Sorry for my (typing) miss-spelling! The correct pinyin is : Yi4 Jing1 (The Book of Changes)


CJ code:APHH AND VFMVM


By the way ... you note that if you don't know already the chacarters for Yi4 and for Jing1 --which I am sure you know- you will have trouble (because of the homophones) to find the corresponding characters in your dictionary (especially electronic) -if you do not know their meaqning --- or to input them on computer applications. But when you communicate to others the CJ code ... there is no ambiguity (or almost none. None at all in version 5 --which I'll have to get explaining very soon!).

Very interesting.


What is the CJ code for "Ying Jing"? Is that Jing like crystal?

I agree, the homophones can cause some confusion. YiJing was easy, b/c I can guess from the context. Combinations can narrow things down a bit (e.g. chengshi is usu. city or computer program), but CJ is best for specifying a single character.




Originally, when you accidentally wrote "yingjing structure", I had only one guess from that combination, but I thought to myself, NO WAY can it be that! (laughing)

Another solution, cooler: please try the excellent website of brother Ahong, in Malaysia: You can do exactly what you said you need: paste a character and it will give you immediately the CJ code plus pinyin and zhuyin. http://www.chinesecj.com/. MORE: you can aslo input in Cangjie code (both 3rd and 5th version), zhuyin, and even pinyin. (You choose your input on the box top-left corner). If you are excited by it, drop a line to Ahong: mailto:khon@tm.net.my. He will be happy.


Also, worth downloading (free) and exploring is a whole Chinese-Chinese dictionary made by Chu Bangfu. It is arranged alphabetically by Cangjie codes. For each character, the meaning of each CJ unit is explained. Here is the link to the introductory page http://www.cbflabs.com/book/dic/dic.htm ; and here the link for the download: http://www.cbflabs.com/book/dic/dic.zip . I started a translation of the dictionary: it is a very big work. Also, it will be good if someone could find a way to search it electronically.

Is there a site where I can paste a character and search for its ChangJie code?


I'm just starting out using ChangJie, and I'm excited about it b/c I really am able to deduce new codes from old ones instead of memorizing. However, I usually look up a few codes here and there to get me started. (Awaiting your reply regarding the book, Eddy). For example, once I learned what DI created, I guess AGDI, HHDI, etc.


I need to find things like the code for JIA1 (home, family) so i can deduce other words with "pig" inside them.


Thanks! DK


P.S. Of course, I downloaded the zip of traditional codes from this site, but that is searchable only by the codes themselves.
