Abstract
Implicit cultural words in Chinese, such as color terms and numerals embedded with distinct cultural connotations, encompass both conceptual and cultural meanings. The acquisition of these Chinese implicit cultural words is vital yet challenging for learners. Presently, exportoriented Chinese dictionary applications serve as indispensable tools for learning Chinese vocabulary, playing a significant role in mastering implicit cultural words. This study conducts a comparative analysis of implicit cultural word definitions in four widely-used export-oriented Chinese dictionary applications (Pleco, LINE Dict, TrainChinese, and Panda), drawing on the cultural definitions found in the Modern Chinese Dictionary (7th Edition) application. The paper also advocates for the incorporation of standardized criteria, comprehensive definition content, and systematic regulations for implicit cultural words in export-oriented Chinese dictionaries.
