Features: "The Great Dictionary of Chinese Ethnic Minority Cultures" is a large-scale specialized dictionary. It includes approximately 25,000 entries related to 55 ethnic minorities in China. The entries in this dictionary use either Chinese names or Chinese translations of ethnic language names. For terms with multiple names, the more commonly used name of the ethnic group is selected as the main entry, while the others are explained in the definition without additional cross-references. The person entries in this dictionary are selected based on traditional consensus and those who have made significant contributions to ethnic culture, with representative selections. The dictionary is accompanied by colorful images of each ethnic group. With the deepening of China's reform and opening-up, and the economic development of ethnic groups, the corresponding ethnic cultures have attracted global attention. To help more Chinese and foreign individuals understand China and the cultures of its ethnic minorities, this dictionary serves as a means of promoting and glorifying China's ethnic minority cultures.
