Controversies

Xiandai Hanyu Cidian had given discriminatory explanations to certain words and phrases. An example was the word "homosexuality" (simplified Chinese: 同性恋; traditional Chinese: 同性戀; pinyin: tóngxìngliàn). From the first edition in the 1970s (the entry in that edition is 同性恋爱 tóngxìng liàn'ài - literally 'same-sex love')^[10] to the fifth edition in 2005 of Xiandai Hanyu Cidian, the definition of the term had been "determined" as "a type of psychological perversion".^[11] In the 2012 6th edition & 2016 7th edition, the term was redefined as "sexual behaviour between persons of the same sex".^[12]^[13]

In the sixth edition, even though it contains a large number of new vocabulary, the word

Communist Party of China, according to Sociology Professor Ding Xueliang [zh] of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.^[14] The original term is a common form of political address in China, e.g. Comrade Hu Jintao, Comrade Wen Jiabao

.

Some detractors complained that "Entries starting with the Western alphabet" section in the 6th edition allegedly violated the regulation - "Chinese language publications shall comply with the norms and standards of the Standard Spoken and Written Chinese language" in laws such as the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Standard Spoken and Written Chinese Language [zh] and Publication Control Regulations of the State Council (State Council Act No. 594). The act of using English vocabulary in the main body of a Chinese dictionary, and using English to substitute for Chinese characters, according to these detractors, will cause the greatest damage to the Chinese characters since the romanization of Chinese, and will have a long-term negative impact on the language.^[15]

The publisher, the Commercial Press, replied that the section is meant just for easy references when looking up the dictionary. The Commercial Press says that according to a rule stated in a 2010 document by the State Council Office Secretariat, alphabetical entries recorded in Chinese dictionaries written by state authorities did not have corresponding Chinese translations. Hence, it is absolutely fine to include them in dictionaries.^[16]
