This innovative dictionary is compiled based on the rhythm of the modern Chinese characters, which makes it easy and convenient to look up the word. With the original layout design and handmade Chinese art paper, this dictionary is more than just a utility dictionary. It is also a treasurable book that is of great collection value.

 

About Mao-Style Calligraphy:（毛体书法）
Mao Zedong (aka Chairman Mao) was a skilled Chinese calligrapher with a highly personal style. In China, Mao was considered a master calligrapher during his lifetime. His calligraphy can be seen today throughout mainland China. His work gave rise to a new form of Chinese calligraphy called "Mao-style" or Maoti, which has gained increasing popularity since his death. There currently exist various competitions specializing in Mao-style calligraphy.
