Features: This is a compact, linguistic dictionary focused on language prediction. The dictionary includes 1,040 predicted words. Entries are arranged in the order of Pinyin letters. For identical readers, they are ordered by stroke count; if stroke count is the same, they are arranged by the order of horizontal, vertical, hook, dot, and fold strokes. Arabic numerals are arranged according to the corresponding Chinese characters. Letter words are arranged by the corresponding letters, with lowercase letters before uppercase letters. After each entry, Pinyin is marked by syllables. Arabic numerals and letters are not marked with Pinyin, and neutral tones are not marked with tones. The explanatory part generally includes derogatory meanings, examples, and certain explanations of the color, composition, and origin of some words. Multi-sense entries are distinguished by "also refers to X." Example sentences are enclosed in quotation marks. Color is noted as "contains × meaning" or "has × color," while composition and origin are noted as "imitates ×," "(also) imitates × (and correspondingly)," "forms a (and correspondingly)," or "named after ×××." Some entries also involve the relationship between the word and other related words, marked as "see [××]" for further reference. Related words with multiple entries are arranged in the order of Pinyin letters. The characters used in the entries follow the current standard Chinese characters. The dictionary includes a stroke index at the beginning of the main text. For identical stroke counts, the order is determined by horizontal, vertical, hook, dot, and fold strokes. Arabic numerals are arranged according to the corresponding Chinese characters in stroke count, with the numeral "4" (which corresponds to the character "" as a five-stroke vertical) appearing before the character "" when both are present. Letters are placed before the corresponding stroke count characters. For example, the English letter "T" is considered a two-stroke character and is placed before two-stroke characters. Identical stroke count letters are arranged in alphabetical order.
