Features: Chinese characters have continuously evolved over thousands of years in the course of history and will continue to do so—this is an inevitable part of history and a shining example of civilization. As old words fade away and new ones emerge, it becomes evident that their fundamental characteristics lie in their original meanings and extended meanings. Generally, "original meaning" conveys the core of the word, while "extended meaning" expands its scope. By grasping these two aspects, one can avoid misspellings. Additionally, there is a phenomenon of newly coined characters and vocabulary, which should not occur. Written characters should be understandable to others, and spoken words should be clear to listeners. This must be based on national regulations and social consensus, otherwise, it holds no meaning. The examples and explanations in this book strive to illustrate meanings from the perspectives of the original and extended meanings of characters and words, using concise and accessible language to provide readers with a relaxed experience in identifying meanings, thereby achieving a new realm of standardized use of Chinese characters and correct expression of ideas.
