  9. Six Categories (六书 / 六書). Pictograms 象形字 2. Ideograms 指事字 3. Ideogrammic compounds 会意字 4. Phono-semantic compounds 形声字 5. Transformed cognates 转注字 Rebus 假借字

  10. Pictograms 象形字 Characters in this class derive from pictures 日rì for "sun", 月yuè for "moon“, 木mù for "tree”,

  11. Ideograms 指事字 Characters either modify existing pictographs iconically, or are direct iconic illustrations 上shàng "up“ 下xià "down”

  12. Ideogrammic compounds 会意字 Translated literally as logical aggregates or associative compounds, these characters symbolically combine pictograms or ideograms to create a third character. 木mù "tree” 林lín "grove", 森sēn "forest".

  13. Phono-semantic compounds 形声字 The phono-semantic compounds, also called semantic-phonetic compounds or pictophonetic compounds. pictographic phonetic 河hé “river”, 氵shuǐ可 kě 湖hú "lake", 氵shuǐ 胡 hú

  14. Transformed cognates 转注字 The mutual-explanatory characters typically are a pair or a group of characters, that share the same radical and have similar meaning. 考kǎo "to verify" 老lǎo "old" were once the same character, meaning "elderly person"

  15. Rebus 假借字 Also called borrowings or phonetic loan characters, this category covers cases where an existing character is used to represent an unrelated word with similar pronunciation; sometimes the old meaning is then lost completely. 自zì, "oneself“, original meaning of "nose” 萬 wàn, "ten thousand“, originally meant "scorpion”
