Radicals 51-75
For those of you wondering what in the world is a 'halberd', radical #62, it is a spear with an axe head attached. Some halberd had only a long blade attached to a pole. In either case, it can't be called a 'spear', which is radical #110. So, whatever other name you wish to give it, it can't be ’spear’.
The variant form of radical #66 'strike' is very similar to radical #34 'follow', but carefully note the slight difference between them. #34 is a three stroke form, while the #66 variant is a four stroke form.
As you begin to study these radicals, you will begin to see that #65 'branch' could be viewed as a combination of #33 'warrior' and #29 'again'. Use that to your advantage when learning these new radicals. Seeing the simpler parts will help you learn. Eventually, after you practice enough, you will remember the entire radical as a unit.
The first set of the practice pages has the radicals listed in the same order as the study sheet. The second and third sets have the radicals in mixed order.
