214 KangXi Radicals - All 214
undefined NB : This page will blink when the gif format characters are loaded. The second Qing Emperor, KangXi, (reigned 1662-1722) decreed the compilation of a dictionary of all chinese characters used in China. When it was completed in 1716, it was duly named after him, The KangXi ZiDian, or KangXi Dictionary.
The radical ( Chinese : 部首 ) is an essential element of the Chinese dictionary. The list of Chinese radicals is a rough equivalent of a Chinese "alphabet". Every Chinese character is classified under a radical and characters with the same radical are sorted by the number of strokes ( Simplified Chinese : 画 ; Traditional Chinese : 畫 ) used in writing them. The number of strokes varies between 1 and 17. Characters belonging to a particular radical are in turn listed on the basis of the number of additional strokes.
