This book selects more than two hundred widely circulated and beloved idiomatic stories, providing detailed origins, original texts, and annotations. For easier reading, classic stories are vividly retold in modern colloquial language. Additionally, each idiom is explained in modern terms, making learning enjoyable and rewarding.
To maximize information for readers, another distinctive feature of this book is its (catalog) arrangement, which deviates from traditional methods like alphabetical order, stroke count, or (idiom chain). 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.
《Idiomatic Stories》— a companion that delights both parties, radiating irresistible charm!
