Most idioms have a certain origin. For example, "Smith" comes from the Chu policy of the Warring States Policy, "fighting between snipes and mussels" comes from strict policy, "painting a snake to add feet" comes from Qi policy, "carving a boat to seek a sword" comes from Lu Chunqiu's investigation of Jin, and "contradiction" comes from everything that goes wrong. For example, Return to Zhao in a Perfect Way comes from Historical Records, biographies of Lian Po and Lin Xiangru, cross the rubicon from Historical Records, biographies of Xiang Yu, vegetation and soldiers from Jin Shu Fu Jian, killing two birds with one stone from Northern History, and full of honey and belly sword from biographies of Tang Shufu. As for the interception of ancient books, it is more common as a four-character idiom. For example, "methodical" is taken from Shangshu Pan Geng, Outline in an orderly way, Draw inferences from the Analects of Confucius, Don't take a corner, there will be no more, and Regret for the Past is taken from Zuozhuan's thirteen-year successful study. "Being servile" comes from Bao Puzi's Newsletter by Ge Hong in Jin Dynasty, "Taking the Yue family as the only one who is unsmiling, and taking the servile person as the worldly knowledge", and "Being confident" comes from Su Shi's "Drawing Scenery and Painting Valley and Colorful Bamboo" in Song Dynasty. Wait, the list goes on. There are also many people who make sentences in ancient Chinese. For example, worrying comes from The Book of Songs, being strong on the outside and being dry on the inside comes from Zuo Zhuan's Fifteen Years of Xi Gong, waiting for merit comes from Sun Tzu's The Art of War, getting to the bottom of it comes from Su Shi's Fu on the Back Red Wall, and meeting by chance comes from Wang Bo's Preface to Tengwangge in Tang Dynasty. Some four-character idioms that people often use can also be classified as idioms. Such as "speaking like a book", "procrastinating", "obeying yin qi", "no three no four" and "calling a spade a spade" have the same structure as idioms. There are also some idioms that appear by accepting foreign cultures. For example, hype, explosion, incredible and the only way. Idioms are generally four-character, not too few. Such as "pot calling the kettle black", "Haste makes waste" and "The meaning of drunkenness is not in wine". Idioms generally use four-character case, which is related to the syntactic structure of Chinese itself and the monosyllabic words in ancient Chinese. Idioms are long-term fixed phrases or phrases with concise form and incisive meaning. Idioms are mostly composed of four words, but there are also three or more words. There are five sources of idioms: first, myths and legends, such as Kuafu's daily and jingwei land reclamation; Second, fables, such as carving a boat for a sword, confuse the false with the true; Third, historical stories, such as offering a humble apology and cross the rubicon; Fourth, literary works, such as "Lao Ji Fu Yong" and "Taking care of you"; Fifth, foreign cultures, such as boundless merits, take chestnuts from the fire. A large part of idioms are passed down from ancient times, and they are often different from modern Chinese in terms of words. There are sentences from ancient books, phrases compressed from ancient articles and idioms from people's mouths. Some meanings can be understood literally, while others can't, especially allusions. Such as "full of sweat and cows", "crouching tiger, hidden dragon", "making a comeback" and "being surrounded by grass and trees" occupy a certain proportion in Chinese idioms. Chinese has a long history and many idioms, which is also a major feature of Chinese. .
Idioms are ready-made words.
Similar to idioms and proverbs, but slightly different. The most important point is that idioms and proverbs are spoken, while idioms are mostly written and belong to literary nature. Secondly, in the form of language, idioms are almost all established four-word structures, and literal words cannot be changed at will, while idioms and proverbs are always loose, more or less limited to four words. For example, "cut the gordian knot quickly", "do your best", "the donkey's lips are not right for the horse's mouth" and "fear the wolf before and fear the tiger after" are all commonly used idioms; "Seeing is believing in all things", "True gold is not afraid of fire", "Where there is a will, there is a way" and "Seeing people for a long time" are all empirical remarks, which represent a complete meaning and belong to the category of proverbs. Idioms are different from idioms and proverbs.
