In addition to the external characteristics of character frequency,commonly used characters should possess stabili-ty,wide distribution,and the ability to form new characters and words.Chinese characters used to be examined on the basis of corpus selection,but it was not possible to quantify the characteristics of each character in different dimensions,and eventual-ly the glossary was constructed mainly through character frequency.Based on the language data from Language Situation in Chi-na(2007-2021),the article examines and analyzes the character frequency,stability,distribution and word-formation fre-quency and character-formation frequency in detail.And the entropy method was used to establish a comprehensive model for measuring the utility of Chinese characters and to construct a multi-dimensional glossary of commonly used characters.The comprehensive model built by entropy method measures and quantifies the utility of Chinese characters in a number of ways,and the ranking results are significantly different from those of previous glossaries.Once the research considers not only charac-ter frequency,but also the stability,distribution,and word-formation ability of characters from multiple dimensions,a large number of commonly used characters with these significant characteristics will occupy top positions in the glossary.Therefore,a glossary of commonly used characters created from comprehensive consideration is more scientific and logical.
