1. Words used incorrectly are placed within parentheses in words, phrases, or sentences, followed by the correct word and then an analysis.
2. Incorrectly used words include misspellings and non-standard characters. For variant characters, the book no longer follows the original dictionary's stance that both forms are acceptable, but instead adheres to the recommended forms as published in the "Trial List of Standardized Variant Characters" issued by the Ministry of Education and the State Language Commission on March 31, 2002, and the "Standardized Dictionary of Modern Chinese Variant Characters" published by Shanghai Popular Science Press.
3. In addition to words that are homophonic or phonetically similar and easily confused, the book also includes: ① characters with similar shapes.
4. The analysis generally involves three aspects: character form, pronunciation, and meaning.
5. The book includes a stroke index and a phonetic index at the beginning for easy reference.
