Features: To meet the diverse needs of readers, we began revising again in 1996. This revision added and deleted some words, modified some definitions, further implemented the regulations on language and characters issued by relevant national authorities in terms of character forms, pronunciations, traditional characters, and variant characters. All multi-character entries were annotated with phonetic symbols, most words were labeled with parts of speech, and additional hints were provided for the writing, reading, and usage of certain characters and words. A "Vocabulary" section was also added. These changes are efforts made to enhance the standardization and practicality of the dictionary. This book is a small-scale dictionary primarily focused on, mainly intended for readers with a junior high school education level, especially primary school teachers and students, for language learning and teaching. Over the past twenty years, it has received the care and attention of a broad readership, and many people have enthusiastically proposed revision suggestions.
