This book is a comprehensive dictionary that scientifically and systematically explains the "origins (roots)" of commonly used kanji (general-use kanji). For each character, it introduces why it took its current form and how its meaning has expanded, along with abundant examples. Product Features: Visually Understand Kanji Transformations: For each kanji, the book presents the transitions of its script styles, such as oracle bone script, bronze script, small seal script, and clerical script. The history of character evolution is visible at a glance. Detailed Definition Explanations and Examples: Instead of simply listing meanings, the book provides in-depth explanations based on etymology, along with rich examples to support them. Second Edition (Revised and Enlarged): This is a more complete edition, with the content of the first edition further refined and expanded. A Companion for Learning and Research: This book is highly engaging for Chinese language learners, as well as those interested in calligraphy, seal engraving, or the beauty of kanji itself.
