	:: Different Styles ::
		Nowadays, the traditional style is still maintained by the people of Taiwan, the people of Hong Kong (although this may not be the case after 1997), some of the Chinese people of Singapore, and a large number of Chinese outside the Mainland.
		The most special characteristic of the traditional style is that it is generally written from left to right and top to bottom.
		The most obvious difference is that simplified characters are formed from subcomponents that are artificially assigned to represent the sounds used in the speaking of the word or words represented by the character (traditional Chinese characters are not phonetic).

		The second section comprises the remainder of the characters in the official list of 2,000 basic characters promulgated by the Chinese government, and gives much the same information as the first section, save the stroke order (which the learner should already be conversant with after learning the first section) and the compound words.
		Unlike many books which present the most commonly-used characters first (although this is not to say that the characters he presents are not, in the main, common ones), characters that are geometrically simplest are first presented, and complex characters are built-up from the simpler parts already presented.
		This does, in many ways, aid the memorisation of complex characters, if their parts are already known, but it also has the effect of presenting some rare, obscure, archaic or otherwise obsolete characters early on, so that they may be used as a section of a more complex, but common, character later on.
