Xu Shen (c. 58 – c. 148 CE) was a Chinese calligrapher, philologist, politician, and writer of the Eastern Han dynasty (25–189 CE).[1] During his own lifetime, Xu was recognized as a preeminent scholar of the Five Classics.[2] He was the author of Shuowen Jiezi,[3][4] which was the first comprehensive dictionary of Chinese characters, as well as the first to organize entries by radical.[2] This work continues to provide scholars with information on the development and historical usage of Chinese characters.[2] Xu Shen completed his first draft in 100 CE but, waited until 121 CE before having his son present the work to the Emperor An of Han.[5]
