The Second 1000 Reference Sheets

The same reference book, for characters 1,001–2,000.

The second thousand is where characters start sharing components in ways that either confuse you or — if you can see the parts — make everything click. This book shows you the parts.

What's on each character

• The simplified character and the traditional form, in large type
• Pinyin pronunciation
• English keyword plus fuller definitions
• A breakdown of the character's components, simplified and traditional
• The three most common HSK words using the character, with pronunciation and definition
• Coordinates locating it on The Second 1000 Poster
