Preface
pinyin are removed from the 12 textbooks. However, exercises on pinyin are included from
exercise book 5 to above.
4. Pinyin annotations are provided to all the main texts and reading materials in
textbooks one to four. Beginning with Book Five, the application is limited to only new
characters. In general, the annotations are applied character by character, except in the list
of words or expressions and proper names following the main texts, where they are applied
word by word. The characters are normally annotated in their original tone, with the
exception of the neutral tones. Characters generally of light pronunciation, are annotated
with tones when they are stressed.
The characters (yi) and (bu) are annotated in their actual tones
according to the context.
5. In retroflex finals, where the retroflex is unnecessary in written Chinese, the
character or word is not presented in its retroflexed form; and where the retroflex is
necessary, the character(er) is attached, e.g., ,.
6. English translation or explanation is provided for titles of texts and exercises. Proper
names in teachers reference books are also attached with their English equivalents.
7. New strokes or radicals are listed with new characters, with the exception of lessons
for character learning where only strokes are listed, but not radicals. In the classroom
exercise of Learn to write in textbooks one to four, new radicals, components and
characters are presented with their stroke order, and writing directions are noted in red
arrows. In textbooks five and above, new characters in the classroom exercises are not
presented with their stroke order. The stroke order is based on Stroke Order Regulation of
Frequently Used Characters in Modern Chinese , which was issued by the State Language
Commission and the General Administration of Press and Publication of P. R. C. in 1997.
8. For the convenience of teaching and self instruction, lists of new characters, words
and some proper names are added to the reading comprehensions. Their references and
resources are also added to the teachers reference books accordingly.
9. To meet the need of certain students for traditional Chinese characters, the main
text book is attached with a comparative list of new characters in simplified and traditional
forms arranged in alphabetical order, and each new word is marked with serial number of
the text where it belongs. In Book 2 and above, the alphabetical vocabulary list is
accumulative with new words of the previous text books. The traditional characters are
based on the 1986 version of General List of Traditional Chinese Characters issued by
