Learn & Write All 214 Radicals
This content is based on the Kangxi Dictionary of 1716. About the Chart:
- *Radical Number – Chinese textbooks often refer to a Radical’s number without additional context. For example, “Radical 61” refers to the 61st radical of the Kangxi Dictionary, 心; xīn “heart”.
- **Radicals – This column contains links to FREE printable writing practice sheets. Blank pages are available on our Printables page.
- 1 – Any Radical followed by 1 is not contained on the character writing page as it is not supported by the software.
- 2 – Pinyin followed by a 2 should be pronounced in the “neutral” tone. The audio is for demonstrative purposes and is read in the 4th tone.
Chinese Characters or English can be placed in the search boxes above the tables (pinyin requires tone marks). On mobile? Our tables scroll sideways.
