Features: This dictionary includes 7,700 common characters, corresponding to over 4,850 numbers, with an average of only 1.6 characters per number. Most homonymous characters are almost on the same page. If arranged by Pinyin, each syllable would need to carry nearly 20 characters. Even if the correct Pinyin is found, one often needs to search through homophones again. If arranged by radical, each radical would need to carry nearly 40 characters, and the radical order is not as standardized as the alphabet, requiring the calculation of stroke counts and arranging them in the order of horizontal, vertical, hook, dot, and fold. Even after locating the radical, one still needs to repeat the above steps to find the character. The number-based lookup method solves the problem of efficiently and systematically searching for characters using their shapes. With the Dictionary of Chinese Characters and Numbers, character lookup becomes instantly effortless and fast, which will greatly inspire people's interest in using dictionaries. Increased interest, in turn, will naturally accelerate the improvement of the entire nation's cultural literacy. Since the stroke forms are strictly extracted according to the national standard stroke order, this lookup method also helps people learn and use standardized characters. Experts believe that the publication of the Dictionary of Chinese Characters and Numbers is a major event in the history of Chinese lexicography. It will have a profound impact on China's language education and the broader cultural and educational cause.
