Chinese Chinese paper dictionary

[Erbse]

Hey guys, I'm new here and have a question

I'm looking for a Chinese - Chinese dictionary made for learners.

Explanations should use a simple set of common hanzi.

I used the search, but only only electronic versions are discussed, I need something on paper. Would be plus if it is available in Europe, maybe by Amazon.

When I was learning English I used "Oxford advanced learners dictionary" and I really like the quality and size of that book. Is there something comparable for Chinese learners?

Although not aimed at learners, the 现代汉语词典 is an excellent Chinese-Chinese dictionary. The link above is to Amazon's Chinese site. I'm not sure if they deliver overseas, if not, you might try contacting the folks at Study Chinese Culture and see if they can get it for you.

Don't know about online availability, but there are two books I would like to recommend to you:

现代汉语八百次 商务印刷管 This book is great and might be what you are looking for.

ISBN 7-100-02197-9/H x 609

The other one is an HSK book:

Chinese Proficiency Test Vocabulary Guideline 汉语 8000词词典 A Dictionary of Chinese Usage: 8000 Words 北京语言大学 ISBN 7-5619-0794-x

Hope it helps!
