Features: The publication of the "Intelligent and Fun Student Multifunctional Dictionary" is sure to be well-received by a wide range of primary and secondary school students and adolescents. Compared to other similar reference books, this dictionary has the following characteristics.
1. Meets the practical needs of secondary school students: This dictionary was compiled based on the requirements of the new "Teaching Program for Chinese" and "Chinese Curriculum Standards" issued by the Ministry of Education of China. It includes over 4,000 commonly used characters, along with related word formation, idioms, example sentences, totaling over 50,000 entries. The content far exceeds teaching requirements and the knowledge-seeking needs of primary and secondary school students.
2. Innovative layout and comprehensive functions: This dictionary breaks the traditional limitation of only providing definitions for characters. It first presents the character head and its phonetic syllable, radical, character structure, Wubi input method, phonetic order, radical, character formation method, and correct stroke order in a clear table format. Subsequently, readers can obtain the necessary knowledge for the character they are searching for, including its definitions, word formation, example sentences, pronunciation correction, homophones, similar characters, synonyms, antonyms, idioms, English translations, and phonetic symbols.
3. Integration of traditional enlightenment education materials: China has always placed great emphasis on the education of children, referring to it as "early childhood education" or "nurturing education." Since the Zhou and Qin dynasties, many influential early learning textbooks have been compiled in each era. This dictionary includes selected works such as the "Three-Character Classic," "Hundred Family Surnames," excerpts from "The Rules for Students," "The Collection of Famous Scholars," and "The Enriching Classic," which offer significant enlightenment for primary and secondary school students, teachers, and parents.
4. Introduction to outstanding ancient Chinese culture: This dictionary also includes eighty selected ancient Chinese poems for primary and secondary school students to read. Each poem is accompanied by Pinyin, author biographies, and annotations, providing a preliminary understanding of China's rich cultural heritage. The "Short Stories of Diligent Study in Ancient Times" can inspire students' spirit of learning.
5. Diverse and practical appendices: The dictionary includes over twenty appendices, such as the "Code of Conduct for Primary School Students," "Daily Behavior Norms for Primary School Students," "Code of Conduct for Secondary School Students," "Daily Requirements for Secondary School Students," the "Pinyin Scheme," the "Names of Strokes in Chinese Characters," the "Common Radicals (Side Characters) and Stroke Order," the "Rules for Writing Chinese Characters," a "Brief Table of Common Punctuation Usage," and the "Wubi Input Method Flowchart for Chinese Character Encoding."
