Excerpt from Two Years Course of Study in the Chinese Language, Vol. 1 of 4
The publication of this book is in no sense a reflection on the several good books now in use. The author, in his own study of the Chinese language, felt the need of a book containing short lessons, each of which could be easily and thoroughly learned in a day, thus emphasizing both system and thoroughness.
Missionaries in the first few years learn from five hundred to one thousand characters so that they easily recognize them in the Bible, or in some familiar context; but would not be able to recognize many of them alone, or in unfamiliar places, because they do not know the component parts. No character is thoroughly known until its component parts are known. Yon do not know an English word until you can spell it. The older missionaries will find this method helpful in making their knowledge of the language more thorough and accurate, and it is hoped that many of them will make use of this book.
The Union Language School at Shanghai showed a marked tendency on the part of missionaries to learn to write as well as to read the Chinese; and the analytical study of the character was quite popular, both with beginners, and with those who had studied the language for several years.
The Plan of the Book
Kang Hsi's Dictionary contains about forty thousand characters. Gile's large Dictionary contains ten thousand eight hundred and fifty nine separate characters. Five or six thousand characters are sufficient for printing a daily newspaper. The thorough knowledge of two thousand well selected characters will enable one to read intelligently almost any Chinese production with an occasional reference to the dictionary. It is better to know well a limited number than to half know a much larger number.
This system contains two thousand selected characters, divided into four parts of five hundred each, with a view to making four volumes of one hundred lessons each.
This first volume contains the most common, with the preference given to action words. The second volume is intended to be a natural continuation of the first. The third is to he based on the New Testament, and the fourth is to be a sort of key to the different kinds of Wen-li.
The First Volume
Each lesson, with a few exceptions, contains five characters, which arc analyzed into their component parts, when possible into complete characters. Some characters have to be analyzed down to their strokes, and for that reason the Stroke Alphabet has been introduced to make it possible to spell out all the characters. It is a significant fact that a large majority of the component parts are radicals, or combinations of radicals. This strongly emphasizes the importance of learning the radicals. While this volume claims to have five hundred characters, it really has about eight hundred including radicals and other component parts.
