Features: Grand scale, comprehensive word selection, including over 140,000 entries. Primarily focused on language and literature, while also covering encyclopedic content, with the addition of numerous new words and meanings. Fully functional, bold innovation, pioneering the annotation of part of speech for all entries. The entries in this dictionary are primarily linguistic in nature, with encyclopedic coverage, and selectively include archaic terms and dialects. Entries are divided into single-character entries and multi-character entries. Multi-character entries include words and phrases, listed alphabetically under the leading single-character entries. The content following each entry includes Pinyin, part of speech, definitions, and examples. Some entries are annotated with register, style, or subject category as needed. Single-character entries are arranged in alphabetical order of Pinyin. Homophones with different tones are arranged by tone. Homophones with different forms are arranged by stroke count, with fewer strokes listed first. For entries with the same stroke count, they are arranged by the order of stroke shape: horizontal, vertical, hook, dot, and bend. If the stroke shapes are identical, they are arranged by the order of the second stroke, and so on.
