| ### HSK level |
| All of the sentences came from sample sentences intended to describe a |
| particular word. HSK level (in the category name) signifies the HSK |
| level of the word this sentence describes. Note that "HSK level" is |
| 1-4. |
|
|
| ### Limitation |
|
|
| This is a search of all characters in each level, including the |
| characters that loner words are composed of. This is why even HSK |
| level 4 sentences can contain sentences in "limited 1." |
|
|
| For example, 作主 (zuo4zhu3) is an HSK level 4 word. It contains 2 |
| characters which both appear in other HSK level 1 words, and so the |
| sample sentence for 作主 (assuming that sentence contains no other |
| difficult words) might appear in the category "HSK 4; limited 1;" |
