Seven years after the publication of the fifth edition, the sixth edition of Contemporary Chinese Dictionary (CCD) comes out.

With the method of quantitative analysis, the paper examines the types and the amount of changes in the IWs of idioms in the 6th edition, aiming to analyze the possible causes, demonstrate its accomplishment and points out some remaining problems.
