Frequently asked
What do I get with the free plan?
24 beautifully crafted characters — each with real stroke order, the full four-era glyph evolution, and animated character meaning. No sign-up required.
What makes HanziStory different from other apps?
Most apps show you how to write a character. HanziStory shows you why it looks the way it does — through the character's actual evolution from oracle bone to modern form, and an animated scene that brings its meaning to life. It's a story, not a drill.
