"""One of the difficulties of fully understanding the Chinese script has always been the sheer amount of information embedded in each character. The Genius of Chinese Characters does a truly remarkable job of distilling and displaying this information into a clear and authoritative format. It is a much-needed new reference source that will be invaluable to sinologists and lay readers alike.""- David Moser, author of A Billion Voices: China's Search for a Common Language"
