The separation of Chinese character

Chinese character is hieroglyph, that means is Chinese character might made from different components which have specific means. For example, the word “grove” in Chinese character is made from two same components, which means “tree”, and the word “forest” in made from three “tree” components. Therefore, Chinese character can be separated to more general information. So, it is possible to visualise the meaning of Chinese character.

Information reconstruction and visualization

As I said, the composition of CC (Chinese character) could be understood independently, if I separate that can use specific visual elements to represent the individual component, then regroup these, it will be really interesting! It could represent a CC by different point, and people might understand CC by a original, visual method that means, the colour, structure, geometric shape or something could be the part of a reconstructive Chinese word. What kind of information can be separated and collected from Chinese character?

• Construction

  The construction of a CC means, how do components group together, top and bottom, left and right, or left & middle & right, even around or special layout.
