Idioms (chengyu, idioms) are part of the stereotyped phrases or short sentences in the Chinese vocabulary of Chinese language.

Idioms have fixed structural forms and fixed sayings, express certain meanings, and are used as a whole in sentences.

A large part of idioms are inherited from ancient times. The wording is often different from modern Chinese. It represents a story or allusion. Idioms are also ready-made words, similar to idioms and proverbs, but also slightly different.

Most idioms come from writing and are literary in nature. Secondly, in terms of language form, idioms are conventional four-character structures, and the words cannot be changed at will; idioms play a vivid, concise and vivid role in language expression. 2. The difference between four-character idioms and four-character words

The so-called idioms are fixed phrases formed after long-term use and tempering in the language, which fully reflect the breadth and depth of the Chinese language.

It is a language unit that is larger than a word and has the same grammatical function as a word. Idioms are fixed phrases or sentences that express general concepts, and most of them are composed of four characters.

Features: ① The relative stereotype of the structure. ②The integrity of meaning.

③The habituality of time and space. ④Historicity of formation.

⑤ Nationality in content and form. Source: ① Historical story.

②Fable story. ③Myths or other legends.

④Classical literary works. An idiom is a stereotyped phrase or phrase that is part of a language's vocabulary.

Chinese idioms have fixed structural forms and fixed sayings, which express a certain meaning and are used as a whole in a sentence. For example: be concise and concise, move forward courageously, complement each other, seek truth from facts, be tireless in teaching, go through the years, be in a critical moment, seek fish from a tree, cut your feet to fit the shoes, have all your hands and feet, don’t donate small or big things, sit in a well and look at the sky. A large part of the idioms are inherited from ancient times, and the wording is often different from modern Chinese.

Among them are sentences from ancient books, phrases compressed from ancient articles, and idioms often spoken by the people. Some meanings can be understood literally, while others are difficult to understand literally, especially allusive ones.

For example, "a cow is full of sweat", "a tiger is a dragon," "a comeback" and "every tree is a soldier" occupy a certain proportion in Chinese idioms. China has a long history and has a lot of idioms, which is also a characteristic of the Chinese language.

An idiom is a ready-made word, similar to idioms and proverbs, but also slightly different. The most important point is that idioms and proverbs are of a spoken nature, while idioms mostly come from writing and are of a literary nature.

Secondly, in terms of language form, idioms are almost all conventional four-character structures, and the words cannot be changed at will, while idioms and proverbs are always looser and can be more or less, not limited to four characters. For example, "cutting the mess with a sharp knife", "the power of nine oxen and two tigers", "donkey's lip is not as good as horse's mouth", "fear the wolf in front, fear the tiger behind", these are often said idioms; "seeing is worth hearing a hundred times", "true gold is not afraid of fire" "Refining", "Where there is a will, there is a way", "A road can tell a horse's power, but time can tell a person's heart." These are some words of experience, which express a complete meaning and belong to the category of proverbs.

Idioms are different from idioms and proverbs. Most idioms have a certain origin.

For example, "the fox fakes the tiger's power" comes from "Chu Ce", "snipe and clam fight" comes from "Yan Ce", "superfluous" comes from "Qi Ce", "carves a boat to seek a sword" comes from "Chu Ce" Lu Shi Chun Qiu·Cha Jin", "Self-contradiction" comes from "Han Feizi·Nanshi", and they are all ancient fables. For example, "returning the perfect jade to Zhao" comes from "Historical Records: Biography of Lian Po and Lin Xiangru", "breaking cauldrons and sinking boats" comes from "Historical Records: The Benji of Xiang Yu", "every tree and grass are soldiers" comes from "Book of Jin: Records of Fu Jian", "killing two birds with one stone" comes from "History of the North" "The Biography of Changsun Sheng" and "The Sweet Mouth and the Sword in the Belly" come from "The Biography of Li Linfu in the Book of Tang Dynasty", and they are all stories in history.

It is more common to intercept sentences from ancient books and use them as four-character idioms. For example, "in an orderly manner" is taken from "Shangshu Pan Geng" "If the outline is in the outline, it will be orderly and orderly", and "drawing inferences from one example" is taken from "The Analects of Confucius·Shu'er" "If you draw conclusions from one corner, if you don't draw conclusions from three corners, it will not be repeated." , "Heartbroken and heartbroken" is taken from "Zuo Zhuan" in the 13th year of Chenggong's reign. "This is to use heartbroken and heartbroken to express affection for the few people." "Dividing courts to resist etiquette", "servile and servile" is taken from Ge Hong's "Baopuzi·Communication" of the Jin Dynasty, "Those who regard Yue Zhi as independent are astringent and clumsy, and those who are servile and servile are the understanding of the world." "Be confident" is taken from Su Shi's "Wen Yu" of the Song Dynasty "The Story of Yanzhu in Yuandang Valley" "To draw bamboo, you must first have the bamboo in your heart."

The list goes on and on. There are also many others who use ancient articles to form sentences.

For example, "worried" comes from "The Book of Songs·Zhaonan·CaoChong", "externally strong but internally capable" comes from "Zuo Zhuan" in the fifteenth year of Duke Xi, "waiting for work with ease" comes from "Sun Tzu·Military Struggle", "the truth comes to light" comes from Su Shi's "Hou Chibi Ode", "Meet by Chance" comes from Wang Bo's "Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng" of the Tang Dynasty, and "Unbreakable" comes from Han Yu's "Ping Huaixi Stele" of the Tang Dynasty. Some four-character idioms commonly spoken by people can also be classified as idioms.

For example, "Chinese words", "Sloppy words", "Yang Feng Yin Biao", "Not three and not four", "Be honest and forthright", etc., have the same structure as idioms. There are also some idioms that appear as a result of accepting foreign cultures.

Such as "the sky is falling", "a wake-up call", "unbelievable" and "the only way". Idioms are generally in four-character format, and less often if they are not four-character.

For example, "castles in the air", "famous", "better than blue", "colorful", "happy", etc. are all four-character idioms. Idioms with less than four characters, such as "stepping stone", "unnecessary" and "taken for granted".

More than four words such as "The world is full of peaches and plums", "There is more than enough heart but not enough strength", "It is easy to change a country, but it is hard to change one's nature", "Only state officials are allowed to set fires, but the people are not allowed to light lamps", "Fifty paces" "Smile a hundred steps", "Haste makes waste", "The drunkard's intention is not the wine", etc., all account for an absolute minority in idioms. The reason why idioms generally use four characters is related to the syntactic structure of Chinese itself and the fact that ancient Chinese mainly uses monosyllabic words.

The four-character grammatical structure mainly has the following forms: subject-predicate form: worthy of the name, domineering, unfounded, and confident; verb-object form: good at being a teacher, incomprehensible, and fearful of the road; combined subject-predicate form: turned upside down, When the truth comes to light, dance with joy; Combined verb-object form: Know yourself and the enemy, recharge your batteries, stay on guard, and issue orders; Combined noun form: Carelessness, going in the wrong direction, mirror the mirror; Combined verb form: Advance by leaps and bounds, move forward courageously; Verb-verb form: Get away with it, ask questions blindly; Concurrent expression: Beggar your neighbor, intimidating. The structures of idioms are diverse, and the above are just simple examples.

Idioms play a vivid, concise and vivid role in language expression. It itself has many metaphors, contrasts and emphatic wording methods.

For example, "Yang serves Yin but violates", "Strong on the outside but dry on the inside", "Colorful on the outside", "Half of knowledge", "Bloody talk", "Worrying about gains and losses", "Shuddering", etc. Each has its own wonderful uses. Therefore, writers pay great attention to the use of idioms.

Idioms are similar in some respects to proper names, scientific terms, proverbs, catchphrases, quotations and ordinary phrases composed of four characters. For example, proper names and scientific terms are fixed phrases; proverbs, idioms, and quotations are not only fixed phrases or sentences.
