 note = {The study of Chinese characters formed an important aspect of Chinese learning for Western nationals who came to China in modern times. Researchers currently attach great importance to textbooks of character learning and compile lists of Chinese characters. Lyon’s 500 Chinese characters commonly used in Official mandarin and Moncrieff’s 2000 Chinese Characters list are typical exemplars. This paper utilizes the technique of comparative analysis to discuss the value and characteristics of such compilations of Chinese characters by individuals who visited China in the modern age. In so doing, it creates data statistics both from the synchronic and diachronic perspectives. First, the lists are compared with a typical character textbook titled Two Years’ Course of Study in the Chinese Language. Second, the paper also compares lists of Chinese characters created in different periods, relating them to contemporary Chinese Proficiency Grading Standards for International Chinese Language Education. The results reveal that the modern missionaries in China acquired a relatively comprehensive and accurate grasp of Chinese characters and that their understanding gradually intensified over time. The lists of Chinese characters compiled by missionaries in modern China differed in conception from textbooks of Chinese characters. However, both served the same purpose. The compilations of Chinese characters by modern missionaries evinced distinct objectives and features of their times and primarily considered the frequency and word-formation ability of the characters. The textbooks of Chinese characters were more systematic in their exposition and emphasized the construction of characters and the combinations of their parts. A high coincidence rate is observed between the two types despite this distinction.},
