As China's first modern Chinese dictionary, "Xinhua Dictionary" was published in 1953. It has gone through more than ten large-scale revisions by hundreds of experts and scholars over several generations. Its total distribution has exceeded 400 million copies, making it the highest circulated dictionary in the world's publishing history so far. The online Xinhua Dictionary (www.xhzd.org) provides online inquiries for the radicals, strokes, pronunciation, Wubi code, allusions, and related idioms of Chinese characters.
