Features: This comprehensive dictionary is designed with characters leading to words, combining the functions of a dictionary, a language and literature dictionary, and an encyclopedic dictionary.

The revised edition has slightly increased in length compared to the 1989 version, with extensive revisions to entries primarily reflecting changes in domestic and international situations, as well as developments in culture, science, and technology. It aims to fill gaps, correct errors, and streamline a small number of entries and definitions. The revised edition also introduces a color-illustrated version, featuring over 16,000 images, with a redesigned layout divided into four volumes, plus an appendix and an index volume. This dictionary includes 17,523 single-character entries, with additional 6,129 traditional characters and variant characters. The entries and the listed terms include both general and encyclopedic words, totaling over 105,400 entries.
