Fascinating Chinese Characters

We are very happy to have this new section added to the site as it has been requested by many users. The Fascinating Chinese Characters section features the most-often-used 3500 Chinese characters with their meanings and pronunciations. The characters are in GIF format so you may click on a Chinese character using the Right Key of your Mouse to download the character. We will add related characters, words and idioms in the near future. New characters will be added here on a daily basis if possible so come back often to learn more about them.

Place your mouse cursor over the red speaker to listen to the pronunciation (this may only work with IE). You can also use the link there to hear the pronunciation.

Before you proceed to the Chinese Character Index below, please read the Basics About Chinese Characters first.
