In terms of word formation, this book follows authoritative reference books and divides them into two types: compound words and simple words. Compound words are further categorized by their formation types, such as parallel, modifier-head, verb-object, subject-predicate, supplement, and affix (prefix, infix, suffix). Simple words are not marked with types. For idioms and phrases, their structural types are explained as parallel, modifier-head, verb-object, subject-predicate, supplement, serial, and co-subject structures, among others.

The definitions follow the principles of being concise, practical, and general. In terms of grammar, this book provides at least one example for the usage of each entry, which are simple sentences or phrases, to highlight the function of the central word as much as possible.
