Which dict?

When your understanding is being filtered through a dictionary, the choice of dictionary becomes very important.

I've wondered in the past if I had gotten the Wiseman/Feng PD when I first started studying CM (rather than non-specialized dictionaries) would my current understanding of the field be much different. I think it would.

I'm starting a translation project of 《西国记法》written in 1595, and I'm going to be careful in my selection of dictionaries. I'm going to stick with only Chinese-Chinese dictionaries, starting with a modern one - 《现代汉语规范词典》on Pleco.
