Features: This book conveys the cultural and scientific information contained in Chinese characters to readers in the form of scriptures. It features vivid, illustrated explanations along with corresponding poetic and literary interpretations, making it an academic work that reveals the mysteries of Chinese characters. Mr. Qiao Qihong's The Scriptures of Chinese Characters is a unique work that combines the revelation of the mysteries of Chinese characters with the resolution of teaching difficulties. The entire book uses only over a hundred character roots, employing a refined and comprehensive classification to categorize and systematically elaborate on all things in the universe. The elaboration takes two forms: one is using the original scriptures of Chinese characters, where each character is explained through a 32-character scripture that conveys the original meaning of the character root; the other is using deductive poetry, where each poem consists of 28 Chinese characters to demonstrate the creative thinking of ancient scholars in inventing new characters based on character roots. This work integrates Chinese character teaching with encyclopedic knowledge, benefiting both the cultivation of summarization skills and analytical abilities.
