For many years, teaching Chinese as a foreign language has always been based on the “word as a basic unit” approach, although this approach has achieved a certain degree of recognition of the experts, but in general, the result of training, according to this method, is not very optimistic, and there is a problem that oral abilities of students do not correspond to the written ones. The author believes that the teaching method “hieroglyph as a basic unit” should be adopted in the lexical approach of teaching, that is, “hieroglyph” is the basic one and the principle that follows is “to create a word from a hieroglyph and form a sentence from a word”. The article considers the use of the “hieroglyph as a basic unit” approach in teaching Chinese to beginners, and suggestions are made to improve learners' understanding and reading skills and the efficiency of teaching that language.
