Synopsis

This book reveals the meaning of Chinese characters by means of their ancestral forms. The reader will discover that it takes little effort and imagination to understand the most common and widely used characters. Ping-gam Go provides a full-color photo survey of San Francisco's chinatown and a dictionary of 288 Chinese characters.
