This book selects more than 200 widely circulated and beloved idiomatic stories, providing detailed origins, original texts, and annotations. For easier reading, classic stories are vividly retold in modern vernacular, making them both entertaining and educational. Each idiom is also explained in modern terms, offering both enjoyment and learning.
To maximize information for readers, another distinctive feature of this book is its directory arrangement, which deviates from traditional methods like alphabetical order, stroke count, or chain idioms. Instead, it organizes idioms based on their historical chronological order, dividing them into five periods: Pre-Qin, Qin and Han, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui, Tang, Five Dynasties, and Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing. Each period selects the most famous allusions, allowing readers in the 21st century to revisit and reflect on Chinese history. Through this historical mirror, readers gain deeper insights.
