Hello everyone, I'm very happy to see you here with us on our program. Let's enjoy Chinese. Our program presents some of the good ways and approaches to learn Chinese

character

s. Have you been to China? Can you speak Chinese? I think maybe some of you can speak Chinese, but some of you may think: Oh, it's very difficult to write Chinese

character

s. Yes, at first when you write Chinese characters, it can be very difficult if you don't know how to approximate them and if you don't know the good ways to write them. but if you know the conventions and regulations for writing Chinese characters, then you will think: oh, it's not as difficult as you expected, okay, I'll let you see a picture, it's a picture of mountains, now look at this picture, you see the shape. and this and this and this and in English the mountain, but in Chinese, how do we do it now?

I'll write it for you. You can compare that first we have like this the mountain in the middle and then the mountain on the left side and this. Is the mountain on the right side? Well, here you can see the shape of the mountains and in Chinese we read it Shan Shan, it's mountain or hill and now there are only three

strokes

in the Shan script but there are eight letters in the Mountain script, another example. I will show you another image now it is the image of water now we see the water flowing and the word in English is water there are five letters in this word and how we write it in Chinese now let's write that now first we have this stroke shoot go and then the other stroke on the left side and then on the right side, you see here, it's like the main stream of water and the other water flows and now it's like from the way you can see, it's like water. flowing and in Chinese we read it Shoei shui now these are the two examples and you would like to join us in our program, let's enjoy the Chinese, we hope you will join us and after you join us you will find that you are not wasting your time being with us. you know that English words are composed of letters linearly, while Chinese characters are composed graphically of

strokes

and if you know the conventions and regulations on how to write Chinese characters, then you can write very good Chinese and you know that there are 26 letters in English. and there are only 29 strokes in Chinese characters, so we see that there are only three more letters than in English and after 29 strokes of Chinese characters, there are only six, which are the

basic

strokes, so you see, it is not that complicated as you expected. the other strokes are derived from these six the strokes are points and lines, it does not matter if they are vertical eyes or horizontal lines, it does not matter if they lean to the right or to the left and if we put them in the correct order according to the shape and then It will be a very good Chinese character and the character is called me hua in Chinese be one and we will start with be one to learn how to write Chinese characters.

Our program starts with Beha and in our program we will talk about the formation of Chinese characters and the characteristics of Chinese characters and we will also talk about some

basic

knowledge about Chinese characters. Our program starts with strokes. You know, the stroke is the fundamental element to form Chinese characters. Our program will introduce the formation of Chinese characters. way of writing, as well as some basic knowledge of Chinese characters, after being with us, you will discover that you can write very well in Chinese, you are good at writing in Chinese and you know that there is a proverb: a good start is only half finished, and if not a very good start and you maintain it after a period of time.

I'm sure you can write very good Chinese. Well, let's start our program, since now the stroke is the fundamental elements to form the Chinese characters. Today we will learn two strokes. The first stroke that we learn is and you see that it is a horizontal line and in Chinese we call it home hyung hyung. Next we will see how a hyung stroke works in the following characters. Now the first character you see is hanging and you might ask. that a hyung you are right is a hyung but at the same time it can be used as a character and this is e means a hyung e e and if we put another hyung and we put one more hump on top of this hyung it is - yes, in Chinese we call it our hyung hyung our our and then how about son?

Do you know how to write yes?, we add one more, one more hyung and we have three hyung and it is three cents hyung hyung hyung son son, we are four is made up of four houses, you can ask now if we do like this, then how do we write one hundred thousand? so, for its is made up of other strokes, we will talk later, now, next, we learn another stroke, the second stroke, we learn it today. look, it is a vertical line in Chinese, we read it shoo shoo shoo next we will learn some characters that contain this stroke shoo now look, there is hang and a shoe and you know that everyone has ten correct fingers and the Chinese like to do like this then.

What does it mean? You know and if you see a Chinese people do this, it means there are ten of them, yeah, we call it and you see this is like a cross and then we've hung up and shot, uh, sure, sure, the next character we learn. Now we see this well and then we add one more house at the bottom, it means earth or earth, uh, shoe, uh, and then how about we put this house on the top of the shoe. Okay, now let's change it so you can see. the hyung is now on the top and the shoe is in the middle of the two Hong are ten tickets job or worker hyung shoe eh, go to the next woman, another character, you see, there is also hyung Shoop and another house and this time this house is shorter and is on the right side of the shoe is Xiang means up or up shoe hyung hyung shun shun and you see these three characters in tool and shun in the three characters there are three strokes in the three characters they have two Hong and one shoe and you know if they have output in different places then different characters come out it is the same in English for example if we have three letters a II T if T is the first letter and then e a is T and if you put ei in the head and it ends in T, then it is eaten, so other Chinese characters different stroke positions can generate different cultures.

It is very important to make the positions of the strokes clear. Chinese characters have thousands of years of history as a writing tool. We can use pens, pencils or ballpoint pens and other instruments in China, traditional writing tools are different from those we use today. The Chinese use different types of writing tools for unnecessary things, almost necklaces, desk, they are PE, even more G, but it is brush for writing, ink stick, paper. and ink stone or ink slab are called treasures of study. Calligraphers in history left us many precious calligraphies. Treasures of study are people's favorite collections.

Nowadays, people use various writing tools for different uses. You know that Chinese characters are called square characters, it is necessary for beginners to practice writing the characters in this type of squares that we call that need a group to have a better understanding of the structures of Chinese characters and write a standard and characters harmonious and elegant okay, let's finish the day we hope you enjoy our program and we hope to see you next time bye hello everyone I'm glad to see you here with us again in our program let's enjoy Chinese today we will learn two more strokes and some characters that contain the strokes the first stroke that we learn is now you see this stroke it just starts from the top right and then falls to the left and it's our left down stroke and we call it here in Chinese pierre-pierre now that's the The first stroke and the second stroke What we learned today is now, you see, it's just in the opposite direction from the pier and it starts from the left and falls to the right.

It's nah-nah-nah nah, next we will learn some characters and look how these two strokes Pierre and do not work in the next characters these characters contain these two strokes Pierre and na now the first character that we learn you see this one here and then now you see that Gribble no Pierre and now it's ah it's a new mole it means eight and we've learned II our son's shirt and this is ah it means eight Pierre nah ah ah please pay attention to these two strokes and we must separate these two strokes don't put them together well , now the next character if we join the two strokes and it changed to another character now you see there are two strokes here and now and they join together and it is Len innings, people or person here na Yin Yin, remember to go, we learned last time, yeah, bring means work and you know, so it means people a person and if we put these two characters together it is: that means worker and this word beauty is like the construction of English and we know English we have worker and work and then we have the suffix ER which means the person who works and the Chinese school building is the same and we have gold now please protect me come then Tang yen the next character will learn is ah now you see what there is then and then we put it hanging so that means big or big or latch eh, Pierre na da oh, and since we learned to bathe we know when a man is the greatest in the world and then, above him, there is nothing in the sky, so if we put one more house on top, it is the sky of Tiye innings. hyung hyung peer nah can kid and I stopped here means Barry and for example we have learned E and R and we can say if it is a day in Chinese we can say II kN if there are three days can we feel sentian now please reducta I eat here, like Here, son, tear the sentian tape.

Now the next character we learn is No and you see this shoe hanging, it's ten, right, we've learned it and if we add peer to the left side and now to the right side it's mu, it means. well in ancient China it means trees eh sure Pierre nah moo moo the last character we learn is ban you see it looks more like the right and here's one more hanging on this shoe that means the stem or the root of a tree or basic. or original or even capital letter, eh, sure, mate, no, eh, and the Chinese character is the illumination system of the Chinese language.

Some of the geometric lines were found on pottery made about 5000 years ago and people believed these were the first Chinese characters about 100 years ago. Years ago, people found characters carved on turtle shells and ox bones and for this reason these characters are called jag, a shell bone script. These characters appeared more than 3,000 years ago during the last Shang dynasty. Another character style is the kinguin bronze inscription. This is the character drawn on the eyebrows. where they were most commonly melted into bells and cauldrons and bronze inscriptions, for this reason it was also called drunk. The bell bronze writing at that time Jacqueline and by joining developed mature writing styles and fell into the pattern, the Chinese characters we use today have evolved and developed for thousands of years, well, I tell the evolutionary story of some characters we have learned then and you see, this is the original character, Len, he is like a broken man, you can see the head, arms and legs, you can see that he gradually developed to The shape we use today You see, this is a mountain in Chinese Shan.

You can recognize the shape of the mountain in the image on the right, just three strokes. Shan appears before you. Shan's form hasn't changed much since she was created. There is no reference to trees in Ancient China look some strokes refer to the stems and some refer to the branches, it is only these lines and images that indicate the meaning of things and this is the only way to create characters by Chinese ancestors, that's why we name them pictographs of these characters, they have thousands. of years of history ok, a lot for today we hope you enjoy our program and we hope to see you next time goodbye hello everyone welcome back to our program let's enjoy Chinese now we are going to learn two strokes and some characters that these two strokes contain the first stroke okay okay okay the ending next let's see how the D stroke works in the following characters you will see Han Xu if we put the ending on the right side it is Shou means to go down or down or under the shoe hanging at the end yes yes remember Shawn yes shunk means to go up and to shit is to download now this character do you remember this character ah right ah if we put yes in this place it is time for it to mean extremely or very hanging here no, dear, hello normally if we describe something? very big we use Kaiba, for example, we say that the sky is very big, we can say P and Taita T and tie the next character that we learn, eh, after that we have to do it and then we put it here, I'm hmm, I, I'm Jade hyung. hyung shoe home dad mmm now we put you on top eh and this place here is still Leo means six Luo Tian hung Pierre DN leo nil now the next day art here and then it's another character Yong Yong means sheep or goat Dan here hyung hyung hyung shrew Yong Yong then PA represents the horns of the boat or goat and the shoe represents the tail young young now the next roller the other stroke demand go demand go is up left hook shoe go shoe go shoe go now let's see how the shoe works in the following characters one shoe we put on the left side another DN on the right side is Shou innings small or small Xiao Shu go Dan Tian Xiao Xiao generally people describe something very small, you can say tôi có for example they say that sheep are too smallyou can say jung-tae Shao Yong Chi sau you see shoe hanging wow if we put the N and the center is 1 1 is a measurement word to measure length it is equivalent to three point three centimeters for a shoe hanging all the way it is one foot when you learn Chinese For the first time, you may feel confused by complicated writings, you may not know how to put them together, but actually Chinese characters follow some regulations and conventions.

Here I will tell you some strokes. relationships of Chinese characters Chinese characters are composed of various forms of stroke combinations, for example are and behind there are two strokes in both characters and the two strokes are separated in this wayThe combination is called separated combination in the yen character. As you see, the strokes are connected. This type of join is called a connection join. The strokes of a character intersect and this type of combination is called a cost combination. Of course, Chinese characters are not composed of a single combination. Most Chinese characters are made up of several combinations, for example, to the upper house and to the shoe through and it is a cross combination, the lower house connects to that cross, it is a connecting combination.

You also see in this character that there are two combinations, so it is not like that. just one combination to form a character it is very useful to have some knowledge of the regulations and conventions of Chinese characters and that will help you to write the Chinese characters in the correct way we hope you enjoy the program and we hope to see you next time Bye bye hello to everyone, welcome back to our program, let's enjoy Chinese today, we are going to learn two more strokes and some characters that contain these strokes and the first stroke that we learned today is homejoy, now we see, uh, and then we will reject home, Joe, next learn that some characters contain this stroke hanging Joe and these characters contain the stroke hanging Joe now we see this character and there are three strokes in this character shoe from house to house and it is co co i means mouth hungry for shoe eh cow cow next character that you see one more hanging in the middle and here his shoe hyung hyung hyung is you, it means day or Sam hunger for shoes hyung hyung, now the next character we learn, you see there is also a call and we put a shoe on the cow, it is Chung Chung , that means center or middle shoe come to hyung Xu Zhuo troll now the next character we learn is war now first we put a very big cow and remember Yui we learn last time look e if we put e inside flame is war The country or state of Ami Show hyung hyung that it's a cool war at home.

The ancient Chinese thought that China was surrounded by other nations and was in a center, so they called their country garbage war. Now the next character we learn is mu. numeral that we have learned e are sent and this is mu means five uh Shu hyung Joon hyung woo woo now the next hit we learn this hanging to go home to cut, that is, first we have hung half and then we turn down and a hook up to left Hangzhou go home to go next we will learn some characters that contain a stroke these characters contain this stroke hanging to go now the first character the first character is me it means moon or mass yes hunger for companions come on hyung hyung yes yes yes yes yes yes yes Next, we will learn another character.

First we put weight there, shoot and go home. What do you think it is? It looks like a door. You see, honey, it's like the lock and they're men. DN, sure, Hangzhou, go, man. men, the last character we learn is regular means book hunger, Hunter, it happens by itself, it's true, next we will learn another way of creating characters that we know as pictography in a second unit that only through pictography could not express much. The ancient Chinese looked for other ways. to express some concepts and these concepts cannot be expressed by images, for example, this is a knife, it is the pictography, but how to indicate the blade of life, the ancients established a good way to put it on this side for me.

The side is the sword, the counterattack results from this. The way of forming a character using symbols to indicate meaning is called indication. One more example Shah, yes you know hyung hyung culture is the horizon, if the direction is up then shoe and DM it is. added to the positive side it means up or up and if it's shy then shoe and then I put under hyung that means down or down this way we can express some complicated concepts and convert abstract concepts into concrete concepts, well let's call it a day we hope you enjoy the program and we hope to see you next time, goodbye
