ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
The model characters were written by Yan Ruimin, keen pedagogue and expert on fountain pen calligraphy. I am grateful for all the late nights on which he shared his expertise with this Swedish novice, as well as for his patience with my incessant changes in the manuscript and the resulting newcalligraphic work. Cecilia Lindqvist spotted uncountable errors in drafts of the manuscript and contributed many ideas on the teaching of characters. Without her generous help this book would not exist in its present form. I would also like to thank Qing Yang for providing the drawings for figures 18 and 19, Jonas Arnqvist for his aid with the word processing and review of the text, Jussi Karlgren forhis usual enthusiasm and comments on style, and Johan "It-is-totally-unnecessary-to-practice-characters" Nilsson for innumerable opportunities to hone the pro-calligraphy arguments (and for his thorough language editing and help with the original layout), as well as Maarten de Chateau, Magnus Fiskesjo, Kjell Fornander, Goran Leijonhufvud, and Li Congjia for reading and commenting on the material.David Pankenier provided many valuable suggestions, especially on the English technical terms. My warm thanks to Terry Wolkerstorfer for his thorough review of my English. Finally, I would like to thank the professionals at Yale University Press, especially my editor, Mary Pasti, whose painstaking and enthusiastic work has made this wonderful English edition possible.
