Contains 4100+ entries arranged by pinyin. There is an index by stroke order
at the end, as well as a bibliography listing all the sources quoted in
the dictionary. This dictionary is more inclusive than Sung Yuan yü-yen
tz'u-tien. It covers, for example, yulu, historical sources, biji, Buddhist
sources. More controversially, it also cites from later sources quoting
Song usage. The Song volume is part of a series of three, with two other
volumes on Tang-Wudai language by Jiang Jiansheng and Yuan language by Li
Chongxing.
We note here the completion of the most extensive and
authoritative dictionary of written Chinese:
