The story of Richard Sears or "Uncle Hanzi" [View all]



American authority on Chinese Etymology. Had the privilege to see some examples of these ancient "oracle bones" in the national museum in Taipei once a long time ago. Became familiar with the difficulty of memorizing hanja in the study of Korean.
His website:

https://hanziyuan.net/

Being able to search for and see the earlier forms of modern characters on his web site is truly amazing.
