Features: Tailored for students' college entrance and high school entrance exams, this language reference book has been a bestseller across the country, with sales reaching 1,200,000 copies. In terms of content, the previous version has been optimized according to new teaching requirements, emphasizing innovation, origin, cultivation, and practicality. In terms of form, the latest design with double-color printing aims for solemnity, elegance, liveliness, and novelty. This dictionary is intended for middle school students and those with a medium level of education, providing word formation and writing vocabulary. The dictionary includes over 3,700 commonly used single characters with word-formation abilities. The single characters are arranged in pinyin order. Homophones with the same tone are arranged by stroke count from few to many, and characters with the same stroke count are arranged by the order of stroke type (horizontal, vertical, diagonal, dot, and hook). Lightly stressed characters with standalone radicals are placed at the end. Characters with multiple pronunciations are listed separately, while characters with multiple meanings are listed as ①②③. Characters with weak word-formation abilities, as well as their phonetic items and meanings, are not included. Below each single character, example words formed from it are listed under the corresponding meanings, arranged by the number of characters in the word and the position of the single character within it. Example words with the same word-formation structure are arranged in pinyin order based on the non-single-character part. The example words collected are primarily those commonly used in ancient and modern times, with a limited number of idioms included. In example words, the same character as the single character head is replaced with a "~" symbol. Example words are separated by "|" symbols.
Index. At the end of this dictionary, there is an "Index of Single Characters by Stroke Count."
