Uncrown Your Fears



Have you ever tried to use Chinese character decomposition method to memorize Chinese characters?

Chinese character seems to be simple when its structure is analysed and understood.

Decomposition of the Chinese сharacter bān ‘sort’ :

zhōu boat,
丿 piě slash,
dān red,
jiōng down box,
yī one,
zhǔ dot,
shū weapon,
jǐ table,
丿 piě slash,
yǐ second,
yòu again,

舟丿丹 一丶殳几丿⺄

I think the Chinese character decomposition can totally uncrown the myth about the Chinese characters’ difficulty.
What is your opinion?
