Book Information & Summary
Written by Lee Seung Hoon
The theme of Chinese characters and the oracle bone scripts was the field captured by the stereotype that it was so difficult that only a few researchers could approach. It is somewhat similar that modern young generation would feel about Chinese characters in this way. This book was written by the writer, who thought people might have different point of view, if the Chinese characters were out in this world beyond China. It was the result of comprehensive study by the professor Lee, Seung-Hoon from the Chinese Culture Studies of University of Seoul. The professor has proceeded lectures and communicated with students for ten years. This book is the result of his efforts so far. The writer has built Wikipedia explaining Chinese Study with students and updated every year. He did so because he wanted to provide verified information on Chinese culture to the public so that the public could use the information easily and conveniently. He put his desire into ‘The Environment of Chinese Character’ and explained the history of letters as well as the vast history of China in an easy and fun way.
He included the study results of the existing academic field related to Chinese characters thoroughly and showed diverse environments about Chinese characters by introducing brain science, the philosophy of Oriental and Western cultures, the comparison with other world languages, and East Asian history. Hundreds of oracle bone scripts, traditional books, manner books, simple Chinese characters, pictographs, and letter plate data lead people to have interests in the origin of Chinese characters and to imagine the thoughts and minds of the ancient people who created and carved the very first letters. By doing so, this book inspires readers in an artistic way. Furthermore, this book is a so-called textbook of public liberal arts to make people enjoy Chinese characters and the history of human beings. With his sophisticated storytelling skills and systematic knowledge, the writer makes readers finish this book at once, and feel excited about witnessing the birth of such an excellent public liberal arts book author.
