The title of this book should be Wencheng Dictionary, which was printed in Daoguang period of Qing Dynasty. Dictionaries was written by Mei (Mei, born in Xuancheng). It was written in the forty-third year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty (16 15), with fourteen volumes * *. The first volume is the preface and encyclopedia. On the basis of inheriting the word-making form of Shuowenjiezi, he creatively simplified the radicals of Chinese characters from 540 to 265,438+04, which changed the defect of disordered arrangement of Shuowenjiezi, arranged them according to the number of strokes of radicals, and created a "dictionary table" for difficult words. At the beginning of each volume, a radical table is compiled, indicating the page numbers of each part for easy search and use. Because of its landmark improvement, Dictionary has become a model for later generations, and the old versions of Cihai and Kangxi Dictionary are all based on this book. After the publication of the dictionary, the radicals of Chinese characters are simplified, the compilation is novel and the use is convenient. Since then, after repeated engraving, it has been very popular until the end of the Qing Dynasty, and many dictionaries of the same type have appeared, such as Dictionary Supplement, Wentong Dictionary, Yutang Dictionary, Wencheng Dictionary and Zhengzitong. This book is badly printed. Whether it is printed later or not needs textual research, but it does not affect the edition age. If this book is intact, it is an antique in appearance and a rare collection of ancient books.
