Features:
1. This dictionary includes over 830 entries related to performance, covering three major categories: drama, traditional Chinese opera, and film (television).
2. The entries in the main body of the dictionary are arranged in Pinyin order.
3. The main body entries are printed in bold, with toneless Pinyin annotations.
4. Foreign names and titles of works in the dictionary are, where possible, followed by their original foreign names.
5. Foreign names, foreign works, and specialized terms are, where possible, translated using commonly accepted translations. For foreign works without existing Chinese translations, the dictionary provides the translated versions for reference.
6. Regarding the chronology of actors' works, the language of the work titles is based on the language of their original release, arranged by release year.
7. Film actors' works primarily focus on films, with TV works listed separately, marked with "(TV)" after the title, or indicated as "TV series" directly after the name.
8. If an entry has multiple meanings, it is explained in subpoints (1, 2, 3, etc.). Within the same meaning, separate points (1, 2, 3, etc.) are used for distinct descriptions.
9. For entries with multiple names, only one name is explained, and the others are not.
10. The dictionary provides three search methods: categorical search, Pinyin search, and stroke search.
11. Entries introducing works only summarize the sections related to performance, excluding sections unrelated to performance.
