Features: Proverbs are the crystallization of collective wisdom and are widely favored by the people. This dictionary includes nearly 7,000 common Chinese proverbs, categorized into main entries and "also known as" sections. To suit young readers, the dictionary features a large selection of proverbs that refine thinking, encourage learning, cultivate character, teach social conduct, and reflect contemporary values, aiming to inspire young readers to strive forward. At the same time, it does not shy away from certain seemingly negative proverbs to enhance readers' comprehensive understanding of the historical formation of human life experiences. To help young readers appreciate the universal commonalities of human wisdom, broaden their horizons, and expand their knowledge, the dictionary also includes selected foreign proverbs in English-Chinese bilingual form (listed at the end). These English proverbs are composed of basic and commonly used words, allowing readers who have studied English for several years to understand them without the need for additional reference materials.
