The picture for "king" did not capture the real meaning of the character 王. In ancient China, the emperor claims to be the son of god, connecting heaven, earth, and people. The three horizontal line represents heaven, earth and people, the vertical line connects the three, hence the character 王. This character was not created from the shape of the object like 人, but the philosophical meaning of the object

[@leavesofdecember]

thank you for this more elevated explanation ! I doubt I could now ever forget the character for king !! PS. I simply love how so many of the words have stories attatched to them, it makes them much easier to remember and also lots of fun to learn new ways of thinking about objects!

[@khansharuk1067]

***** Well ，you probably ask for the difference of “人人” and “大家”. the exact meaning of “大家” is “all of you/all of us”.“人人”means“each of us”. we often say “大家好”in chinese and“hello,everyone"in english otherwise what we say"人人都通过了测试” means “everyone passed the exam” therefore .both “人人” and “大家”are translated to “everyone”.

對外國人學中文最有效和理想的方法是由學繁體中文開始, 因為大多數繁體中文字都是由2000多年前的中國文字不斷進化並演變至今, 是極具歷史價值的,相反簡體字只有很短暫的歷史. 再者, 學習繁體字不但令你對傳統中文字有更深入的理解,而且可以更透徹知道字體背後的創造原意. 可是, 為了書寫方便快捷, 大多簡體中文字的構造都被刪減, 甚至假借普通話同音或近音的字,完全失去原有的意思, 因此, 外國人會很難透過想像事物的形狀外貌猜想簡體字的意思,令學習中文更加困難. It's better and beneficial for foreigners to start by learning traditional Chinese at the beginning because the present characters in TS have been widely used and greatly evolved for at least 2000 years, but simplified Chinese only has a very short history. Not only can you better learn more original characters, but also deeply understand the initial creation meaning of each of them . Yet, in SC, most of the characters lose their original meaning and you are hardly to guess the characters by directly imagining the shape or appearance of that stuff. As a result, you may feel exhausted in learning Chinese through SC. So , I supporting learning TS in spite of its more complicated formation. I've a great passion for learning English and French too!!!! Hong Konger's comment

[@cyl7934]

我不这样认为，繁体字确实很具有代表性，但是现在的简体字是一代一代的演化出来的，事物总是需要进步的，照你的说法来讲直接学甲骨文会更能理解中文但事实并不是这样的，中国文化讲究意会，由繁到简并不是只是为了书写方便而改的，简 也有其艺术价值，同音或近音的使用从古至今都有使用叫“通假字”，这也是文化的一部分。英文26个字母也是经过很多次的进化才呈现现在的样子的，按照你的理解为了更好的理解英文难道需要从日耳曼语系学起吗？不是。

[@lookingaround3969]

ra saket Japanese pronounces "chinese characters" (aka Kanji) differently to Chinese. In the most basic terms, written japanese uses a combination of these Kanji AND two variants of alphabet - Hiragana, being the native alphabet, and Katakana, being a "translation" alphabet used for foreign words. I would highly suggest trying to find Japanese courses online. :D

[@wizbang68]

I believe the purpose is to allow communication. Speaking a language is not as helpful as speaking the language. If you were traveling being able to read street signs. She also said a lot of the language is contextual meaning that the way things are presented and understanding of culture is required to be able to communicate clearly. So she has given a basic starting place of how the language is structured. I have the distinct impression that without the context of how the characters are superimposed the ability to learn spoken Mandarin would be near impossible because the context of a characters use alters how the words are pronounced. So were learning the context.

Great way to start off! Very helpful! Note that as you get to harder words, this does not apply as much and some are a stretch. While some characters are like this, they are in the minority! :) By the way, if you are curious, more traditional characters look like what they represent than simplified. So take that into account when deciding which to learn Ex: turtle Traditional : 龜 Simplified : 龟 This is great though and is a great starting point!

It’s ok, but this is only for a start.

[@hahaha-us5pj]

Yep chinese is fun to learn. If u are using traditional chinese, the words are like drawings.

[@jeromethejerry2003]

When you actually study Chinese in school it's hell

[@babyrainydaily666]

I am actually learning Japanese but lots of the characters are the same which does help a lot! For example, the character for water is the same in Chinese as it is in Japanese however, I don’t know what the Chinese pronunciation is. I do know the Japanese pronunciation for water ( 水, み・ず, mi・zu. ) The character for tree is also the same in Japanese along with many others.

[@moonsun4570]

水（ Shuǐ）, in Chinese culture we have 金(gold) 木（wood） 水(water) 火(fire) 土(ground) as basic elements in the world

[@babyrainydaily666]

jingbo li Thanks! That’s really cool. I’m not that well versed in Japanese culture so I can’t really connect the two like that.

[@luminalcard8290]

Sup. So are all Kanji characters the same as Chinese characters?

[@babyrainydaily666]

Luminal Card Yes! They are the same because Japanese was originally based on Chinese. However, since the pronunciation and grammar was different which caused much confusion, they decided to add hiragana and katakana. I hope this answers your question!

[@TheSunshineRequiem]

interesting thing is that even some of the pronunciations are similar, for example the word 愛/love, AI for both Chinese and Japanese, sadly that doesn’t occur very often.

Wow... you have outdone yourself Shaolin....this is pure gold....

God bless you.You are a very good teacher.Bless your parents who gave you a good foundation.

[@JuanVanSteyvoort]

Fantastic job!... I couldn't read a single Chinese word, 10 minutes ago, and now, I can already read +/- 25 basic words... Thank you so much... And your method is so easy, so natural, and so funny... You made a really fantastic job, Miss... :-) From Brussels, with Love...

[@ChineasybyShaoLan]

This is absolutely incredible... I saw this demo on my Roku the other day and I was hooked. Would love to know a second language like this and she makes it very easy to understand.. Kudos to you girl!!

[@learnurduwithsara1068]

This video is by far the most creative langauge video I have seen.

[@nicajaira4555]

I love reading chinese novels and manhuas, I love listening to their songs, I watched some of their movies and variety shows... so now I am learning chinese language.

[@StephanieLuuGold]

The problem is the ping yin....This is a really good way to learn how to know the meaning but the pinyin is important too.

[@barbaralatham5107]

Stephanie Luu Why did they change pinyin? The old spelling was so much easier for English speakers. It's not difficult to remember how to pronounce "Zh" and "q"

[@barbaralatham5107]

I meant it IS difficult.

It seems easy only for the first characters. The majority are more abstract and complexe.

[@frogmanthelibertarian1482]

That's true :(

[@user-bv3yr4wr9u]

Most of them are composed with the ones she just showed. Just like 日 月 明，火 烧 烤...

[@CJ-rp2ps]

Yes, this video is a good start for ppl who never had contact with chinese, but after that we learn that chinese is hard af lol

[@wangqi1387]

Because it is explained with modern interest, it is naturally not coherent and logical. If you are interested in the evolution of Chinese, you should browse this video. It uses textual research based on the evolution of different periods to demonstrate, this is the correct study. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYmbhWipj82nna8
