The compilation of this dictionary was supported by the encouragement, guidance, and assistance of many experts and mentors. The renowned linguist, Mr. Wang Zongyan, wrote a lengthy preface for the dictionary and reviewed drafts of letters A, H, I, J, and T. Professor Chen Yongpei of the School of Foreign Languages at Sun Yat-sen University set aside his work and devoted significant time to meticulously reviewing the entire manuscript. Dr. Paul Meara, the former president of the British Association of Applied Linguistics and a lexicographer and corpus consultant at Longman Publishing Group, reviewed the English definitions and example sentences of the preliminary draft. I extend my heartfelt gratitude and respect to them.
