Features: This book includes over 2,000 entries, divided into main entries and "also as" entries. The main entries are the basic forms of Chinese idioms, annotated with explanations and example sentences; the "also as" entries are alternative forms of the main entries, sharing the same or nearly the same meaning as the main entries and do not require further explanation. All entries use the original characters, with homophonic characters noted in the explanations; example sentences retain their original format without changes. Commas "," are used uniformly between the entry and its explanation; commas "," or em dashes "——" are used in example sentences, following the original formatting without changes.
