Features: The entries in this dictionary are divided into single-character entries and multi-character entries. Single-character entries are displayed in larger fonts, while multi-character entries are listed below the single-character entries. This dictionary includes a total of 1,732 single-character entries, most of which are from the "List of Common Characters in Modern Chinese." It also includes approximately 5,744 multi-character entries, most of which are commonly used words in primary school textbooks as well as words frequently encountered by primary school students in their studies, daily lives, and extracurricular reading. This includes a small number of common technical terms and classical Chinese words. In accordance with the requirements of the "New Curriculum Standards for Compulsory Education Chinese Language" issued by the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China, 1,623 commonly used idioms by primary school students have been selectively included. All entries are annotated with Pinyin. Single-character entries are arranged in alphabetical order of Pinyin. Multiple multi-character entries under each single-character entry are also arranged in alphabetical order of Pinyin. Each single-character entry has a "Word Formation" section, listing words composed of that character. In addition to words where the character serves as the headword, it also widely includes words where the character appears in other positions. For example, under the "Word Formation" section for the character "" (love), a total of 52 words are listed, including not only headword words like "" (revere), "" (cherish), "" (love something so much that one cannot put it down), and "" (clearly distinguish between love and hatred), but also words where the character appears in other positions, such as "" (lovable), "" (friendly), "" (discriminate against the poor and favor the rich), and "" (reluctantly part with something one loves). This makes it easier for users to quickly find various words containing the character "."
