Features: This dictionary is a new type of dictionary that primarily explains the meanings of single Chinese characters as morphemes. Its unique feature lies in listing words composed of the same morpheme according to their different morphemic meanings. For example, the character "" (lǐng) has various meanings in different words. When referring to a collar, it appears in words like "" (necktie), "" (round collar), and "" (pointed collar); when referring to key points, it appears in words like "" (outlines), "" (main points); when referring to leadership, it appears in words like "" (team leader), "" (pilot), "" (commander), and "" (lead); when referring to possession, it appears in words like "" (territory), "" (field), "" (territorial sea), and "" (possession); when referring to acceptance, it appears in words like "" (learn from), "" (appreciate), and "" (accept); when referring to understanding, it appears in words like "" (comprehend) and "" (appreciate); when referring to receiving, it appears in words like "" (receive a reward), "" (take a risk), and "" (claim); when referring to a leader, it appears in words like "" (chief) and "" (general). The compilers of this book have conducted meticulous analysis and research to determine the morphemic meanings of different compound words, organizing related words around these meanings and listing them separately.
