Hello everyone! I thought this game would be a good way to have fun with Chinese characters.
Rules:
*
One entry per person per day
* Enter one Chinese character only (avoid pinyin, unless necessary)
The association of your character with the previous character must be clearly understood. If it is obscure or stretched, you can show how smart you are by giving a brief explanation.
Character association is typically made from Meaning or from Sound (homophone). A fantastic Chinese dictionary to assist can be found right here!>> [
www.chinese-tools.com ] Have fun!
Remember to
increase the character size of your entry to
extra-small/small to make viewing easier. I will start with...
永
