These are the basic “LEGO” bricks that she drew, each character or component is turned into an image that relates to its meaning: Click on a “brick”, and several more complicated characters based on the “brick” appear: Take the ‘sun’ character 日 for example. The character for ‘dawn’ could be interpreted as the sun 日 rising above the horizon. The character 晶 can be memorized as 3 suns shimmering. Aside from these “LEGO blocks”, Shao Lan also draws an illustrated short story made up with these characters. For the many people who learn or memorize better via visual imagery, this method would be a good approach. Instead of writing a single character repeatedly in order to memorize it, one could jot down the character in a notebook, and think of ways to turn it into a pictorial character so that the memorization process becomes fun and enjoyable. Let us know if you are willing to give it a try and how it works out! Above information is obtained from http://www.theworldofchinese.com/2013/05/pictorial-chinese-characters/ |
