Seal Style Chinese calligraphy 篆書www.art-virtue.com Steps to look up a Chinese character from a dictionary 1. Locate the section header chart (index) from the first few pages of the dictionary. 2. The section header of a Chinese character is usually the left part, top part, or sometimes the right part or the bottom part of the character. Here the section headers of 又, 女, and 孫are 又, 女, and 子. A section header ( 部首) is a more appropriate term than Radical, which in Latin means basis, root, or fundamental. Basis, root, or fundamental are not necessarily the same concept as section header in Chinese etymology. 又= also, 女= woman, 孫= grandson, 子= son 3. Then we count the remaining number of strokes of the character. For example, 孫has ten strokes. The remaining number of strokes excluding 子is seven. Then we start locating 孫under the section header 子. Characters under each section header are arranged by their number of strokes.
