Hanzillion

I just found this web site Hanzillion, in which one girl attempts to categorize the Hanzi (Chinese characters) by finding signs and artwork of each character. She categorizes them by subject (of meaning) and number of strokes. This is brilliant, amazing, and useful all rolled into one.

Here is the entry for "hua" - meaning flower, blossom.



What's great is that I can subscribe to the RSS feed and get a free vocabulary lesson right in my RSS reader. She doesn't have a lot of them just yet, but still, it's a really great idea. Art and information all rolled into one -- artformation? Infart? Yes ... infart. That's the one.
