Features: This dictionary includes over 18,000 entries, such as words, phrases, and idioms, primarily focusing on commonly used daily vocabulary. The main body of the dictionary is arranged in alphabetical order according to the Chinese Pinyin system. Entries with the same pronunciation and tone are sorted by the number of strokes in the Chinese characters, with fewer strokes listed first and more strokes listed afterward. The dictionary has five appendices. This dictionary adopts the stroke-based method for looking up characters. For specific lookup methods, refer to the "Stroke Lookup Table." Based on the practical needs of learning Chinese, we have marked some entries with common measure words; labeled certain prefixes and suffixes with "head" or "tail"; and marked the part of speech for most entries. The labeled part of speech is for reference only, but due to differences in language, the English translations of a small number of entries may not perfectly match the Chinese part of speech.
