Features: As is well known, the Japanese characters originate from Chinese characters. Their pronunciations, whether on'yomi or kun'yomi, naturally have various connections with the pronunciations of Chinese characters. However, due to the evolution that has occurred over more than a thousand years, the rules have also undergone various changes, making it temporarily difficult to fully uncover all the rules connecting Japanese character pronunciations with Chinese character pronunciations. Therefore, the pronunciation of Japanese characters has long been a major challenge in learning Japanese. Now, after summarizing and comparing a large amount of materials, many rules have been discovered. This book is written after classifying and organizing these patterned Japanese characters, with the aim of helping readers better learn and master them.
