Hi! Not all modern Chinese characters (especially simplified ones) are hieroglyphs. In other words, not all Chinese characters are derived from pictures. There are altogether six methods of forming Chinese characters, which are categorized by scholars whose special field is in the historical development of Chinese characters. Currently our apps do not provide such specialized knowledge, but we have a quite useful app targeted at mastering Chinese characters in a fun way. Please check out our Chinese Writer, which incorporates the writing practice into a fun game.
