The content following each entry includes Pinyin, part of speech, definitions, and examples. Some entries are annotated with register, style, or subject category as needed. Single-character entries are arranged in alphabetical order of Pinyin. Homophones with different tones are arranged by tone. Homophones with different forms are arranged by stroke count, with fewer strokes listed first.
