Xu Jinxiong(許進雄)’s Chinese Characters: Embracing Original Signification Series (字字由來頭, vol.1-7), was translated into Korean by the Humanities Korea Plus Hanja Civilization Research Center (HKPHCRC) in 2021. HKPHCRC has also published the Advanced Dictionary of Oracle Bone Script. Chinese characters reveal their original significations because they are a logographic writing. As a result, all Chinese characters connote their origins. Though the shape of Chinese characters has changed somewhat since the oracle bone script of 3300 years ago, when closely examined, their original significations can be recognized. In turn, we can grasp the developments of history and culture embedded in them. So, mastering Chinese characters does not mean just learning their superficial meaning but also learning their cultural history. They need to understand rather than memorize them.
