Idioms are a part of stereotyped phrases or short sentences in Chinese vocabulary. Idioms have fixed structural forms and fixed expressions, which express certain meanings and are used as a whole in sentences. A large part of idioms are passed down from ancient times, and the words used are often different from those used in modern Chinese. They represent a story or an allusion. Idiom is a ready-made word, similar to idioms and proverbs, but slightly different. Idioms are mostly written and belong to literary nature. Secondly, in the form of language, idioms are established four-character structures, and the literal meaning cannot be changed at will; Idioms have vivid, concise and vivid functions in language expression.
Definition idioms are fixed phrases formed by long-term use and tempering in language. It is a language unit with richer meaning and grammatical function than words, with rich and profound ideological connotation, short and incisive, and easy to remember and use. It is often accompanied by sentimental colors, including derogatory and positive meanings. Most idioms are four words, but there are also idioms with more than three words, and some idioms are even divided into two parts, separated by commas. The source idiom of this idiom is a fixed phrase or phrase with concise form and incisive meaning that has been formed for a long time. 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. There are more than 50,000 formal idioms in this paragraph, 96% of which are four-character, and there are also idioms with three characters, five characters, six characters and seven characters or more. Such as "pot calling the kettle black", "Shut the door", "reinvent the wheel", "haste makes waste" and "drunkenness is not about wine". Idioms generally use four words, probably because they are easy to grasp. For example, China's ancient poetry collection "The Book of Songs" consists of four sentences, and the ancient history "Shangshu" also has some four sentences. Later, I began to read San Zi Jing, Hundred Family Names and Ganzi Wen, the last two of which are all four sentences. The first, second and third episodes of Four-eyed Miscellaneous Son and Long Wen Whip Shadow are all four words. Although this is a sermon, it shows that these four words are loved and recited by people. Some words of the ancients could have been aphorisms and idioms. Just because it was more troublesome to change it to four words, I had to give it up and use it as a guide. For example, The Story of Fan Zhongyan's Yueyang Tower in the Song Dynasty has a good meaning, which means "Worry about the world first, and enjoy the world later". However, due to the large number of words, idioms cannot be formed. We can only regard it as an epigram, and sometimes we can introduce it into the article. However, if "no pains come", it is easy to say and remember, so it can become an idiom. The phrase "all wastes flourish" in Yueyang Tower is an idiom, because it is four words. Edit the subject-predicate structure of four words in this paragraph: worthy of the name, domineering, worrying, thoughtful, buying gifts and returning pearls, changing everything; Verb-object style: being a teacher, inexplicable and afraid of the road; Joint subject-predicate type: upside down, touching the bottom, dancing; Joint verb-object style: know yourself and yourself, save your strength, beware of procrastination and give orders; Joint noun type: carelessness, opposition and illusion; Joint verb type: rapid development; Dynamic complement type: at large, asking questions blindly; Concurrent words: beggar-thy-neighbor is daunting; Side by side: Qian Shan is full of water, gilding the lily; A little formal: it's raining cats and dogs, and my fair lady (you can add the word "de" in the middle). Idioms have various structures, and the above is just a simple example. Idioms have vivid, concise and vivid functions in language expression. It has many metaphors, contrasts and ways to emphasize words. Such as "yang disobeys yin", "external strength is weak", "colorful", "a little knowledge", "eloquent", "suffering from loss" and "chilling" have their own magical functions. Because idioms have many meanings, writers pay great attention to the use of idioms.
