Description

Tsze Tëèn Piào Mūh is a textbook used by westerners to learn Chinese characters radicals in the early 20th century. Many westerners have come to China extensively since the arrival of missionary Robert Morrison (1782-1834) in Guangzhou. To read Chinese classics and communicate with the Chinese people, learning Chinese characters became their essential task. Then, when they learn Chinese characters, they first learn about the head of the department. Therefore, Westerners attach great importance to the radical system. That’s when the book was written. The author Thomas Jenner uses the scientific associative mnemonics, and 214 radicals correspond to English keywords. These English keywords are related to voice and meaning and are written in a sentence. In addition, this book includes the written of Japanese Kana, dynasties, king’s names, and places of both China and Japan. It made a great contribution to Chinese linguists at that time and had a certain value in academic study and research.
