First, this dictionary is arranged according to the radical indexing method of Kangxi Dictionary. After many revisions and revisions, it has completed a large-scale reference book. Second, before making a table, consider arranging it in pinyin order. This must be arranged horizontally, and it is difficult to arrange the layout because of frequent line breaks. If it is changed to horizontal version, it will be too thick to spread horizontally, and the span will be too large, so it is difficult to bind firmly and it is inconvenient to use. I can't find a suitable way at the moment, so I have to give up horizontal arrangement and change it to vertical arrangement. Therefore, it is logical to use radical index instead. This method is also used by calligraphers and most calligraphy practitioners. Thirdly, there are some shortcomings in the classification of radicals: 1, and some words don't know which radical they belong to, such as "harmony, yin, greatness and love". 2. The number of strokes of some words is different from ancient times to the present, often more ancient than today, such as: merging, making 8 paintings in ancient times and making 6 paintings today; Tiles and artists painted 6 or 9 pictures in ancient times, but now they paint 5 or 8 pictures. For example, there are also individual figures, few in ancient times and many today. For example, the word "this" was five paintings in ancient times and six paintings today. Therefore, if you can't find the words you need, you'd better look down a few pages or look up the pinyin index first. Fourth, the words that are too big in the collection of famous works are sometimes reduced and added: "(omitted)". Among them, the words "Cliff Stone Carvings on Yunfeng Mountain, Children's Poems on Watching the Sea, Classic Poems, Cliff Stone Carvings on Qi Road, Stone Door Ode, Ode to the West and Summer City North" should be marked with the word "shrink" if there are less than two columns. There are also a large number of calligraphy traces in Ming and Qing dynasties, which are generally selected from banners and couplets. , all of the above have been restored without annotation. In addition, this kind of book traces, as well as the original posts with black characters on a white background, such as Sun's Book Spectrum and Huai Su's Autobiography Post, have all become white characters on a black background, making the layout unified and beautiful. As far as the origin of the dynasty is concerned, except for special circumstances, Zhou, Han and Jin do not distinguish between east and west, and Song does not distinguish between north and south. Six generations, generally included in the last generation, such as Wang Duo into the Ming Dynasty, sent his ancestors into the Northern Wei Dynasty. But some of them were brought into the next dynasty, such as Gui Zhuang who entered the Qing Dynasty, and many of them were approachable. In fact, they were born in the Qing Dynasty. Seven, there are not many traces of variant characters and common characters, which are generally combined with the original. When there are many, separate them and set up another one. But it is also possible that the arrangement is incomplete. There are also some words that are listed as two radicals such as salt, Yan and Yan in Kangxi Dictionary and have not been deleted. Eight, in order to change, different versions of storytelling are adopted, so there are squares, circles and small ones. In addition, different versions of the same word sometimes appear on the same tablet to show the differences between them, such as two kinds of regular script of Cao Zhen's thousand-character script, cluster posts and the original tablet, and Li Bian and the original tablet. By the way, here is the question of official appraisal. This was written by Gu Aiji in Qing Dynasty according to Lou Ji's The Origin of Han Li in Song Dynasty. After the second copying, it has actually become a handwritten book, which has long been unrecognizable. Compared with the words listed in the original tablet, the words listed in this book are clearly distinguishable, but it is based on the rubbings of the Song Dynasty, and many words in the rubbings have been lost, deleted or blurred. In other words, it retains many special writing methods and words that are not available elsewhere, which is why this book adopts it. As a matter of fact, these words can be changed to "sentimental bone laments the extreme" or "sentimental bone laments the change of Ji Li". Nine, in this dictionary, there are three kinds of tablets with Wang Xizhi's words: Preface to Ci Collection and Broken Tablet of Xiaofu Temple were collected by Shi Huairen and Shi Daya in Tang Dynasty respectively, and both of them were marked as "Wang Xizhi in Jin Dynasty". Unique "King's Books and Diamond Sutra Collection" notes Tang. Because of the large area involved, we will not correct them one by one. Apart from explaining it here, it is only in Appendix 2, and it is placed after the first two, and it is not classified as Tang. Ten, about Shi Guwen, Zhou Wenwang, Zhou Xuanwang and Zhou Chengwang in the Tang Dynasty. Since the Song Dynasty, it has been designated as Duke Du of Qin (Western Weekend), Qin Wengong, Qin Mugong (Eastern Zhou Dynasty) and so on, so it was recently renamed Qin Shi Guwen. The result is confused with the habit of Qin and Han Dynasties. In fact, Qin Xiang, Qin Wen and Qin Mugong all belong to the Zhou Dynasty, so this book is marked as "Shi Guwen of Qin Zhou". Qin here is the state of Qin, so the dynasty and country name are very clear. Eleven, the word "*" indicates that his book has been included in this book. This category includes ancient and popular characters, variant characters (cover and cover, painting and painting, etc. ), ancient Chinese characters (such as dust and dust, ceremony and ceremony, etc. ) and borrowed other characters (such as Yun Yun, Fang, Various, Shun, Ye, Inner, Curtain and Hou). ). Those without * include the following four situations: 1, provincial text (such as consideration, number, reply, refusal, electricity, affairs, etc. ), and these words have actually been included in this book. 2. Words derived from cursive script (such as calligraphy, specialist, etc.). ) Except for a few simplified Chinese characters, its cursive script has been included in this book. 3. Popular Chinese characters (drafting, writing, etc. ) Since the Qing Dynasty; Fourth. New words (transportation, transportation, currency, key, state, health, transfer, etc.) ). These words are naturally untraceable. Twelve, some words with * can not be found according to the number of strokes of radicals, but can be found according to the pinyin index. This situation mainly occurs between variant characters and prototype characters, and there is no simplified word of prototype characters in this book. Therefore, when you encounter "*", you'd better check the Pinyin Index first. Thirteen, in the list of calligraphers' traces attached to this dictionary, the age of the inscription is marked. Calligraphers also listed their characters, numbers and dates of birth and death. Those who don't know the date are arranged in the order of their contemporaries, or attached at the end. Fourteen, China's calligraphy is extensive and profound. Although he sincerely sought for a collection, it was difficult to complete it. If there are any shortcomings in the compilation, I hope readers can criticize it at any time so as to correct it.
