Features: Idioms, as an important part of language, have very obvious advantages compared to general words: concise meaning, rigorous structure, condensed and implicit, rich in philosophical wisdom yet vivid and vivid in expression, with particularly strong expressive power. Therefore, idioms play a unique and irreplaceable great role in people's linguistic communication activities. The prerequisite for the correct use of idioms is a deep understanding of them. Especially, idioms with extended and metaphorical meanings account for the majority in Chinese idioms. Most of these idioms come from ancient yellow literature, each with a specific story behind its origin, some of which are classical words that differ greatly from modern Chinese. If they are not studied carefully one by one, it is impossible to correctly understand the meaning of the idioms, let alone use them appropriately.
