Features: The publication of "Zhiiq Student Multifunctional Dictionary" is sure to be well-received by a wide range of primary and secondary school students and adolescents. Compared to other similar reference books, this dictionary has the following characteristics.
1. Meets the practical needs of secondary school students: This dictionary was compiled based on the requirements of the new "Outline for Chinese Language Teaching" and "Standards for Chinese Language Curriculum" issued by the Ministry of Education of China. It includes over 4,000 commonly used characters, along with related word formation, idioms, example sentences, and more, totaling over 50,000 entries. The content far exceeds teaching requirements and the knowledge-seeking needs of primary and secondary school students.
2. Innovative layout and comprehensive functions: This dictionary breaks the traditional limitation of only providing definitions for characters. It first presents the character head, its phonetic syllable, radical, character structure, Wubi input method, phonetic order, radical, character formation method, and correct stroke order in a clear table format. Subsequently, readers can obtain the necessary knowledge about the character, such as its meaning, word formation, example sentences, pronunciation correction, homophones, similar characters, synonyms, antonyms, idioms, and English translations with phonetic symbols.
3. Integration of traditional enlightenment education materials: China has always placed great emphasis on the education of children since ancient times, referring to this as "early childhood education" or "nurturing education." Since the Zhou and Qin dynasties, many influential early learning textbooks have been compiled in each dynasty, such as the "Three-Character Classic," "Hundred Family Surnames," and excerpts from "The Rules for Students," "Collection of Famous Scholars," and "Compendium of Proverbs," among others. Many of these contents are highly enlightening for primary and secondary school students, teachers, parents, and other readers.
4. Introduction to ancient outstanding culture: This dictionary also includes eighty ancient Chinese poems for primary and secondary school students to read. Each poem is accompanied by Pinyin, author biographies, and annotations, enabling students to gain a preliminary understanding of China's outstanding cultural heritage. "Short Stories of Hard Study in Ancient Times" can inspire students' spirit of learning.
5. Diverse and practical appendices: The dictionary includes appendices such as: the "Code of Conduct for Primary School Students," "Daily Behavior Norms for Primary School Students," "Code of Conduct for Secondary School Students," "Daily Requirements for Secondary School Students," the "Phonetic Scheme of Chinese," the "Names of Chinese Character Strokes," the "Common Radicals (Side Parts) and Stroke Order," the "Rules for Writing Chinese Character Stroke Order," the "Brief Table of Usage for Common Punctuation Marks," and the "Flowchart for Wubi Input Method," among over twenty others.
