Features: Chinese characters are a precious cultural asset shared by both China and Japan. Although there are differences in pronunciation and meaning between Chinese and Japanese characters, there are also many similarities. Fully leveraging this characteristic can greatly assist Chinese learners in studying Japanese. Based on this, the "Modern Japanese Series" has introduced a new series of dictionaries—such as the "Japanese Character Pronunciation Dictionary," "Japanese Name Pronunciation Dictionary," and "Japanese Place Name Pronunciation Dictionary," which are arranged and searchable in the order of Chinese Pinyin, similar to China's "Xinhua Dictionary." Using the familiar lookup method of the "Xinhua Dictionary," users can quickly and accurately find Japanese vocabulary, pronunciation, and Chinese meanings. This dictionary also includes comprehensive search functions such as "Japanese Kana order retrieval" and "stroke order retrieval," which will significantly improve the efficiency of mastering Japanese. This dictionary is designed to address the difficulty of reading and recognizing Japanese names. Through statistical analysis, it selects 31,132 names that represent 99.9% of Japan's total population. Given that the same Chinese character can have multiple pronunciations and the same pronunciation can correspond to multiple characters in Japanese names, the main body of this dictionary is divided into two parts: characters (arranged by Chinese Pinyin) and Kana (arranged by Japanese Kana). The appendix includes a "Stroke Order Lookup Table," a "Comparison Table of Common Japanese Characters and Simplified Chinese Characters," and a "List of Kanji Used in Names," for reference.
