The chart gives the number of each radical, its form or forms, and a reference to its treatment in Reading and Writing Chinese. Numbers in Roman type refer to radicals included in the first character group of basic characters. Page numbers in italics refer to radicals in the second character group (pp. 215–273); a means “left column,” b means “right column” on the actual pages. “Cp.” means “Compare” to the relevant character on the page number given. “(--)” means the character in parentheses does not have or is not ascribed a (different) meaning. —1 — 1. ⼂ dot 73 2. ⼀ one 1 3. ⼁ down 13 4. ⼃ left 2 5. “back-turned stroke” 21 6. “top of 刁” 867 7. ⼄ twist 15 —2 — 8. ⼎ ice 657 9. ⼇ lid 33 10. 讠 side-words 58 (cp. 185) 11. ⼆ two 5 12. ⼗ ten 7 13. ⼚ slope 229 14. “top of 左” 221 15. ⼕ basket 197 16. ⼘ divine 159 17. 刂 side-knife 232 18. ⼍ crown 36 19. ⼌ borders 8 20. “top of 每” 434 21. 亻 side-man 14 22. ⼚ “top of 盾” 398 23. ⼈ (⼊) person (enter) 4 (204) 24. ⼋ ( ) eight 124 25. “bottom of 义” 1019 26. ⼓ wrap 283 27. ⼑ (⼣) knife (--) 131 28. ⼒ strength 11 29. ⼉ son 67 30. ⼏ table 541 31. “top of 予” 774 32. ⼙ seal 112 33. 阝 (on the left of characters) mound (“left ear”) 94 34. 阝 (on the right of characters) city (“right ear”) 191 35. ⼜ right hand 101 36. ⼵ march 933 37. ⼛ nose 46 38. ⼐ bowl 579 39. ⼔ ladle 41 —3 — 40. 氵 “three-dots water” 77 41. 忄 side-heart 19 42. 丬 bed 1033 43. 亡 to flee 85 44. ⼴ lean-to 363 45. ⼧ roof 40 46. 门 gate 25 47. 辶 halt 90 48. ⼯ work 566 49. ⼟ (⼠) earth (knight) 34 (35) 50. 艹 grass 16 51. ⼶ clasp 193 52. ⼤ big 61 53. ⼪ lame 68 54. ⼨ thumb 237 55. 扌 side-hand 28 56. ⼷ dart 29 57. ⼱ cloth 464 58. ⼝ mouth 53 59. ⼞ surround 9 60. ⼭ mountain 118 61. ⼬ sprout 580 62. ⼻ step 50 63. ⼺ streaks 909 64. ⼣ dusk 158 65. ⼡ follow, slow 431 66. 丸 bullet 762 67. ⼫ corpse 440 68. 饣 side-food 293 (cp. 217) 69. 犭 (side-) dog, 183 (cp. 96) 70. ⼹ pig’s head p. 215b 71. ⼸ bow 270 72. ⼰ (巳) self (--) 297, (299) 73. ⼥ woman 3 74. ⼦ (孑) child (--) 44 75. 马 horse 55 76. ⼳ coil 47 77. 纟 silk 48 78. ⼮ river p. 216b 79. ⼩ small 37 —4 — 80. 灬 “fire-dots” 54 81. ⼼ heart 87 82. ⽃ peck 765 83. ⽕ fire 295 84. ⽂ pattern 215 85. ⽅ square 505 86. 户 door 504 87. 礻 side-sign 166 (cp. 132) 88. 王 king 72 89. “top of 青” 153 90. 天 (夭) heaven (tender) 63 91. 韦 walk off 967 92. “top of ⽼” 180 93. 廿 twenty 194 94. ⽊ tree 80 95. 不 not 97 96. ⽝ dog 638 97. ⽍ chip 408 98. ⽡ tile 739 99. ⽛ tooth 671 100. 车 car 416 101. ⼽ lance 30 102. ⽌ toe 246 103. ⽇ sun 179 104. ⽈ say 110 105. 中 middle 150 106. 贝 cowrie 140 107. 见 see 266 108. ⽗ father 264 109. ⽓ breath 64 110. ⽜ cow 340 111. ⼿ hand 27 112. ⽑ fur 114 113. 攵 knock 316 114. ⽚ slice 422 115. ⽄ ax 342 116. ⽖ claws 306 (447) 117. 尺 foot (length) 949 118. ⽉ moon/meat 104 119. ⽎ club 234 120. ⽋ yawn 244 121. 风 wind 819 122. ⽒ clan 276 123. ⽐ compare 660 124. 肀 “top of ⾀” 109 125. ⽔ water 473 —5 — 126. ⽴ stand 144 127. ⽧ sick 605 128. ⽳ cave 454 129. 衤 side-gown 290 (cp. 161) 130. “top of 春” 811 131. ⽟ jade 74 132. ⽰ sign 899 133. 去 go 556 134. “top of 劳” p. 221a 135. ⽢ sweet 195 136. ⽯ rock 749 137. 龙 dragon p. 241a 138. 戊 halberd 517 139. “top of 常” 482 140. 业 business 714 141. ⽬ eye 129 142. ⽥ field 10 143. 由 from 893 144. 申 stretch 804 145. net 175 146. ⽫ dish 138 147. 钅 side-gold 117 (cp. 209) 148. ⽮ arrow 82 149. ⽲ grain 81 150. ⽩ white 282 151. ⽠ melon p. 243b 152. 鸟 bird p. 215a 153. ⽪ skin 747 154. back 796 155. ⽭ spear p. 226a 156. ⽦ bolt 326 —6 — 157. ⽺ sheep 156 158. roll, p. 232b 159. ⽶ rice 126 160. 齐 line-up p. 217b 161. ⾐ gown 152 162.

The company’s founder, Charles E. Tuttle, belonged to a New England family steeped in publishing. And his first love was naturally books—especially old and rare editions. Immediately after WW II, serving in Tokyo under General Douglas MacArthur, Tuttle was tasked with reviving the Japanese publishing industry. He later founded the Charles E. Tuttle Publishing Company, which thrives today as one of the world’s leading independent publishers. Though a westerner, Tuttle was hugely instrumental in bringing a knowledge of Japan and Asia to a world hungry for information about the East. By the time of his death in 1993, Tuttle had published over 6,000 books on Asian culture, history and art—a legacy honored by the Japanese emperor with the “Order of the Sacred Treasure,” the highest tribute Japan can bestow upon a non-Japanese. With a backlist of 1,500 titles, Tuttle Publishing is more active today than at any time in its past—inspired by Charles Tuttle’s core mission to publish fine books to span the East and West and provide a greater understanding of each.
