What sets Pichinese apart from other products that use character illustrations?

While other products may also use images to represent Chinese characters, Pichinese stands out due to its unique approach. The illustrations are carefully designed based on the original meaning and form of the characters, inspired by ancient oracle bone and bronze inscriptions. Unlike products that merely create pictures around characters, Pichinese shapes the illustrations to reflect the actual structure of the character. This deeper connection to Chinese history and culture enhances the learning experience.

Each radical comes with its own illustration. Once learners become familiar with these radical images, they will be able to identify these components in all characters, as every character includes a radical.
