED but most of them in PURPLE? There must be some explanation that I can't figure out. Please explain.
To make this the best video ever, we need a native speaker to say each instead of distracting music. Preferably in Mandarin with a first tier city accent.
This is amazing work. I have a question. How did you make all these stroke order animations? One by one using a gif editor then importing them to the video file? Or is there a better way? Would love to know thanks a lot!
Hope somebody recommend my videos to those who are interested in Chinese. I teach Chinese with humor and cute pictures. Chinese characters still retain their pictographic origins. Knowing what the characters look like originally can help remember them. I’ve spent about 100,000 hours studying English humor and Western culture, and many years studying Chinese culture and jokes. My native language is Chinese.
For those who want to remember the radicals, you don't need to remember the meaning of each radical, because most native speakers just know less than 50% of the meanings. Practicing how to write them is only required.
Xie Xie & Thank you. This vid. is best taken in 30 min. chunks for good practice. & I love how some visually similar radicals follow one another, i.e. Knife & Power, Mouth & Enclosure, Earth & Scholar, Go & go Slow, Sprout & Mountain; it's really helps learning by comparison. But I guess it was not intentional as there are others that aren't included in a set, i.e. straight hook & slash don't follow line; 10 doesn't come before Earth & Scholar; Roof, cover, & lid are separated despite visual similarities, as are 2nd & self; 2 & dry; tiny & private/secret; seal, corpse, & door, etc. I guess this vid.'s order is simply based on stroke order, perhaps for calligraphy. But for reading comprehension, visual contrast is most needed. Is there anyway to group the radicals based on visual appearance, please? & Thank you. ^_^
Thank you so much for the hard work that went into this. Which companion book of Chinese radicals would you recommend to someone who already speaks but are new to writing and reading in Chinese?
I honestly did not expect to find something like this for free
why not ? why this can't be free
@@tannguyenphoto I come from the time when you had to pay for dictionaries so maybe it's me 🤣🤣
Yeah, I remember those days too. And now, it's like you have to pay a subscription for everything!
One does not simply learn Chinese without being fascinated by the language, the people, and the history, and the culture of China
MELT UP truth
hahaha, same with anything in life u win only if u breadth the culture around ur point of supposed interest
Damn
I'm taking chinese class becyase I already know spanish and ther other class is English becuase there's alot of brazillians at my school

instead of music you could simply put an pronunciation audio for each character...
borisarchful look them up in google dictionary
..but all the radicals have names. These are useful in talking to, or even understanding, teachers.
You should technically be at the point of being able to read pinyin and tones if you're already learning character components.

But I guess it was not intentional as there are others that aren't included in a set, i.e. straight hook & slash don't follow line; 10 doesn't come before Earth & Scholar; Roof, cover, & lid are separated despite visual similarities, as are 2nd & self; 2 & dry; tiny & private/secret; seal, corpse, & door, etc. I guess this vid.'s order is simply based on stroke order, perhaps for calligraphy. But for reading comprehension, visual contrast is most needed.
Is there anyway to group the radicals based on visual appearance, please? & Thank you. ^_^
Благодарю!🌹🌹🌹👍👍👍
