Features: The 4,121 Chinese idioms included in this dictionary (excluding those in the synonyms and antonyms columns) are common idioms suitable for middle school students and people with intermediate education levels. This dictionary adopts an inverted organization method, listing idioms based on their meanings and arranging them in the order of the Pinyin of the first character of the meaning. Each entry generally includes the idiom, variant forms, format, notes on difficult characters, explanation, literal meaning of non-narrative idioms, etymology, example sentences, synonyms, and antonyms. The dictionary strives to use as many examples as possible, aiming to enable readers to widely explore relevant works by predecessors. The main body of the dictionary is preceded by a table of contents, and an index of idioms by stroke order is appended at the end.
