Cihai
The ''Cihai'' is a large-scale Chinese dictionary and encyclopedia. The Zhonghua Book Company published the first ''Cihai'' edition in 1938, and the Shanghai Lexicographical Publishing House revised editions in 1979, 1989, 1999, and 2009. A standard bibliography of Chinese reference works (Teng and Biggerstaff 1971:134) calls the ''Cihai'' an "outstanding dictionary".
==Contents==
The ''Cihai'' is a semi-encyclopedic dictionary and enters Chinese words from many fields of knowledge, such as history, science, mathematics, philosophy, medicine, and law.
Chinese lexicography dichotomizes two kinds of dictionaries: traditional ''zidian'' (, lit. "character/logograph dictionary") for written Chinese characters and modern ''cidian'' ( "word/phrase dictionary") for spoken expressions. For example, the ''Hanyu Da Zidian'' for characters and ''Hanyu Da Cidian'' for words. The ''Cihai'', as the title indicates, is a ''cidian''.
The American sinologist George A. Kennedy, who wrote a student's guide to using the ''Cihai'' as the basis for sinological studies, said the dictionary's principal values are its (1953:85) "explanations for phrases and compound expressions" and (1953:131) "citations illustrating the use of words and expressions."
