Anyone who has tried to learn a language knows that immersion is a great way to quickly pick up vocabulary and usage. With 新時代新時代說文解字, New Era of Analytical Interpretation of Chinese Writing Characters, author Lin Wu cannot pick you up and set you in one of China’s vast cities or sprawling rural regions, but instead offers the next best thing: an academic immersion. New Era provides a deep dive into the written Chinese language’s structure, evolution, and philosophy, blending history and culture with language. Drawing on their passion and longtime study of written Chinese characters, Lin Wu offers readers a profound understanding of Chinese characters that stretches beyond mere skill acquisition.
