Encyclopedia > List of Kangxi radicals

The following is a list of all 214 Kangxi radicals, used originally in the 1716 Kangxi dictionary, in order of the number of strokes along with some examples of characters containing them. Please read Chinese characters and Chinese character radicals for more information on how these radicals are used in Chinese. The left part of mā, a Chinese character meaning mother, is a radical that means woman A radical (from Latin radix, meaning root) is a basic identifiable component of every Chinese character. ... // Events August 5 - In the Battle of Peterwardein 40. ... The Kangxi Dictionary (Chinese: 康熙字典; pinyin: ) was a dictionary, compiled under an edict from the Qing Dynasty Emperor Kangxi of China in 1710. ... Stroke order refers to the way of writing Chinese characters. ... 漢字 Chinese character in hànzì, hanja, kanji. ... The left part of mā, a Chinese character meaning mother, is a radical that means woman A radical (from Latin radix, meaning root) is a basic identifiable component of every Chinese character. ...


Variant forms of a radical are provided together (ex. 47. 巛川) or listed in two lines if they look very different (ex. 64. 手 and 64'. 扌). Simplified forms are given after a slash. (For example, number 187: 馬/马). The character examples are all traditional characters.


This list is such a common standard that sometimes radicals are referred to by number alone. A reference to radical 189, for example, without additional context, means 高.


For modern radicals, see List of 189 modern radicals, and List of 227 modern radicals (two other modern categorisations).

Radical (Chinese character) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (2726 words)
A radical (from Latin radix, meaning "root") is the semantic root (i.e., portion bearing the meaning) of an inflected European word.
The list of section headers was later trimmed to 214 in the 1615 dictionary Zìhuì (字彙/字汇; "Lexicon") by Méi Yíngzuò (梅膺祚).
The Kangxi dictionary of 1716 was indexed using the Zìhuì section headers, and they form the standard list of 214 section headers or radicals still used today.
NodeWorks - Encyclopedia: Radical (Chinese character) (2381 words)
Radicals are important to the organisation and use of Chinese dictionaries, Japanese Kanji dictionaries, and Korean Hanja dictionaries.
This list of radicals was later trimmed to 214 in the 1615 dictionary Zìhuì (字彙/字汇; "Lexicon") by Méi Yíngzuò (梅膺祚).
As a rule of thumb, radicals in the left or top of the character, or elements which surround the rest of the character are the ones most likely to be used as index radicals.
