Features: The word selection combines the linguistic characteristics of modern people, highlighting four "new" aspects: "new vocabulary," "new definitions," "new materials," and "new format." In terms of content, we strive to make it comprehensive and emphasize commonality and practicality. The Complete Chinese Dictionary is a comprehensive and widely applicable large-scale language reference book. The Practical Chinese Dictionary is a practical and multi-purpose language dictionary. Its starting point is practicality and versatility, aiming to include as much content as possible in a concise format for easy retrieval and portability, solving the problems of pronunciation, definitions, and usage of common characters and words. The selected words are widely practical and use standard, well-chosen language, with detailed and comprehensive content. While maintaining the traditional style of previous dictionaries, this one primarily includes standardized words, lists many common difficult and new words, and strictly follows relevant national standards for written and spoken language, truly achieving "appealing to both the refined and the masses." The Chinese Character Dictionary not only provides standardized phonetic transcriptions but also concise and clear definitions. In line with the principles of national language and character standardization, it strives to ensure standardized characters, clear fonts, and rich example sentences. In terms of word formation, it prioritizes modern new vocabulary, and in definitions, it uses common words as much as possible. The Ancient Chinese Dictionary collects tens of thousands of commonly used characters, words, disyllabic words, and frequently encountered ancient words from classical texts. Most of these words have the same meanings in both ancient and modern Chinese and are also commonly used in modern Chinese. The book features accurate definitions, logical organization, and scientific layout, with concise documentation and uniform style. It includes both simplified and traditional characters, as well as variant characters, and follows the sequence of phonetic transcription followed by explanation. The references and example sentences in the book primarily use well-known classical texts from ancient times, unrestricted by historical eras, and are relevant, clear, and easy to understand. The Idiom Dictionary is a unique and fixed phrase or short sentence that people have been using for a long time. Idioms are concise in form, profound in meaning, and highly allusive. Based on these characteristics of idioms, The Idiom Dictionary incorporates the essence of similar books, simplifies complexity, and provides clear and easy-to-understand definitions. The Proverb Dictionary has long been regarded as the "crystallization of the wisdom of the people" by the Chinese nation.
