Features: The content of this book:
Surprise with one stroke
Not a penny spared
Kill two birds with one stone
When one rises, all rise with them
Relax and then work hard
A thousand miles in a day
Completely clueless
Achieve two goals with one effort
Do not do one thing, do not do the other
Press on with one impulse
Close as an armchair
A teacher in a single word
Done in one stroke
A lone opinion
Defeated and ruined
Meticulous
Exposure to the cold for ten days
A word worth a thousand pieces of gold
Two strokes:
People are not sages, who can avoid mistakes
A horse on a chopping block, I am the fish meat
Human face, peach blossoms
People abandon me and take me
A hair from a thousand oxen
Ten trees for a hundred years of people
Capture seven times and release seven times
Cut wood deeply
Powerless to follow one's heart
Three strokes:
Three visits to the thatched cottage
Three people become tigers
Three orders and five reprimands
Three pieces of paper without a donkey
Think thrice before acting
Use great talent improperly
Great righteousness destroys relatives
Late success
A thousand miles of sending goose feathers
A hundred worries yield one gain
Honeyed words, dagger in the heart
Oral eloquence
Everything is ready, just waiting for the east wind
Failure-proof
The door is as empty as a sparrow's nest
The gate is as bustling as a market
A small wizard meets a great wizard
The top beam is not upright, the lower beam is crooked
Writing becomes a chapter with the first stroke
Talented as eight
Openly encourage speech
Follow the leader
Repair the flock after losing the sheep
