Shuowen Jiezi (TV series)
Shuowen Jiezi () is the title of an educational television series broadcast daily on China's Sun TV channel and presented by Zhuang Jing (庄婧). The title is taken from the ancient Chinese etymological dictionary "Shuowen Jiezi", and each episode briefly explains a Chinese character. For scheduling purposes the series is also given an English title, Hanzi Tracing, but this is not a translation of the Chinese title. There is no English in the programs themselves. Broadcast times.

A selection of some of the previous episodes is also available to view on the program's Web archive. Opening and closing lines.
