Features: This dictionary includes over 3,200 antonyms with opposite or relative meanings, excluding four-character fixed phrases with antonyms. The main body of the dictionary is arranged in the order of Chinese Pinyin. Entries with the same first character are sorted by the second character's Pinyin, and so on. The main body includes: headword, phonetic annotation, definition, examples, corresponding antonyms and examples, and notes. Headwords are established based on common and frequently used terms. Headwords with homophonic homographs are annotated with "also written as ××". Phonetic annotation: Headwords are annotated with standard Mandarin pronunciation according to the "Hanyu Pinyin Scheme"; a dot (·) before the Pinyin indicates a light tone. For variant pronunciations, the "Table for Determining the Standard Pronunciation of Variants of Common Spoken Words" is used as the basis. Definition: When a word has multiple meanings, only those with corresponding antonyms are included, numbered as ①②③④, etc. Meanings without corresponding antonyms are not included. Parenthetical annotations are used to explain the scope of use, relevant objects, and collocations of some meanings. Examples: Most use disyllabic words or phrases, with some presented as sentences; multiple examples are separated by "|", and the headword being explained is marked with "~". Notes: Primarily explain the meanings and usage of some words to help readers understand and use them accurately. At the end of the dictionary, there is an "Index by Stroke Order of Headwords" for readers to search.
