Features: This dictionary adheres to the principle of "including both ancient and modern terms and emphasizing their origins" as stated in the Great Chinese Dictionary. It contains nearly 25,000 ancient and modern idioms, totaling over 3 million words. All the entries are strictly defined as idioms, and other non-idiomatic fixed phrases such as proverbs, colloquialisms, and set phrases are generally excluded. Nevertheless, this book can still be considered "comprehensive" among serious idiomatic dictionaries. It is intended for readers with intermediate to advanced education levels for study and reference purposes.
