Features: The book contains a rich collection of idioms, vast and inexhaustible. To meet the needs of a broad readership, especially primary and secondary school teachers and students, the author has specifically selected and curated nearly 100,000 idioms gathered over the years. In addition to including traditional idioms that have long been passed down orally, the book also pays attention to collecting new idioms that reflect the spirit of the times and scientific progress. The book contains approximately 16,000 idioms. To save space, it adopts a method of combining similar explanations and arranging them together, where multiple explanations for the same metaphor are merged, separated by semicolons. This approach not only facilitates selection but also saves space. For easy reference, the entries are arranged in pinyin order according to readers' usage habits, and a "pinyin index of entry first letters" is included. To make it portable, the book uses a large 64-page format. Therefore, compared to similar reference books, the one presented by the author to you has the characteristics of carefully selected entries, small size, large capacity, easy to check, and convenient to carry.
