Zhongwen.com is a great website to learn Chinese characters and culture, created ten years ago by Rick Harbaugh, Assistant Professor of Business Economics and Public Policy, Kelley School of Business, Indiana University. Rick calls himself ''An economist with lexicographic preferences'', and he is. For speakers of English, the Chinese Language, especially Chinese characters, is often regarded as mysterious. Browse through Zhongwen.com, you''ll find out that it doesn''t need to be that way. Zhongwen.com, to a great extent, is a genealogy and dictionary of Chinese characters, a new tree system that shows graphically the close interconnections between over 4000 characters mainly according to the Shuowen Jiezi, Xu Shen''s etymological dictionary from 2000 years ago. Zhongwen.com also provides a web of Chinese characters dictionary for users to quickly compare definitions and find specialized terminology. In addition to the online dictionaries, this site gives more detailed background information of Chinese characters and even teaches you how to write a Chinese character stroke by stroke.
