Similar to Chinese Pinyin Table, the Chinese Radical Table lists all the radicals for the simplified Chinese characters in the order of the stroke counts. The list of Chinese radicals is a rough equivalent of a Chinese alphabet. They are used to index the characters for Chinese dictionaries. They are also building blocks of the Chinese characters and often reflecting some common semantic or phonetic characteristic. Knowing common radicals can greatly help you learn new Chinese characters.

To look up a character, you can click the radical. All the simplified characters with the radical will show up instantly. There are 214 radicals in the original Kangxi radical list, but a few of them are no longer used in the simplified Chinese.

To generate Chinese character radical worksheets for offline practice, you can go to the Chinese worksheets page, click the Chinese Character Radicals link on the side bar and then hit the Generate Worksheets button.
