Features: This dictionary is designed for use by primary school teachers and students, focusing on helping readers find appropriate measure words for describing people and things, as well as understanding common collocations and usage of concrete and abstract nouns. The dictionary lists nouns as entries, including 1,160 common concrete and abstract nouns. After the pinyin pronunciation of each entry, parentheses generally provide common collocations for the noun. When multiple collocations exist, they are separated by a space, and below them, the term "measure words" is listed, followed by individual measure words, collective measure words, measure words for length, weight, and volume, and temporary measure words. When multiple measure words are listed, they are separated by commas. Nouns that can only be paired with "," "," "," or "," such as "country," "impression," or "apple," are generally not included. For certain nouns, such as names of plants and animals, only the most common and frequently used ones are included, and the principle of "categorization" is appropriately applied, or only the generic names are listed. For example, only "tree" is listed, and the measure words applicable to "tree" are also applicable to "pine tree," "ginkgo tree," etc. Nouns like "pine tree," "ginkgo tree," etc., are not listed as separate entries. However, some nouns, such as "pine tree," "green pine," or "white poplar," are frequently used in literary metaphors, so the dictionary still lists them and notes "See 'tree' on page 220" after the usage section. The same applies to others. Entries are arranged in the order of Pinyin letters, with Pinyin annotations provided for each entry. Light tones are not marked with tone marks. The measure words listed for each entry are designed to align with the social conventions and rhetorical needs of the language. Measure words preceded only by the numeral "" or demonstrative pronouns "" and "" are enclosed in parentheses. Measure words preceded only by the numeral "" are enclosed in parentheses. This dictionary provides exemplary usage examples for each noun and its applicable measure words, demonstrating the active use of the measure word in a sentence, marked with the term "Usage." Difficult characters within the main text of the dictionary are provided with Pinyin annotations in parentheses. At the beginning of the main text, there is an "Index of Entries by Pinyin," and at the end of the main text, there is a "List of Nouns and Measure Words."
