I've heard the shi poem lol it sounds goofy. Its about a guy trying to eat lions.

My vocab is small but its nice to see the meaning behind the handful of words I already recognized.

I don't see the pig but I'll believe Trapp lol. Its interesting to see the explanation behind certain characters. Home (Jiā 家) is written like roof over a pig because pigs were important sustenance. So home is where your pig is lol.

Its informative but I wish it was color coded or at least had diagrams of which part of the character is the phonetic and which is the radical. The traditional paper binding is neat.
