Because composition can be obstructed by difficult words, I dared not refrain from personally reading and exploring. My humble mind achieved harmony with the elegant style of this compilation. I have recorded them in order without separate sections; for a single character, several definitions are provided. They are categorized according to the phonetic groups of the lips, teeth, throat, tongue, and molars These are the five traditional classifications of initial consonants in Chinese phonology. Where there are primary categories, they are followed, and where they cannot be practiced, I have included ancient forms to provide the benefit of reference and evidence, ensuring there are no errors or omissions in the intended meaning. After five years of emotional labor, the work was completed. The preceding list and subsequent additions total 413,382 words This indicates a massive, encyclopedic dictionary. Furthermore, I have separately recorded them on stone, carefully carving them to preserve the standard forms, hoping that they will not be mocked by the cunning or the clever. The time was the year Xin-mao, the second year of the Tianbao era [743 CE].
