Features: In daily Chinese usage, there are a large number of rich and colorful idioms and allusions-containing words. They are concise in meaning, vivid in imagery, and highly expressive, hence they have always been deeply loved by people. Learning and mastering the idioms in Chinese is a compulsory course for beginners in learning the language. This dictionary collects over 1,500 common idioms and allusions, arranged according to the Hanyu Pinyin transliteration method. All idioms that have appeared in new curriculum standard Chinese language experimental textbooks and frequently appear in extracurricular reading materials for primary school students are included, and the scope is appropriately expanded on this basis. The entries in this dictionary mainly consist of four parts: "Notes," "Explanations," "Stories," and "Example Sentences." The "Encyclopedic Dictionary" logo is derived from the transformation of the logo of the China Encyclopedia Press. It is a combination of patterns of a wadang and a compass. The wadang is an ancient Chinese architectural ornament, and the compass is one of the Four Great Inventions of ancient China. The logo symbolizes that encyclopedic dictionaries are well-founded and will resound when questioned.
