About the Chart:

Radical Number – Chinese textbooks often mention a radical’s number without further details. For instance, “Radical 61” refers to the 61st radical in the Kangxi Dictionary, 心 (xīn), meaning “heart.”
Radicals – Click on a radical to download a free writing practice sheet. If a radical is followed by a “¹” (e.g., 刁¹), a specific practice sheet is unavailable, though blank sheets are on our Printables page.
Pinyin Pronunciation – If the Pinyin has a “²” (e.g., er²), use the neutral tone when pronouncing it.
