In dictionary search, what other search methods can be used besides radical search and phonetic symbol search?

You can also use: four-corner number search method, several-stroke search method (in the list of difficult words), three-graph search method (quick and simple search method) and two-stroke search method.

Three-picture word search method

Using the stroke codes of the first stroke, the second stroke and the last stroke in the stroke order of Chinese characters, the stroke codes are: 1 horizontal (1), 2 vertical (2008), 3 vertical (2008), 4 o'clock (2008), 5 fold (2008) and 6 fold. According to these eight stroke codes, the Chinese characters are sorted by three-graph codes, and a three-graph look-up table is compiled. See Baidu Baiku. Used for word search.

Steps:

1. Find the stroke codes of the first, second and last stroke according to the stroke order of the searched words.

2. You can find the pronunciation and page number of the word by turning to the stroke code of the word in the three-picture search.

For example, the first horizontal (1) code [1] and the second vertical (2) code of the word "Za" can be identified, and finally the code (6) is folded, so it can be seen that the three word search codes of "Za" are "65438+".

When looking up Chinese characters, you can directly look up "126" in the three-figure Chinese character lookup table to find out the pronunciation and page number of the word "Za".
