Huang, P. (2009). 漢字教學的理論與實踐 [Theory and Practice in Chinese Character Pedagogy].

While it's acknowledged that achieving absolute objectivity in the evaluation is challenging, the insights drawn from Professor Huang's work remain invaluable. By following the ranked tiers, learners can navigate their learning journey more efficiently and effectively, ultimately leading to greater proficiency in Chinese language skills. 📝 Notes: 1. Traditional characters are highlighted in blue, while simplified ones are in green. 2. If not highlighted, it means they are the same in both traditional and simplified forms. 3. Radical Variants are shown in brackets and the meanings in brackets apply when the radicals are used as single words or in compounds. 4. The Chinese radical tier list is based on three criteria: (1) High character recognition rate (2) High character formation rate (3) High word formation rate. 5. Radicals that fully meet each criterion receive 1 point; those that partially meet it receive 0.5 points. Partially met means the radical appears in some characters or words but not frequently enough to score a full point. Radicals that score 3 points are classified as Tier S; 2.5 points as Tier A; 2 points as Tier B; and 1.5 points as Tier C. This episode focuses on the radicals in the A to C tiers.
