✦ Official blog · 2026 edition

How do Chinese characters stay in your head?

Nine foundational essays of Matrix Hanzi — rewritten from scratch for the current product: six modes, one dataset, and a closed recall loop. Each article carries its own color, the way each stage of learning carries its own light.

Who is this blog for? Learners past the honeymoon phase, facing the real enemy: forgetting. Where to start? Articles 1–4 build the philosophy (memory → harbor → discipline → system). Articles 5–9 map the product and the method. Every screenshot is captured from the live product; every figure comes from the current data library.
