This app is based on Reinaert Albrecht 's work.
This app is providing kanji/hanzi mnemonics for all characters that are used in Japanese and Chinese. Beginning students of the Chinese or Japanese language often struggle to remember the hundreds and thousands of different characters.
They don't receive much help from their teachers as most people simply have drummed everything in their head. The only thing that is told to the poor student is that most characters are made up of radicals. Having these 214 radicals at hand to remember a character, leaves the student mostly to his own devices when trying to remember the character. This site provides simple interlinked tales with each Chinese character.
An example will make things clearer. The character for horse 馬 seems to have nothing to do with a horse. One can look at it in the following ways:
it comes from the earlier version 馬
animal fast like a bird 隹 but without wings , it has four 灬 feet and a tail 丶 and is fast and raging like fire 灬
Now that we know this character we can easily understand others. Take the character for station 駅: it is a place where horse 馬 can rest their feet 尺. 尺 is the image of a person setting a foot in front of another. The character for mother 媽 is a woman 女 who acts fast like a horse 馬 when her child is in danger.
When thinking in this way, characters easily become fixed in memory. One sees 舶 (liner or big ship) as a sail 舟 that sees white 白 waves.
There is a structure in all of this and the tales will make each character a lively story inter-connected with other characters. It is not supposed to be an aggregation of dreadful strokes.
For now, this site is complete for Japanese Jouyou and JLPT. For Chinese HSK levels 1, 2 and 3 are complete.
This site is not necessarily following the true etymology of the characters. Sometimes this helps in remembering them, but many characters are a combination of a signific part, which gives meaning, and a phonetic part, which mostly has nothing to do with the meaning of the character. We tried to stick as close as possible to the original meaning of each character. The images we use have been mostly based on the work of Richard Sears in hanzi etymology with kind permission. Without Richard's wonderful work this site would have been a lot harder to make. If you want to know more about the real origin of the characters we also refer to Kanji Networks.
