Guide from keys to words. Chinese characters

In the manual "Chinese Characters. A Guide from Keys to Words" all the characters and words necessary for preparing for the new HSK 1 (3.0) are presented, consisting of 300 characters and 500 words. However, the characters and words are... not arranged in the usual alphabetical order but are divided into key groups.
The basis of Chinese writing is not an alphabet but characters. The only correct and convenient classification system for characters, invented by the Chinese several centuries ago, is the key system. Moreover, most keys are semantics, graphisms that hint at the meaning of the characters.
In this manual, all keys are divided into five groups, where "Nature" and "Human" are the most numerous. From the keys, one can trace the path to the characters, and from the characters, in turn, to the words. Words consisting of two or more characters will appear two times or more accordingly. This arrangement allows one to organize characters and words in the mind, understand that character writing and word formation is one huge and quite logical system where everything is interconnected.
The manual also highlights the most frequently occurring phonetics (graphisms that hint at pronunciation) with all the variations of pronunciation they provide. Memorizing phonetics will allow one to anticipate the possible sounds of encountered characters.
At the end of the manual, there is an alphabetical index for familiar searching. The manual also includes interactive tasks on character writing and word formation; the QR code leading to the tasks is located at the end of the introduction.
May this guide become your guide into the world of logical character writing and word formation!
