variants

one

may be slightly sloping and mo­de­rately sloping, and in general the curve, as in the last example

mouth

be careful, not to confuse "mo­uth" with the "surround" (№ 50). They differ only in size (the only case in hieroglyphics), but in the "mouth" nothing happens, and in the "surround" you can find a lot of things...

3.

second (cyclical sign of ten)

we will adopt following the tra­di­tion that as his variants should be considered: 乛, ㇆, 乚, ⺄ etc.. A few variants, be careful. From simple to sophisticated, as in the last three examples. In the second example there are 2 variants of "second" together .

man (on the left)

man

The diversity (three variants) of "men" is collected into the "crowd". Note that the standard "fall­ing rightwards" turn effort­lessly to the "dot", when neces­sary, that actually allows us to incorpo­rate them in the graph № 10 (this "calligraphic trick" we will meet again and again).

sun

in the examples, two variants of the sun, just to eyes accustomed: one very "stretched", another extremely "elongated"

7.

wrap

8.

white

hand

covers all conceivable variants of "classic" hands except "扌" (№ 20). In combination with the "spe­ar" (№ 27) it is not clear who owns the horizontal line. In the second example, meets his vari­ant, in the third pulls up "the fin­ger". Well, in the last example is extremely simpl­ified "hand", which you will always be confus­ed with the com­bination of "fall­ing leftwards - one" (№ 12 - № 1). Be careful.

dot

same as "falling rightwards", i.e. the line going from left to right, top to bottom, regardless of its length. Three variants of "dots" on the example of two characters in the next column.

11.

earth

differs from similar "scholar" (№ 102) ratio horizontal lines ("earth" has shorter upper stroke then low­er). In straitened cir­cum­stances slightly "tilts" the bottom line, as, for example, before "dra­gon" (a ve­ry common calli­gra­phic trick). 

falling leftwards

can "lean" a little bit, being almost vertical, can recline thor­oughly as in the first example, and can al­most lie down supine, as in the se­cond example. In the third variant is reduced almost to a point, but al­ways retains its direction from top-right to left-down.

knife

In the first example, the two "knives": almost classic, only slight­ly compressed by the weight from above, and above it "knife on the side". The second character is really "knife on top". Next two va­riants of "knife on the side", but they are all "knives" for us.

tree

"tapering" of the "tree" by type "man"  (№ 5),  reducing "falling rightwards" to "dot" (№ 10).

walk

It's almost always located on the left side of the character and un­derlines it from the bottom, but sometimes "hiding" inside.

vertical stroke

vary only in length (sorry, height :).

moon

in addition to the "standard" types there are 2 variants, but always recognizable.

water

in version of the classic "water" is slightly changed middle hook. In the following example 2 "wa­ter": "water on the left and fre­quent variant "water" when it is "close­ly". And a unique case, when the water is "covering" sign and in­corporates 3 horizontal line (an example of "neglect" traditi­on, which believes that the radi­cal is "hand" here).   

say (abbr.)

"full version " of radical (occurs much less frequently).

hand (var.)

easily recognizable sign, variations only in height.

two

encodes all the paired horizontal lines.

heart

slightly flattened when it's locat­ed at the bottom. Habitual and frequ­ent version of "heart on the left" (example 3) and quite rare in the last example.

antennae

is not necessarily at the top, may be lower, but then he "covers" some graph. Never found at the very bottom.

private

woman

top

spear

"reduced" version of the spear, in the tradition known as the radical "to hunt".

big

several variants of the "big" quite recognizable and caused only by changes in the height or width of the sign.

roof

foretell

two variants of "foretell" in one character.

ten

strength

hook

inch

thread (abbr.)

sometimes you can meet variant which probably has slipped thro­ugh "reform of simplify".

leg

in some cases there is no hook on its upper horizontal

eight

sometimes skips inside it­self another "objects" or able to "cover" the other graphs as in the last two examples.

again

two variants, the second is found only in derived from the given character.

beta

combines traditional "town-mo­und", because the style they are not distinguishable, and he is lo­cated on the left or on the right, is determined by the sequence of graphs in the description of the cha­racter, the­re­fore, the separation between "town" and "mound" seems re­dun­dant. No variants.

eye

common variant "eyes" with elong­ated lower horizontal.

king

predictable variant - it's the ex­pect­ed change of the lower hori­zontal ("two-in-one" in the ex­ample)

grain

variant formed by the same type as that of the "tree" (№ 14) and of the "man" (№ 5) - reduction of fall­ing rightwards stroke.

down box

one of the "covering" graphs, in­side of which is never empty, ex­cept for one character in com­bi­nation with the "surround" (№ 50). Four variants are shown.

topknot

tradition regards it as a variant of "small" (№ 61), but it seems easi­er to consider it as a separate graph with two variants.

self

of the three variants, the second one is "dangerous" because of its resemblance to the variant "seal" (№ 88).

visor

in the traditional set there is no such thing, but sometimes it great­ly simplifies the description.

son

a slightly modified horizontal al­ternate forms of this graph

stand

when it located on the "side"  (№ 73) and on the "turban" (№ 84), apparently, for more stability, based not on the "one" (№ 1),  but on the "cover" (№ 94)

moun­t-

­ain

surround

compare with "mouth" (№ 2). If the inside of the object there is something, so it's not "mouth", but "surround" (funny first exam­ple is the "mouth" in the "sur­round") Co­vering graph. It can be empty in­side, but rarely (exam­ple 2 is in­teresting combination of two co­ver­ing graphs "down box" and "surround").

child

pay attention to the third example, in which this graph passes the other graphs inside itself.

evening

sometimes confused with the "moon" (№ 17) but more like a "meat on left" (№ 128)

gate

rice

a variant of rice that you will reco­gnize without my prompt.

hook-to right

in the traditional set of radicals is missing. In addition to direct cor­respondence to the image, it en­codes also "a lower left corner" right up to right angle .

steep

sometimes with a sloped top.

strike (on right side)

be careful, it tends to be confused with "walk slowly" (№ 63).

language

tau

changes only the length of the top horizontal.

grass (on top)

small

occurs only slightly shortened ver­sion.

old (abbr.)

tradition views it as variant of "old" (see example). But we will do the opposite, since this variant is en­countered incomparably more often than traditional.

walk slowly

variants are very similar and re­cognizable. One of them even allows to put  a "dot" inside of it.

two vertical

in tradition it absent, but very usef­ul because it make our life easi­er :).

dagger

sheep

shortened from the bottom, vari­ant  "sheep" loses "leg" (or "tail"?) and sometimes just slightly bent.

village

corpse

not to be confused with "door" (№ 110)

stop

also quite predictable variant.

70.

field

two hands

shell

side

located separately (example 1) or merging with other graphs (example 2) sometimes loses the top "dot".

step

work

predictable variant.

cow

two variants: a "shortened" and "compressed"

bamboo (on top)

traditional "full" bamboo, it seems, does not occur at all...

fire

two variants of the same charac­ter: the first one is simply compressed laterally and easily recognizable, and the second... well, let us get used to that "the fire from below" also is "the fire"

to

exten­-­ sive

see

ax

based on "one", change its falling leftwards stroke to vertical stroke

spirit

"spirit on the left" is less similar to its prototype than to variant of clothes (№ 117, clothes on left). Be careful.

turban

ice

be careful, it's very similar to va­riant of "water" (№ 18, water on the left).

west (on top)

the full (traditional) variant of the "west", as in the example, is less common than abbreviated variant, and it is very similar to "wine" (№ 159). To avoid confusion in matrix an abbreviated variant of this graph is included to it.

car

seal

of the three variants of this graphs, the second is "dangerous" because of its similarity with the variant of graph "self" (№ 45).

though

two compacted variants.

dog

"dog on the left" occurs much more often then its traditional variant.

give birth

pig

in combination with "knife on top" (№ 13) - "mouth" (№ 2) or after the "pig's nose"  (№ 103) loses its top horizontal.

weapon

cover

"roof" (№ 29) without "dot" and without variants.

asterisk - blank graph

the graph modifier, the blank graph, the asterisk ("*" as it appears in the description of the graphs sequence of some charact­ers and in the graph matrix) is a graph which does not have its own "image" but demonstrates the some modification of the graphs sequence.

jade

leave

ear

sweet

cross

scholar

Chinese "scholar" is different from "earth" (№ 11), except the first elongated horizontal, so that is always right, regardless of the size or tightness. No variants. 

pig's nose (abbr.)

sometimes stretches out the "nose" trying to look like "brush" (№ 141), but never linked with the "ver­tical stroke" (№ 16) , "hook" (№ 33) and "falling leftwards" (№ 12). Sometimes, as in the second example, pulls the lower hori­zon­tal. Full version meets today rarely (example 3). 

gold

most often used in the abbreviated form "gold on the left" (example 1). In the second example, the cu­rious case of merger "father" (№ 131) and "gold"

bow

bird without tail

chip

a simplified version of "chips". Sometimes it may be situated on the right and then it looks diff­e­rently (example 1). Full traditional variant is very rare, with slightly varies (examples 2, 3 and 4).

small table

reduced small table "flexes" one its leg

blue

door

the variant is old "door" (the rest of traditional style).

use

sometimes "straightens" the falling leftwards stroke.

clan

the top falling leftwards can be "masked" by another graph, and the horizontals turn into falling leftwards

tongue

oneself

recep­- tacle

usually covering graph himself comes inside "surround" (№ 50).

arrow

117.

clothes

unexpectedly turned out to be co­vering graph. Lets place the other graphs under the "hat", and some­times just loses it as in se­cond example. But more often you may meet the "shortened" version of the "clothes" – the so-called "clo­thes on the left". Be­ware, this va­riant is very simi­lar to the "spirit on the left" (№ 83), added only a small falling leftwards on the right.

foot (on the left)

the full version of "foot" is quite rare.

sound

go

covering graph. It may have a lot of things inside it. Be careful when decomposition.

cave

expected modification of the "cave" in the first example and the unexpected loss of the top dot in the second...

stem

rock

and

long

owe

horse

meat (on the left)

very similar to the "moon" (№ 17) and they are often confused, but it is a separate thing, please pay atten­tion to it, I specifically chose a font that draws "meat on the left" by other way than the "moon". The full version of "meat" (see example) occurs much less frequently.

claw (on top)

chief

father

face

jorney

hair

horn

stream

in the first example "stream" flex­es his last vertical line. There are another version of "stream" (example 2) and a shortened "ver­sion of version" (example 3). And the last reduction to the state of the three verticals.

skin

high

compare

enclose

brush

compare with "pig's nose" (№ 103)

reptile

utensil

without

the second horizontal line takes a hook on the left when the graph is repeated (compressing the right leg) or is located after the "though" (№ 89)

evil

non-

body

worm

located on the "shell" it loses the right "dot".

branch

rain

the "flat" version of "rain" is more often than traditional (51:2)

dipper

net (abbr.)

rare "full" version of the "net". In combination with other graphs are not noticed.

sick

air

food (on the left)

in seclusion acquires a traditional "classic" look.

neat

enter

fourth (cyclical sign of 12)

lying on top is compressed, as in the first example. In one case acts as a covering graph, passing in­ward "though" (№ 89). 

wine

boat

it was discovered only one variant when the "boat" lost the bottom "dot"

slice

tooth

valley

pick

leather

wind

bean

box

lame

in this embodiment the "lame" has feet clearly different length. Of the 18 characters with graph the lame this variant, when it under­lines the next graph, is found three times.

servant

in some cases, loses internal vertical lines.

insignificant

in a variant  "dot" changes to fall­ing leftwards. This variant, by the way, occurs in texts much more then standard
