Features: This dictionary includes 3,500 commonly used Chinese characters, with each character as a separate entry. The book is written in standardized calligraphy and is practical, as it is based on the following criteria:
- Characters collected according to the Modern Chinese Common Characters List;
- Character forms following the General Table of Simplified Chinese Characters (1986);
- Pronunciation based on standard Mandarin phonetics and the Review Table for Disputed Readings of Mandarin Words (1985);
- Stroke counts following the General Table of Modern Chinese Characters (1988);
- Stroke order following the Standardization of Stroke Order for Modern Chinese Characters.
Each character head is in standardized form, with the number of standardized strokes and stroke order listed below, along with structural explanations and hints for easily mistaken strokes. Following this method ensures correct stroke counts, proper stroke order, and avoids splitting characters incorrectly. Thus, it is highly suitable for primary school Chinese language teaching—both convenient for teaching and beneficial for learning. The book can also be used as supplementary material for teaching Chinese to non-native speakers.
