Structure

Each character comes with its pinyin, English meaning and four small structure pictures. The pictures show structures (结构) such as left and right, top and bottom, single component and enclosed. Each picture has its short Chinese name below it, such as 左右, 上下 or 独体字. Circle the picture that matches the character.

Radical

Write each character’s radical (部首) in the square. Use the form shown in the character. For 江, write 氵 rather than 水. Characters that are their own radical are left out of this part.

Parts

Split each character once (拆字) into two or three parts. Write one part in each square. For example, 好 splits into 女 and 子.

Answer key

The answer key has its own pages. It gives each structure’s name in Chinese and English. It lists each radical with its English meaning. It also shows the parts.

Where the answers come from

Answers come from the same character data as the structure pages and radical pages. Characters with no questions are left out. The status message lists them.
