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.

Excellent video clip on Chinese radicals; clear and informative with stroke order despite being brief. Keep up the good work.

[@borisarchful]

instead of music you could simply put an pronunciation audio for each character...

[@anthondeutsch3133]

borisarchful look them up in google dictionary

[@TheDavidlloydjones]

..but all the radicals have names. These are useful in talking to, or even understanding, teachers.

[@alexliu5806]

You should technically be at the point of being able to read pinyin and tones if you're already learning character components.

[@trifidos39]

[@gabbishlee5105]

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

Thanks for the kind words, Estrella!

[@simschiu]

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 .

[@deparagigm]

[@HamletsMill25920]

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.

[@MaryAnn-mn3fm]

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 💯!

[@Jimserac]

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.

[@Alasterius41]

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.

[@gabbishlee5105]

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.

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.

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.)

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!

[@feqwix]

Thanks for your valuable suggestions! I'll try to implement them to make this resource better. Thanks for watching!

Edward Wood Why would there be Japanese names if this is a Chinese radicals video?

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.

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.

Thank you for not insulting our intelligence by presenting them as "simplified". The traditional characters are part of real Chinese.

[@cmaven4762]

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.

I am not offended, either.

[@alexds8452]

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?

[@alexds8452]

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. ^_^
