is the most common and complete of all Chinese dictionaries for common use.

The I Wan Pi Lan (�Z������), ‘A Complete Exhibition of all the Authorized Characters,’ published in 1787; ‘furnishing,’ says Dr. Williams, ‘good definitions of all the common characters, whose ancient forms are explained.’

The Pei Wan Yun Fu (��������), generally known among foreigners as ‘The Kang-hsi Thesaurus.’ It was undertaken by an imperial order, and published in 1711, being probably, as Wylie says, ‘the most extensive work of a lexicographical character ever produced.’ It does for the phraseology of Chinese literature all, and more than all, that the Kang-hsi dictionary does for the individual characters. The arrangement of the characters is according to their tones and final sounds. My copy of it, with a supplement published about ten years later, is in forty-five large volumes, with much more letter-press in it than the edition of the Dynastic Histories mentioned on p. 133.

The Ching Tsi Tswan Ku, ping Pu Wei (�g�y��(���W�W�U)���}�� ��), ‘A Digest of the Meanings in the Classical and other Books, with Supplement,’ by, or rather under the superintendence of, Yuan Yuan (p. 132). This has often been found useful. It is arranged according to the tones and rhymes like the characters in the Thesaurus.
