Features: Yang Shudu was one of the most outstanding scholars in the field of primary education during the Republican era. His Ci Qian (A Dictionary of Chinese Idioms) is a representative work in the study of Chinese characters, explaining function words. The author's original intention was to make readers understand that words have no fixed definitions, and whether they are considered "virtual" or "real" depends on their usage, and one should not be rigid in interpretation. The book was originally designed to complement the author's Advanced Chinese Grammar, with the former explaining words and the latter explaining grammar. After readers study both books together, they can better grasp the grammar of classical Chinese and achieve twice the result with half the effort in reading.
