The Chinese language has a very long history, and is rich in colourful idioms, which can be used to enormously enhance the language’s powers of expression. The 24 most common Chinese idioms are presented in ‘The Stories Behind Common Chinese Idioms Series’ in four categories: Legends, Stirring Deeds, Virtuous Conduct, and Wisdom. Each idiom has a brief explanation, followed by the story, in Chinese and English, of how it arose. Profuse illustrations will help readers understand the historical background of each of the idioms.
