Learn to write Chinese characters, the way they're built.

Three classroom-grown apps for our students and families. Watch each character grow stroke by stroke, trace it, and practise; close-read the classics character by character; or read dynastic history as a knowledge graph. 一起学写字、读古文、读史书。

Character Studio学写字

The interactive learning app. Animated stroke order, pinyin and meaning, radicals, finger-tracing, and listen / read / write exercises — organised by book and lesson.

  • 笔顺 Stroke order

Classical Reader文言

Close-read classical Chinese (文言文). Bare vertical columns, then tap a line for per-character pinyin, a plain modern paraphrase, an idiomatic English reading, the 字词 that shift meaning, and the 成语 born in the line.

  • 通读·精读·背诵
  • 语法着色
  • 成语 Idioms
Open Classical Reader

For near-native readers — built for 字, 音, and 成语.

History Reader史案

Read the dynastic histories as a knowledge graph. Keep the 正史 text primary, then tap a 专名 or 虚词 to decode it — people, places, offices, eras, grammar — with maps, relationship graphs, career timelines, and a 专名库 that grows as you read.

  • 知识层·语言层
  • 地图·关系·时间轴
  • 溯源·互见
Open History Reader

For 准专业 readers of 文言 history — 一段《侯景传》起步.
