About “Xiandai Hanyu Cidian”
The Xiandai Hanyu Cidian, also known as the Contemporary Chinese Dictionary, is a one-volume reference work for Standard Mandarin Chinese published by the Commercial Press. It was originally edited by Lü Shuxiang and Ding Shengshu and began compilation in 1958. Trial editions were released in 1960 and 1965, with internal printings in 1973. Due to the Cultural Revolution, the final version was not completed until 1977, and the first formal edition was published in December 1978. It was the first dictionary of the People's Republic of China to use Hanyu Pinyin for arrangement and included explanations in simplified Chinese. Subsequent editions were released in 1983, 1996, 2002, 2005, 2012, and 2016. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
