Features: This series of reference books selects entries from the most commonly used colloquial terms in contemporary social interactions in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou. It excludes high-frequency words identical to the standard language and overly obscure dialectal terms. In the definitions of the five major languages, modern standardized foreign languages are primarily used for translation, supplemented by corresponding stylistic and contextual annotations in foreign languages to reflect the characteristics of the three typical dialectal colloquialisms as much as possible. The definitions strive for accuracy and conciseness, while examples are designed to be practical.
