Decoding the Chinese Language and Characters with Professor Sin Chow-Yiu (in Cantonese)

「尖沙咀」、「敗北」與「造詣」 – 漢字漢語解碼

「尖沙咀」能否說成「尖沙口」？「敗北」能否說成「敗南」、「敗東」、「敗西」？「造詣」能否說成「做詣」？ 如果不能，為甚麼不能？不知道答案的，歡迎前來尋找答案。

在這次講座中，單周堯教授將為你辨析字形字義、錯字及別字、助你認識部首、瞭解字源、漢字的本義、引申義和假借義、提高理解漢語的層次，與你一起踏上漢字、漢語尋根之旅。

The Museum Society and UMAG are pleased to jointly present the second of two talks on Chinese calligraphy and philology.

Professor Sin Chow-Yiu will take us on a journey to decode the Chinese language and characters through uncovering the meanings and shapes of the Chinese characters, understanding etymology and character identification, and enhancing one's mastery of Chinese by understanding a character's original and extended meanings.
