Features: "Life becomes confusing upon learning to read and write," as the saying goes. Chinese characters are indeed difficult to recognize, learn, and write. However, if taught and learned properly, these difficulties can be greatly reduced. How to do it properly? One important aspect is to cultivate the habit of following the national standards for reading and writing from the beginning, which means correctly mastering the form, sound, and meaning of Chinese characters. In current primary school literacy teaching, there has always been a lack of standardization, and primary education has also shaped the writing habits of many people in society. This dictionary is compiled based on relevant national standards, making it convenient for students to learn Chinese characters and for teachers to teach them. Frequently consulting this "silent teacher" can help everyone correctly master the form (including stroke order), sound, and meaning of Chinese characters, cultivate good habits, and it can also be used and referenced by adults in society. The dictionary includes 3,500 common and less common characters, plus 1,120 characters used in primary and secondary schools. Not only does it cover all the characters in currently circulated primary school Chinese textbooks, but it also includes over 99% of daily-use characters.
