Features: This dictionary includes only 7,000 common characters as head entries, as promulgated by the State Language Work Commission. Numerous visible and meaningful words are used as example words included in the monosyllabic word entries without separate entries for explanation. The definitions strive for brevity and practicality, being simple and appropriate (given the richness of Chinese idioms, it was decided to separately publish a companion volume, Zhonghua Idiom Dictionary). Such an approach allows the dictionary to cover a wider range of content, aiming to achieve the effect of concise yet comprehensive, and efficient results.
