1, word order search method
First, the initial consonant of a word is found according to the Chinese Pinyin Syllable Index, then the corresponding initial consonant is found in the initial consonant table to form syllables, and then the Chinese character is found by turning to a page in the dictionary according to the provided page number. More troublesome.
2. Radical search method
First, find the radical of the word according to the radical directory of the radical dictionary, then find the part in the dictionary according to the page number of the radical, and then count the remaining strokes except the radical, find the page number corresponding to the word and find the word. More trouble.
3. Stroke search method
If the above two methods fail, Xinhua dictionary directly uses a "violent" word search method, which has a "stroke index of difficult words", directly counts the number of strokes of words, and looks up words in the dictionary according to the corresponding page numbers. Sometimes I count strokes for a long time, only to find that I can't find them at all.
