My daughter needed a Chinese-English dictionary for her National 5 Mandarin exam, and this is the one her teacher recommended. It seems to have all the necessary content for the school requirements for this level and beyond.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential for Mandarin lovers
Reviewed in India on 8 February 2019

I have recently started learning Mandarin Chinese.Initially I was learning the stuff online from different sites and Android Apps, but scrolling through them for hours was very painful to eyes.So I needed a full fledged dictionary that could save my time as well as eyes.I have always been a fan of Harper Collins dictionaries,So I decided to buy this dictionary.
The book is handy and easy to carry,contains 1200+ pages.
The dictionary contains almost every word from HSK 1 to 6 Vocabulary (I'm not saying ALL because I didn't count and match).Meanings are to the point given along Example Sentences.
What I found to be missing is the meaning and the Pinyin key of the Radicals given in the list of Chinese Radicals in the beginning of the book which is extremely important in order to identify Chinese characters though Pinyin key is given for the words containing those radicals which is secondary.Otherwise almost perfect.
Ultimately it solves my purpose, and I love it and recommend it.
Moreover thanks to Amazon as the Book was delivered before the date range given at the time of order.

4.0 out of 5 stars Only for Modern Mandarin
Reviewed in Canada on 19 March 2021

If you want to communicate with contemporary Chinese or read their writings, it's great. But it's of little use for reading the great literature of past centuries. Expectations are low since it's trying to do Chinese-English and English-Chinese in one massive book, but if the user wants to read anything but modern literature--and let's be honest there is a great body of literature that's not modern--it's not useful. Here's an example: the character shi4. It usually means the verb "to be" or "yes" TODAY. BUT in olden times it meant "this." No mention of this lack of coverage in the Collins. So I mention it to those who are ordering online and have no chance to inspect the book.

So find another dictionary if you want to read older literature. There are general dictionaries that cover both. My favorite general dictionary is still A New Practical Chinese-English Dictionary, published in 1973. It covers the literature and everyday speech, except for more recent terms. You can get the paperback on Amazon for less than $15 US. For only the classical era, the best is the one by Paul Kroll in 2017.
