The origin of idioms
There are more than 50,000 idioms, 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-character miscellaneous words 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.
