Learn ALL 249 Chinese HSK words with “shi” (with example sentences)

Jun 23, 2019 | 0 comments

The other day I was thinking about the “shi poem” (The Lion-Eating Poet in the Stone Den by Zhao Yuanren), and wondered how many “shi” characters are there in the HSK. I found out that there were 39 of them, and they are found in 249 words.

This video shows you all 39 “shi” characters, and the 249 words. I also quickly go through the few characters in the poem that are not on the HSK word list.
