Description
The Chinese written language is considered one of the greatest heritage of the Chinese. This book, Unlocking the Chinese Heritage, takes you to the beginning of the Chinese written language, and leads you through the various stages of its development, until it becomes the language it is today.
Because understanding the culture is essential in learning the Chinese language, this book also attempts to present pertinent snippets of China's rich history and culture.
Educated primarily in the English language, Y K Wong began to take a great interest in understanding the language and culture of his ancestors when questions from his foreign friends showed up his inadequacy. He also wished to find a more interesting way to share with his children the wealth of a 5000- year-old civilization. Hence the impetus in writing this book.
