Everyone in China knows Xinhua Dictionary. The 12th edition(版次) of Xinhua Dictionary came out on Monday (August 10th, 2020). The 11th edition was in June, 2011. This time it has over 10,000 words and expressions(词语). There are some new words and expressions because of the Internet and social progress(社会进步).

The new dictionary includes(包括) more than 100 new words and expressions, such as "chu xin", "fen si", "jie ping", "er wei ma" (QR code), and "dian zan" (click the "like" button).

The 12th edition has a QR code on each page. Readers can scan(扫描) the code to learn how to write a word and hear the right pronunciation(发音).

This is the first time that Xinhua Dictionary not only has had a printed copy but also has had an app.
