This book has the following characteristics:
1. Practicality. The New Curriculum Standard Primary School Practical Idiom Dictionary includes over 2,000 commonly used idioms and 2,000 less commonly used ones. Each idiom features pinyin, explanations of key words, overall idiom definitions, examples, near-synonymous idioms, antonymic idioms, and notes on pronunciation, form, and meaning that students should pay attention to in the idiom entries. This meets the requirements for idiom learning at the primary school level.
2. Standardization. Standardization is primarily reflected in the accurate interpretation of the form, sound, and meaning of idioms. The explanation of form, sound, and meaning is the most important part of an idiom dictionary. Our explanations follow the order of sound, form, and meaning, starting with pinyin. If there are form-related issues, they are clearly marked. The definitions are tailored to the characteristics of primary school students, aiming to be simple and easy to understand, generally not exceeding the level required by the Chinese Language Curriculum Standards. The examples in this book cover both classical and vernacular literature, with a focus on vernacular prose, striving to select standardized usage examples. Considering the target audience, modern examples are primarily used, and some entries include self-created examples to better highlight the practical and contemporary relevance of the idioms.
