Features: This dictionary is designed for foreign students learning Chinese and can also serve as a teaching reference for Chinese as a second language instructors. Based on the needs of foreign language teaching and the "Outline for Chinese Vocabulary and Character Levels," which includes 8,822 commonly used words, the dictionary selects 420 sets of near-synonyms. It strives to clearly describe the differences and similarities in meaning, usage, and collocations for each set of near-synonyms, providing analysis within the descriptions. Additionally, the arrangement of the near-synonym sets offers multi-faceted comparisons, such as distinguishing between "jiǎrú (if), rúguǒ (if), shìyào (must)," "rú (like), rúguǒ (if)," and "ruò (if)," to ensure a comprehensive understanding. To aid foreign students in comprehension, both the annotations and example sentences are accompanied by English translations.
