Synopsis

"Chinese characters, the world's only ideogram, condense the ancients' understanding of themselves and the world, and become the typical "living fossil" with rich sense connotation and full charm for the Chinese national culture. This book arranges the common Chinese characters into the logic of humans and nature, humans and themselves, and humans and society. By illustrating the origin and evolution of Chinese characters, the relevant Chinese cultural knowledge is merged to excavate the humanist meaning as a guidance of people's life nowadays. This book compiled by Liu Yeling and Duan Qingfeng stems from a Chinese culture course with the same title for the Elementary School Affiliated to Renmin University. The author also creates a Wechat group "Chinese Culture in Chinese Characters" to illustrate one character each week. The course is very popular among the students and parents, as one parent comments that "Mr. Liu is good at using real examples to vividly and sharply interpret one and another seemingly simple Chinese character. This teacher would combine the interpretation with many stories at home and abroad and pictures to tell the traditional cultural essence behind the Chinese characters. "
