1. Words used incorrectly are placed within parentheses in words, phrases, or sentences, followed by the correct word, and then an analysis.
2. Incorrectly used words include misspellings and non-standard characters. For variant words, the book no longer follows the original dictionary's stance that both forms are acceptable, but instead adopts the recommended forms as published by the Ministry of Education and the State Language Commission in the "Trial List of Standardized Variant Words" dated March 31, 2002, and the "Standardized Dictionary of Modern Chinese Variant Words" published by Shanghai Ci Shu Chubanshe.
3. In addition to words that are homophonic or phonetically similar and easily confused, the book also includes: ① words with similar shapes.
4. The analysis generally involves three aspects: character form, character sound, and character meaning.
5. The book includes a stroke index and a phonetic index at the beginning for easy reference.
