The revised edition of the Dictionary of Modern Standard Chinese has just been released，with more than 100new terms added to it．The new terms include weixin，or WeChat etc．There are also some older words recently used again and repurposed for contemporary （當代的） use，such as tuhao．Commonly used in the 1930s to refer to local persons who are rich but cruel，tuhao today laughs at a new privileged class that has appeared in China：people who are"extremely wealthy but lacking in education or values．"
But why did weixin and tuhao make the cut，while other popular terms were shut out？Not admitted to the new edition were such words as diaosi，shengnü，and baifumei．
Li Xingjian，the chief editor of the dictionary，said about 30language experts worked for more than three years to select the new terms．They took into account three main considerations：whether the term has entered public topic，whether the use of the term has become stable and whether the term meets a minimum level of tastefulness．
"We considered and discussed a huge list，"Mr．Li said．"A term like diaosi is not very tasteful，and it's unlikely to be used for much longer．And shengnü，we thought it wasn't that significant．It's used a lot by young people online，but otherwise people don't really use it．"
"On the other hand，tuhao has always been around．It has a mocking（嘲弄的） meaning，but it's not necessarily negative，"he said．"We think it'll stay around for a while，because in real life there really are these kinds of people and therefore a need to describe them．"
The Dictionary of Modern Standard Chinese，first published in 2004，is appreciated especially by scholars and those interested in contemporary usage．But it is not the first reference dictionary in China．That honor still goes to the New China Character Dictionary and the Contemporary Chinese Dictionary．Every five years，the Dictionary of Modern Standard Chinese is revised，with outdated words dropped to make room for new ones．
