Introduction
Thisthe second of two volumes designed to help students

is
with the meaning and writing of the 3,000 most frequently used traditional
Chinese characters. A parallel set of volumes has been prepared for simplified
characters. Although there is considerable overlap in the selection and arrange-
ment of the characters, as well as in the mnemonic devices employed, you
are advised to stick with one set of books or the other. As we explained in the
Introduction to Book 1, combining your learning of traditional and simplified
characters is likely to slow down progress and create confusion. That Introduc-
tion also provides further details about the approach followed in these books
and the rationale behind it.
HOW TO USE THIS BOOK

From the start, our working assumption was that Book 1 and
Book 2 would be studied sequentially. Each book would introduce half of the
most important 3,000 characters in the Chinese language. The idea was that
since the 1,000 most frequently used characters were to be introduced in Book 1,
learners would complete that volume before passing on to the second. Many, if
not most, students will find this preferable.
However, as we weighed the options for organizing the remaining 1,500
characters for Book 2, we realized that others may prefer the more exacting, but
also more rationally satisfying, approach of studying the two volumes simulta-
neously. We have adjusted the Introduction to Book 1 to clarify the reasons why
this is so, but a word of explanation is in order here.
As each new primitive was presented in Book 1, most of the characters
(among the 1,500 selected for the first volume) that could be learned at that
point were introduced. The lessons of Book 2 have been designed as extensions
of that principle. Thus, nearly all of the 1,500 characters of Book 2 are placed in
the lessons in which they would have appeared if we had combined everything
into a single volume. This means that students who wish to do so can treat the
corresponding lessons of Books 1 and 2 as single units.
Having said this, we hasten to add a note of caution: Book 1 was designed to
progress from complete stories to short plots to the simple listing of a charac-
ters primitive elements. In this way, the student gradually gains independence
1
2 INTRODUCTION
from the imagination of the authors and develops a knack for creating stories
based on personal memories and learning preferences. Book 2 disregards this
progression. Even in the early pages, one will find mere plots and listings of ele-
ments where the lessons of Book would have given more information. Occa-
1
sionally we supply a connotation of a key word or to

fuller story to clarify the
help with a particularly

challenging character or sometimes simply because
we cannot resist the temptation. But these are the exception.
Accordingly, if you wish to study the books simultaneously, you may want
to get several lessons intoBook 1 before you crack Book 2, and then return to
those lessons to pick up the new characters.
COMPOUNDS, POSTSCRIPTS, INDEXES
The 55 lessons of this book are followed by a short special section

with compounds or characters that are best learned in pairs. A final section
contains two postscripts thatwe strongly urge you not to skip over.
The Indexes of Book 2 differ slightly from those of Book 1. Index 1 gives
a hand-drawn character and its pronunciation for each frame in Book 2. The
other four Indexes are comprehensive. That is, they cover the relevant informa-
tion from both volumes. This will make it easier for you to navigate all 3,000
characters without the need to consult the Indexes from Book 1.
It bears repeating that the pronunciations given in the Indexes are given as
an aid should you need to consult a dictionary. Nothing further is said about
them in these volumes, and no examples of their use are provided. As we rec-
ommended in the Introduction to Book 1, it is best to study the writing and
meaning of the characters separately from their pronunciation.
ON CHARACTERS AND THEIR KEY WORDS
Finding unique English key words for 3,000 different Chinese

characters was challenging in the extreme. Often there is more than one ordi-
nary character in Chinese corresponding to a single word in English. At times
this left us no choice but to stretch the limits of standard English ever so slightly,
employing common phrases or even neologisms in order to avoid the duplica-
tion of key words. In any case, if you follow the guidance given along the way
about preserving a distinct connotation for each key word and heeding its part
of speech, these hurdles will be easy to hop over.
Although we do not draw attention to the fact in each case, a relatively small
number of the characters presented in the lessons are bound forms. That is,
much like the compounds that are given their own section, these charac-
ters are always used in combination with others. The Chinese equivalents of
INTRODUCTION | 3
trumpet, glaze, and universe, for example, are usually considered to be

two-character compounds. Nevertheless, our policy has been to assign each
individual character its own key word on the assumption that when the time
comes for students to learn compounds, they will find it a straightforward task.
Take trumpet, for instance: the character with that key word (frame 1501) is
often paired in a compound with that for flared horn (2584) to designate what
English simply calls a trumpet.
Remember, too, that while some key words carry clear and discrete conno-
tations, others can only approximate the range of meanings and nuances cov-
ered by a character. A broader awareness of what individual characters convey
can only be acquired by encountering them in context over time.
A final note of caution: We urge you to avoid dismissing certain characters
as not being very useful simply because their key words are not ones you run
into very often. Lambsquarters and water caltrops are not part of everyday
English vocabulary, and never appear in personal or family names. Things are
different in the world of the characters. It is safe to assume that if a character
appears in these books, you will need it to gain proficiency in Chinese.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
The authors would like to reiterate their thanks to Robert Roche
for his insight, encouragement, and generous assistance over the long years this
project has been in the works. The staff and fellows of the Nanzan Institute for
Religion and Culture in Nagoya, Japan, made our task a lot easier and provided
just the right atmosphere for collaboration. Thanks, too, to Brigham Young
University-Hawaii for its support of the project. Tsu-Pin Huang, Yifen Beus,
and Pao-Ho Wan assisted us with their expertise on numerous occasions. Pat
Crosby, Keith Leber, and Nadine Little of University of Hawai'i Press deserve
mention for patiently seeing this book through its editing and production. A
special word of appreciation is due Helen Richardson and the Richardson chil-
dren. Without their willingness to make do without a husband and father for
weeks at a time, concentrated periods of work in Japan over the past several
yearswould not have been possible.
we wish to acknowledge the many readers who have sent us their

comments, reactions, and suggestions since the appearance of Book 1. Their
feedback has not only made for important improvements; it has confirmed our
confidence that we are on the right track.

Lessons
Lesson i
As explained in the Introduction, the lessons of Book 2 are

organized according to the characters and primitives introduced in their cor-
responding lesson in Book 1. With that, we start Book 2 off with a blast:
1501 trumpet (N)

n/\ Since the character eight depicts an open expanse that begins in
the heavens and covers the earth, it is just right for the character
that shows the Angel Gabriel pressing his mouth against the
trumpet to announce the end of time or in this case, the end
of Lesson 1. [5]

Lesson 2
There is only one new character we can make with the elements
from Lesson 2 of Book 1.

Lesson 2 of Book and we have the mouth on the left, we need

Lesson 5
You will notice that in most cases only the primitive elements
are given below, without any detailed story or story plot. Book 1 progresses
from full stories to simple plots to component elements. The idea is to gradually
turn more and more of the creative work over to the learner. If you feel you are
not quite ready to venture off on your own at this point but still want to study
the two books together, you might hold off on the lessons of Book 2 until later,
when you are more comfortable with inventing your own images and stories.

really comes from a Russian princess, Anna Pavlovna.) [10]

fallen as it one day must. Look at its color vermilion. (Well,
not really. The truth is, vermilion is made from a mercuric sul-

1571 dude
We already met a character to which we assigned the key word
male (frame 691), but there are certain animals that use a
different character for gender identification of the masculine
variety. Animals like the dude deer (also known as the stag),
the dude horse (alias, the stallion) and the dude cow (a.k.a, the
bull) use it. It is composed of the primitive elements cow and
soil. [7]

1573 succor
An Oxford don is drowning in the local swimming pool and
calls out Succor! Succor! After consulting their dictionaries,
the lifeguards proceed to save the poor chap. Now instead of
the typical lifesaver you find at poolside, they grab a giant oyster
they have trained to swim out, grab hold of drowning swim-
mers, and drag them back to safety. When you launch it into
the deep, you throw it like a discus and shout, Before! Before!
to warn people to get out of the way, obviously a courtesy inher-

ited from the golf course. [19]
When used as a primitive element, this character will mean

a lifesaver, in line with the explanation above.

BI When a king is thriving, the sun should be shining on his king-

dom, but more often than not, it is just shining on him. As leg-
ends around the world remind us, what invariably happens to

kings thriving at the expense of others is that they get consumed
by their own selfishness or, in the case of this character, sun-
burned to a crisp until they decide that their subjects should be
thriving, too. [8]

the other way around. [11]

Lesson 14
As we do frequently in Book 1, from this point on we will occa-

sionally assign new primitive meanings to characters you have already learned
with a different key-word meaning. In many cases, some of the characters in
which this new meaning is used will not appear until a later lesson. Each new
primitive meaning will get its own frame, marked with the usual symbol ().
The number in curly brackets refers to the frame number of the original char-
acter. We will introduce one such example in this lesson.

You will need to take a moment with this unfamiliar shape. The
water on the left is clear. Next draw the sun. Finally, draw a bro-
ken halberd a mere stick without the blade at the top (the final
,
stroke of halberd), noting how the third stroke of sun and the
first of halberd double up.
The character is not as difficult to remember as it might look
at first sight. Imagine someone with a musket that shoots hal-
berds instead of bullets a cross between a bazooka and a har-
poon thrower. Suffering from dehydration our musketeer turns
angry at the gods and, as the ancient Gauls did when they lost a
battle and shot arrows at the sky to complain, discharges a bar-
rage of halberds at the sun while crying out, Water, waterl [9]

dash of salt to taste. Boil in a hogshead cask for four hours or
until the hay is completely dissolved. Take this clam- helper

every suggestion of the boss with the exclamation, Splendid!
without every venturing an opinion of his own. In this case, the
boss has him roast a snakeskin belt and shoes over a cookingfire
and eat them for supper. Splendid! the poor fellow exclaims
as he takes his first bite.

give it here to reinforce it all the same. [14]

holding brushes in his mouth, hands, and feet. You do him one
better by having your fingers fitted out with ten small brooms.
Dip them in ink and watch as they move across the paper all at
once with lightning speed, each leaving behind a distinct shape.
At first it looks like no more than a smudgy trail offootprints,
but if you look closely, you will see that they are Chinese char-
acters arranged into a classical poem. Now that is much more
nimble than Jack and his candlestick! [11]

This character is not as unfamiliar as it looks at first. After the

of parade. Then comes the feudal official, and finally the rest of
parade.
This parade of feudal officials are all running at top speed,
bunk beds in hand, toward the beach, en route to the annual
surfboarding competition. The sport was short-lived because
!
of the high morality rate among the athletes. Only several cen-
turies later did the Hawaiians rescue the art of surfboarding
by replacing the box springs, mattress, and bedstead with a flat
plank. [14]

2194 abyss
The only thing you have to watch out for with this character is
the drawing order of the complex of elements to the right. To

begin with, ignore the elements for and bunk beds learned slice
earlier. Now think of the single horizontal stroke that is drawn
in order as you work your way down top to bottom as a tight-

rope that is stretched across a great abyss. The water to the left
represents the dribble of a stream flowing at the bottom of the
abyss, all that is left of the mighty waters that originally carved
it out. [12]

Like the character in frame 842, this one can be used in con-

something for the sake of something else of higher value. Its
elements: cow . . . sheep . . . wild rice . . . snare . .

care in drawing the second stroke of the primitive for wild rice.
It is stretched out to double up as the first stroke offiesta. [20]
222 7 elder sister
m To complement the older brother (frame 89) and elder brother

(101), we need an older sister (1298) and now an elder sister.
The combination of elements to the right of woman is a rare

combination, and for that reason special attention should
be given to its drawing. The first two strokes on the right are
somewhat like a snare except that the first stroke is drawn
right to left, like drag. So think of it as a snare you are drag-

what are actually the last two strokes of a genie, who has been
caught in the snare and is wiggling to get free. What all this
has to do with your elder sister we leave to you to decide. [7]

radically abbreviated from this, its full form as a character, the
story it holds is a charming one. The silkworm ( insect) eats the
leaves of the mulberry bush (the flowers), digests them and
transforms them into thread with which it spins about itself, in
mystic wisdom, its own coffin (the hood). The walking stick that
separates the two elements helps the picture of the little worm
cutting itself off from contact with the outside world, but as a
character stroke, it is a clear exception. [19]

You might think here of the homing pigeon

dry land. The first time, it returned. After seven days, Noah
released the dove again,and this time it came back with an olive
branch in its beak. On the third and final flight, it did not return
and Noah knew that it had found land.

had to do with it, these are matters better left to your imagina-

2406 quarrel
This is not one of the more elegant Chinese characters. It is
almost as if the primitive elements were members of a commit-

tee having a quarrel among themselves for the place of domi-
nance and each insisting on its right to show up. At the top we
have the zipper with a hood containing a one and a spike (driven
into the element beneath it). Next comes a crown that covers
the whiskey bottle and the primitive for part. By this time, you
should have all the tools necessary to create an outlandish story
to be sure that all the members of the committee are each set in
the proper place. [25]

2412 (rhetorical question)
This character has no particular meaning on its own but is used

to form rhetorical questions. The primitive elements, mountain
and beans, suggest that compared to real questions with real
answers, rhetorical questions dont amount to a hill of beans
let alone a mountain of them. If you turn to frame 1170 of Book
1, you will see that we hinted at something similar there. [10]
LESSON 37 |

The bottom half of the character is clearly the character for see.
The top half is the problem. At first glance, it looks very much
like the character for supervise learned in frame 1080. The
only difference is the substitution of a net in place of the dish. If
that seems too much bother, then just work with the elements:
underling. . . reclining. . . drop of. . . net. [21].
Used as a primitive element, this character will take the

more concrete meaning of a magnifying glass. You might try
working that into your story for the character itself.

This primitive represents a leopard by combining the claw with
the first part of the element for a sow. Note how the final stroke
of claw is turned and lengthened to double up with the first
stroke of sow.

To administer something means to be in control of it. The dif-

ficulties begin when one is trying to administer more than one
thing at the same time. For example, if you are doing your busi-
ness on a cellphone while driving your car you are sure to end
up doing harm to both tasks. [17]

The easiest way to remember the writing of this character is to
associate it with the character for splendor (frame 1181). Instead
of beginning with flowers, draw a sun. Then, when you come to
the final vertical stroke, run it all the way through the character,

1% As we have already learned characters for poem (frame 327)

and song (frame 441), it is important to protect this key word
with an image all its own. Its elements are the same as those in
frame 1187; only the position has changed: mouth clock. [7] . . .

as he plucks the petals off a sunflower. She loves me, she loves
me not. She loves me. . .

Little does he notice the water gather-
ing at his feet as he stumbles and falls into a deep pool.
Be careful to keep the right side of this character distinct from
the character for ticket (frame 1194). [15]
2542 resituate
The key word has to do with changing the location of some-

thing or other. Be careful not to confuse with the character for
relocate (frame The elements you have
1354). to work with are:

of that color. [10]

salt shaker
Usually one puts a few grains of rice into a salt shaker to keep
the ingredients from clogging up in humid weather. Here we
have an entire sheaf of grain pent in to the glass salt shaker. The
magic wand at the top is there for one special purpose: when
you pull it off and tap on the salt shaker, the lid pops off and the
contents change to Epsom salts. [11]

A tin can that has been dropped and crushed in the woods starts
us off on the character for depressed. Someone sitting on the
ground next to it has good reason to be as depressed as the
tin can. He has a rooster tail and is wearing a crown filled with
Epsom salts. We leave it to your fairy-tale imagination to figure
out how this all came to be. [20]

starting on a diet. His mouth

bound up with wire leaving onlyis
enough space for a Hutt-sized straw, which would be just large

enough for a small bunny rabbit to pass through. Watch Jabba
as he picks up the rabbits one by one, compares them with the
width of the straw, and if they fit, sucks them in. [25]

cauldron
J=J This is going to be a rather unusual cauldron. Beginning from
Pr3
the bottom of the primitive, we see a sturdy spike driven into
the ground (and hence hiding the hook at the end) to serve
as a stand for the cauldron to rest on. Above is a pair of animal
legs that are attached to the bottom of the vessel as two of its
legs. The whole thing sits under a large glass cover that func-
tions as a steamer lid. Oh, yes, and that one mouth refers to the
tiny little opening at the top for letting the steam escape like
you might imagine in an ancient pressure cooker.
Note that in the hand-drawn form, the human legs are in fact
drawn as animal legs, as we indicated in the little story above.
This is not the first time we have met with this anomaly. [10]

2906 raised path between fields

at One way to keep your land marked off from your neighbors
is to build a raised path between fields that serves as a kind
of natural fence. Another way, is to have a dragon sit on the
border. Good fences make good neighbors, as Robert Frost
observed, but fearsome dragons probably make for even better
neighbors. (This character appears frequently in terms related
to monopolizing, which suggests an altogether different role for
the dragon .) [19]

2962 pharmaceutical (N.)

When you think of the key word pharmaceutical, you think of
chemical compounds used as medicines (though the key word
is broader in scope). Now in China, as in the West, one of the
oldest principles behind the mixtures was homeopathic, that
is, the idea that the medication should be similar to the mal-
ady. This includes medicines in all forms and chemical agents
and mixtures of many kinds a kind of mirror image. All you
need do is imagine the pharmacist cutting up his herbs with
a long shining saber and you have the complete picture for a
pharmaceutical. [16]

Postscripts
Postscript i
If you have made your way successfully through all 3,000 char-
acters covered in the foregoing lessons, you have every right to heave a great
sigh of relief. But before you get too comfortable, there are a couple of Post-
scripts we would like to add.
First of all, in compiling a list of characters for these books, the primary
criterion was frequency of use. At the same time, other considerations per-
suaded us to allow a small number of characters to slip in that fell just shy of
our frequency criteria. Some of them helped reinforce the learning of impor-
tant primitive elements. Others helped clarify the special method of ordering
followed in these pages. Still others were just so simple to learn that we could
not making an exception of them.
resist
In the process, another group of characters that by virtue of frequency

belonged in the lessons had to be set aside. There are 35 of them in all, and we
have gathered them together for you here. Of these, 20 are used as surnames,
some of them very common, and another 10 appear in various kinds of proper
names.
We recommend that you think of the following pages as a first real-world
challenge to the skills you have picked up in the course of these two books.
Once you have passed this test, a second Postscript awaits you for a final touch.
We begin with the 20 surnames. In three cases, the romanization of the name
is identical to a key word that appears in an earlier lesson but with a different
character. These are marked with a -2.

Postscript 2
To end on a suitably serious note, we have included a special

character that does not show up among the nearly 50,000 characters covered in
the largest modern dictionaries of the Chinese language. The character, which
is reduplicated to refer to a type of noodles famous in Shaanxi Province, is said
to be the most complex Chinese character around today and has become the
stuff of legend. There is even a mnemonic ditty about its drawing order.
And so here it is, a story to end all stories:
d words
.
a . hole
c. cocoon #1 e cocoon #2
.
b. flesh
1. saber
f long braid #1
. h
h . long braid #2
Perhaps you have heard of the celebrated Chinese singer and

songwriter Flank Chinatra, known throughout the land for
such timeless hits as Hong Kong, Hong Kong, Strangers in
Shanghai (in the local dialect, Strangers in the Nai), and
Mai Wei.
248 |
Now the story is told of a strange dream Flank had one night
that led to the composition of one of his most famous ballads.
Chinatra recalls in his memoirs that he dreamed he was travel-
ing a back road that led to the city of Guangzhou astride his
magnificent horse, Biang, who trotted proudly, its tail woven
intotwo long braids fluttering in the breeze. Suddenly and with-
out warning his mount collapsed and died. Days passed without
anyone appearing on the deserted road, and Flank grew weak
and disoriented.
On the verge of starvation, and in an act of desperation, he
unsheathed his trusty saber, cut a hole in the flesh of the horse,
and took out the heart to eat. Leaning against the carcass, he
began to croon a dirge for the poor departed beast. The words of
the song carried to two cocoons nearby, inspiring the beautiful
butterflies inside to break out and take flight. Thinking it a good
omen, Flank cried out in his sleep: Fly me to Guangzhou! He

awoke in a cold sweat and immediately put the words to paper,
forever immortalizing his legendary horse Biang.
Dont be surprised if you hear noodle vendors whistling the
tune as they slap their Biang Biang noodles into shape. [57]
