Features: The entries listed in this book are famous quotes or passages from canonical classics, philosophical treatises, historical records, poems, dictionaries, or novels that were later referenced by others without attribution. Unlike general collections of famous aphorisms or quoted sentences, this book includes entries based solely on whether they have been cited, regardless of whether they are considered aphorisms or famous quotes. Each entry typically includes the following components: annotations for difficult terms; translation and explanation of the entry; usage notes; references to the source and author; and special reminders for the entry. Entries with simple and clear language are exempt from annotations or explanations. Examples are generally arranged in chronological order. Different meanings are illustrated with separate examples. Main entries are arranged in the order of the Chinese phonetic alphabet. Entries with the same first character are ordered by the second character's phonetic sequence. Entries with the same phonetic but different written forms are ordered by stroke count. The book includes a "Phonetic Index of Entry First Characters" and a "Stroke Index of Entries" for easy reference.
