| Brief Description: | The Xinhua Zidian has been popular for years as the best small, inexpensive, Chinese-only dictionary around. Indeed, no Chinese family could be without one, and an estimated 380 million copies are in print. Now this new edition, featuring the Chinese text from the 1998 revisions plus a full English translation, is sure to be as popular with students. Arranged alphabetically by Hanyu Pinyin, and including both simplified and traditional characters, the Zhuyin Fuhao (bopomofo) system of Taiwan, many appendices and tables, and with a durable binding and cover.
But the real bonus to users of this dictionary is the original Chinese text. This is not just a Chinese-English dictionary, but having the Chinese text enables you to see the corresponding Chinese definition, a great enhancement to learning accurate, contemporary language. A must-have reference for students and scholars! |
