Features: The publication of the "Intelligent and Fun Student Multifunctional Dictionary" is sure to be well-received by a wide range of primary and secondary school students and adolescents. Compared to other similar reference books, this dictionary has the following characteristics.
1. Meets the practical needs of secondary school students: This dictionary was compiled based on the requirements of the new "Outline for Chinese Language Teaching" and "Standards for Chinese Language Curriculum" issued by the Ministry of Education of China. It includes over 4,000 commonly used characters, along with related word combinations, idioms, example sentences, and more, totaling over 50,000 entries. The content far exceeds teaching requirements and the knowledge-seeking needs of primary and secondary school students.
2. Innovative layout and comprehensive functions: This dictionary breaks the traditional limitation of only providing definitions for characters. Instead, it first presents the character head and its phonetic elements, radicals, character structure, Wubi input method, phonetic order, radical, character formation method, and correct stroke order in a clear table format. Subsequently, readers can easily access the meaning, word combinations, example sentences, pronunciation correction, homophones, similar characters, synonyms, antonyms, idioms, and English translations with phonetic symbols for the character being searched.
3. Integration of traditional enlightenment education materials: China has always placed great importance on the education of children, referring to it as "early childhood education" or "nurturing education." Since the Zhou and Qin dynasties, numerous influential early learning textbooks have been compiled by various dynasties. This dictionary includes selected works such as the "Three-Character Classic," "Hundred Family Surnames," excerpts from the "Rules for Students," "Collection of Famous Scholars," and "Proverbs for Widening Knowledge." Many of these contents offer valuable enlightenment for primary and secondary school students, teachers, and parents.
4. Introduction to ancient outstanding culture: This dictionary also includes eighty selected ancient Chinese poems for primary and secondary school students to read. Each poem is accompanied by Pinyin, author biographies, and annotations, providing a preliminary understanding of China's rich cultural heritage. The "Short Stories of Diligent Study in Ancient Times" can inspire students' spirit of learning.
5. Diverse and practical appendices: The dictionary includes over twenty appendices, such as the "Code of Conduct for Primary School Students," "Daily Behavior Norms for Primary School Students," "Code of Conduct for Secondary School Students," "Daily Requirements for Secondary School Students," the "Pinyin Scheme," names of stroke orders for Chinese characters, common radicals (components), stroke order rules, usage of common punctuation marks, and the Wubi input method flowchart.
