A Feedback from the Chinese Language Teachers

In responce to my articles about the Chinese character decomposition I am receiving a feedback from the Chinese language teachers.

The requests can be structurized as the following:

1. There is “something in the Chinese character decomposition”.

2. No time and resources to decompose the Chinese characters.

3. No textbooks with the decomposed Chinese characters.

My answers to the esteemed colleagues are:

1. The Chinese Character decomposition is the new word in the Chinese language teaching. No doubt in it.

2. Decomposition is a highly time consuming process. It took me about ten years to work out and test this principle in the classroom with my students.

3. The textbooks with the Chinese character decomposition are available on Polina Shinkina’s Author Spotlight page http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/polina985.  

All the Chinese characters are decomposed in them. No need for you to re-decompose. Just take the textbook you like and teach successfully!

Good luck dear colleagues in your noble endeavours!

Chinese Character   骤   zhòu  ‘gallop, sudden’ consists of the radical   马  mǎ   ‘horse’ and character  聚  jù  ‘get together’. 

Chinese character   聚   jù   ‘get together’ consists of the radical   耳   ěr   ‘ear’, radical  又 yòu ‘again’ and character  乑  yín  ‘stand in the crowd’.

So, the main components of the Chinese Character   骤   zhòu   ‘gallop, sudden’ are:

1. Radical   马   mǎ   ‘horse’ ,

2. Character   聚   jù   ‘get together’. 

Components of the Chinese character   聚 jù   ‘get together’ are the following:

1. Radical   耳   ěr   ‘ear’,

2. Radical   又   yòu   ‘again’ ,

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 般 bān ‘sort’ :

舟 zhōu boat,
丿 piě slash,
丹 dān red,
⺆ jiōng down box,
一 yī one,
丶 zhǔ dot,
殳 shū weapon,
几 jǐ table,
丿 piě slash,
⺄ yǐ second,
又 yòu again,

舟丿丹⺆ 一丶殳几丿⺄ 又

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