The history of looking up Chinese characters in dictionaries

~ Shortly and sweetly ~ 短小精悍 ~
The history of the dictionary, from grand tomes (鸿篇) to handphones (手机). Ancient bamboo guides and workbooks, a Han dynasty breakthrough, rhyme works, word vs character lexicons, early bookstore and library boom, the making of the modern dictionary, and current developments. Watch as I show you how to do lookups in each one over time.

throughout: small ink glitches come from the interacting anim layers I crafted for scenes
