This allows every learner of Chinese characters to "read and recognize characters" and fully enjoy the immense pleasure of exploring the ocean of books.
The large-scale TV art series "Chinese Character Palace" is carefully created based on Bai Shuangfa's unique "Dual Method Character Principle Recognition Method." This recognition method originates from tradition but differs from traditional methods. It uses over 200 pictographic characters as its foundation and follows two character creation methods—form-meaning and sound-meaning—to derive other related characters. It uncovers and organizes the origins and consequences of Chinese characters, making the learning of Chinese characters systematic, efficient, and productive.
The series uses artistic means to introduce the "Dual Method Character Principle Recognition Method." Based on the morphological characteristics of each character, the series weaves a real, lively, and intellectually stimulating story involving the cultural ancestor, an elderly man of Chinese characters, and two mature children throughout the series. Using modern digital film and television high-tech techniques, the series combines real-life scenes with 2D and 3D animations organically, transforming dull and boring characters into vivid objects and interrelated plots. This achieves the visualization, life-connection, and entertainment of Chinese characters, eliminating the traditional hardship of memorizing stroke patterns such as horizontal, vertical, left-falling, dot, and turning strokes. While mastering new characters, viewers are delighted mentally and gain knowledge, achieving multiple benefits at once.
The prominent features of the "Dual Method Character Principle Recognition Method" are:
1. Simplifying academic complexity. The theory of Chinese characters usually gives people a sense of profound mystery, but here it becomes extremely easy to understand.
2. Making education life-related. Most of our knowledge comes from life, and the "character principle" of Chinese characters exists in life and around us.
3. Turning conflicts into interest. Issues such as the simplification and complexity of Chinese characters and debates over different viewpoints are difficult to handle. This series takes the standard Chinese characters of modern Mandarin as the benchmark and appropriately introduces the origins and consequences of Chinese characters, different viewpoints, and explanations, enabling communication between simplified and traditional fonts, expressing and referencing differing opinions. It cleverly resolves academic disputes in the study of Chinese characters and pedagogical conflicts, unifying them under the goal of "character recognition."
