Summary:
"As well as its obvious visual appeal, China’s millennia-old

characters with the help of eye-catching illustrations that bring their meanings alive, and historic tracings through seal script all the way back to ancient oracle bone carvings. For novices and experts alike, this translation by Julie Loo offers
English
readers a compelling insight into the world of written
Chinese
