On July 26, the 13th edition of Xinhua Dictionary was officially released in Beijing.
Xinhua Dictionary is the Chinese dictionary most commonly used by Chinese people.
Since its first publication in 1953, it has accompanied Chinese people for more than 70 years and has sold more than 700 million copies in total.
This newly published edition has undergone many changes.
To keep up with the times, the dictionary has added some new words, such as artificial intelligence, cloud services, and navigation.
The meanings of some words have also changed.
In the past, the word “media” mainly referred to newspapers, radio, and television; now it also includes the internet.
These new additions reflect advances in technology and changes in people’s lives.
In addition to new words, the dictionary has also updated the latest information about the populations and areas of countries around the world.
To make learning easier for primary and secondary school students, the dictionary has also added some Chinese characters that appear in language textbooks.
Today, people can not only use the print dictionary but also look up words with a mobile app or a WeChat mini program.
On a phone, we can not only look up the meaning of a character, but also listen to its correct pronunciation and see how to write it stroke by stroke. It is very convenient.
Xinhua Dictionary is not just a reference book; it also records the development of Chinese society.
Over the years, it has helped many people learn Chinese characters and acquire new knowledge.
Whether they are ordinary Chinese students or foreigners learning Chinese, this dictionary is a useful helper for everyone learning about Chinese characters.
