Kangxi Radical
The ''Kangxi'' radicals (), also known as ''Zihui'' radicals, are a set of 214 Chinese character radicals, radicals that were collated in the 18th-century ''Kangxi Dictionary'' to aid categorization of Chinese characters. They are primarily sorted by stroke (CJK character), stroke count. They are the most popular system of radicals for dictionaries that order characters by radical and stroke count. They are encoded in Unicode alongside other CJK characters, under the List of radicals in Unicode, block "Kangxi radicals", while graphical variants are included in the block "CJK Radicals Supplement". Originally introduced in the ''Zihui'' dictionary of 1615, they are more commonly referred to in relation to the 1716 ''Kangxi Dictionary''—''Kangxi'' being the commissioning emperor's Chinese era name, era name.

Radical (Chinese Characters)
A radical (), or indexing component, is a visually prominent Chinese character components, component of a Chinese character under which the character is traditionally listed in a Chinese dictionary. The radical for a character is typically a semantic component, but it can also be another structural component or an artificially extracted portion of the character. In some cases, the original semantic or phonological connection has become obscure, owing to changes in the meaning or pronunciation of the character over time. The use of the English term ''radical'' is based on an analogy between the structure of Chinese characters and the inflection of words in European languages. Radicals are also sometimes called ''classifiers'', but this name is more commonly applied to the grammatical Chinese classifier, measure words in Chinese. History In the earliest Chinese dictionaries, such as the ''Erya'' (3rd centuryBC), characters were grouped together in broad semantic categories. Be ...

Large Seal Script
The term large seal script traditionally refers to written Chinese dating from before the Qin dynasty—now used either narrowly to the writing of the Western and early Eastern Zhou dynasty (403 BCE), or more broadly to also include the oracle bone script (). The term deliberately contrasts the small seal script, the official script standardized throughout China during the Qin dynasty, often called merely 'seal script'. Due to the term's lack of precision, scholars often prefer more specific references regarding the provenance of whichever written samples are being discussed. During the Han dynasty (202 BCE220 CE), when clerical script became the popular form of writing, the small seal script was relegated to limited, formal usage, such as on signet seals and for the titles of stelae (inscribed stone memorial tablets which were popular at the time), and as such the earlier Qin dynasty script began to be referred to as 'seal script'. At that time, there remai ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
