Idioms and explanations of mustard;
1, mustard knot in one's heart: describe a person's personality as honest, frank, stubborn and difficult to get along with. This idiom originally refers to mustard itself. Because mustard has many thorns and looks rough, people use it to describe people with bad personality. Later, this idiom gradually evolved to describe stubborn and difficult people.
2, mustard beans: describe very small things. This idiom comes from the weight of mustard beans. Mustard beans are very light beans, weighing only a few milligrams, so this idiom is used to describe tiny things.
3, mustard micro-line: describe not letting go of small things. This idiom consists of two words: "contempt" and "micro-behavior". "Despise" refers to look down on trivial matters or trivial matters, and "micro-behavior" refers to trivial matters or trivial actions. The whole idiom means to pay attention to small things and not to ignore them.
4, the disease of mustard boat: described as fast. This idiom comes from the metaphor of mustard boat. The mustard boat is a very light boat. If it is very fast, it can cross the water as fast as an arrow, so this idiom is used to describe its very fast speed.
5, mustard plague: describing small things can also cause great disasters. This idiom comes from the metaphor of "contempt", which means to look down on trivial things or trivial things, while "trouble" means that these trivial things will become disasters. The whole idiom means not to despise small things, because these small things may bring big problems.
