Abstract
In view of the current situation that the teaching of Chinese characters' pronunciation is relatively separated from the font and meaning in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language (TCFL), this thesis puts forward a plan to introduce the concept of "Yi Sheng character" in Shuowen Jiezi based on the fundamental, practicability and innovative of the New Practical Chinese Reader Textbook (Volume 1-4). This thesis analyses all the Yi Sheng characters and Yi Sheng components mentioned in the "Basic Chinese Characters" section of the New Practical Chinese Reader Textbooks (Volumes 1-4), discusses their associations with modern pronunciation by ancient or modern pronunciation, traditional or simplified Chinese character and phonemic component, in a bid to summarise the associations in meanings between the Yi Sheng components and the Yi Sheng characters. In this way, foreign Chinese learners can gain a holistic understanding of the pronunciation-font-meaning combination of basic Chinese characters.
