- The Elements of Chinese poster, designed at 40 × 50cm

- Vector, so it prints happily at A3 or A4
What you get
The poster shows the most common components of Chinese characters in red, with the characters they build clustered around them. The whole thing reads at a glance as a picture of which building blocks do the most work in the language.
This product used to be the poster alone. It now comes with the Elements of Chinese reference sheet as well. That sheet was previously only available inside the Master Pack, and it’s included here at no extra cost.
