The term"zuòfēng"(work style)in modern Chinese is derived from Japanese,which originally meant"style of artwork".Later,due to the development of the film industry and social politics,its meaning gradually shifted into"attitudes and behaviors(in terms of ideology,work,and life)".In this process,the meaning of"zuò"has shifted from the original"artwork"to"doing something",and the word formation ability of"fēng"has improved.Some entries in dictionaries on the term"zuòfēng"still have deficiencies and need further improvement.Mordern Chinese Standard Dictionary should timely supplement examples for the entry on"zuòfēng",while Modern Etymology and Chinese Great Dictionary should adjust the order of definitions,prioritizing earlier historical examples.Additionally,Encyclopedic Dictionary should supplement the entry on"zuòfēng"with accurate explanations.
