Hello,
I currently use the online dictionary provided by the Ministry of Education here:
However I am getting a bit sick of all of the definitions referring to poetry or Classical Chinese from the Tang Dynasty etc that I don’t know anything about.
Is there a better Chinese - Chinese dictionary available? I don’t need English definitions.
Thanks
I use http://www.nciku.com/ but I wouldn’t be surprised to hear that there’s better out there.
Not a serious student, but I like the hand-writing tool on nciku - that’s the sticky for me.
I’ve come across two sites with two different functions.
For Traditional Chinese sample sentences (例句), I use http://www.translateinto.com.
Here’s a dictionary to try out: http://kaifangcidian.com/han/han. This one gives lots of information regarding words, including sample sentences. The interface is Simplified, but it accepts Traditional character entries.

Do you not like the handwriting tool that comes on many Chinese IME’s?
Don’t know them - I don’t study that much. Shoot me an example.
Best there is!!!
Aren’t nciku & mdbg both Chinese-English dictionaries?
The original poster is requesting a Chinese-Chinese dictionary.
