Features: This dictionary includes over 2,000 common idioms, proverbs, colloquialisms, and allusions in modern Chinese, making it a comprehensive and highly practical reference tool. The entries in this dictionary are arranged in the order of the pinyin letters of the single-character words. If the syllables are the same but the tones differ, they are arranged in the order of yinping, yangping, shangsheng, and qusheng. If the pronunciation of the single-character word is the same but the characters differ, they are arranged according to the stroke order. If the pronunciation and character of all characters in the entry are identical, they are arranged according to the pinyin of the second character, and so on. This dictionary explains each entry from seven aspects: "Pinyin," "Definition," "Examples," "Analysis," "Usage," and "Synonyms." The number of functions for each word varies depending on the specific situation.
Pinyin: Each word is annotated with Pinyin, and syllables are separated. The variant tones of words like "" (yī) and "" (bù) in idioms are not marked.
Definition: The primary meaning or literal meaning is explained first, followed by the extended meaning, and finally, the difficult characters or words in the entry are explained.
