Features: Chinese idioms are well-hammered-out, concise, and incisive fixed phrases or short sentences, serving as important linguistic materials. Idioms are characterized by their conciseness, vividness, and ability to highlight the essence. Most idioms consist of four characters, with relatively fixed structures, and their meanings are conventionalized, not to be changed arbitrarily or rephrased. Idioms generally have specific origins and allusions. Some originate from historical stories in literature and classics; others are inspired expressions in literary works by scholars; and some are profound summaries of life and practice by ancient laboring people. The 100 idioms selected in this book "Idiom Stories" are commonly used, widely circulated, household names, and possess a certain narrative quality. When compiling the idiom stories, the text is、, highlighting the original meaning of the idioms. Some details loosely connected to the idioms themselves are omitted.
