Features: Chinese characters are the world's oldest and most widely used writing system. With thousands of years of history, the splendid and brilliant history and culture of the Chinese nation have been inherited and carried forward by Chinese characters. The historical achievements of Chinese characters are great and will never be erased. Chinese characters are not only the official script of the People's Republic of China today but also an internationally recognized script—the United Nations recognizes it as one of its six official working languages. Chinese characters will continue to serve as the legal script for China's socialist four modernizations in the coming long historical period. Therefore, the standardization and normalization of Chinese characters to facilitate application and improve communication efficiency are the guidelines and tasks of China's new era language and character work. This is the guideline and task of China's new era language and character work proposed by the Central Committee and the State Council in January 1986. The "Dictionary for Differentiating Polyphonic and Polysemous Chinese Characters for Students" is an extremely useful reference book designed to serve this purpose. This dictionary systematically collects data on polyphonic characters in modern Chinese characters, revealing their inherent patterns in terms of historical origin, evolution, and current status. At the same time, it analyzes and differentiates them based on pronunciation, form, meaning, and usage, which is very helpful for students in primary and secondary schools to learn Chinese characters and for teachers to teach Chinese and Chinese characters. It helps readers better identify, recognize, master, and use polyphonic characters, making it a uniquely ingenious work.
