Features: This Dictionary of Ancient Chinese is a medium-sized language reference book designed for readers with intermediate to advanced cultural backgrounds to learn ancient Chinese and read classical texts. The scope of words included in this dictionary consists of representative classical texts written in orthodox written language in ancient times, with a focus on texts from the pre-Qin and Han dynasties. The dictionary contains approximately 10,000 single characters, including not only commonly used characters but also some difficult ones, such as those used in personal and place names. Common variant characters are also included. The dictionary contains approximately 24,000 compound words. These compound words are primarily lexical in nature, with a small number of encyclopedic entries also included. The general principle is to select entries that are common in classical texts and require explanation based on the actual needs of readers reading ancient books. The dictionary is arranged in phonetic order. If a character head has multiple pronunciations, it will appear in the main text under each pronunciation. If other pronunciations differ in initial consonants or final vowels from the primary pronunciation, the character head will also appear under those pronunciations. Characters with two or more pronunciations are marked with serial numbers (1, 2, 3), with the most common pronunciation listed first.
