Annotation: It is impossible to learn a language without experiencing the culture of the people who speak it. But the issue is deeper with the Chinese language. Chinese idioms, proverbs and sayings are an integral part of what makes the language so fascinating. When we talk about Chinese idioms, we usually mean 成语chéngyŭ, which translates as "shaped words". It is a collection of about 5,000 words, usually four but sometimes five or more characters. Here are a few of the most famous or most interesting traditional 成语and the stories about them to help you understand their origins and meaning.

Keywords: formed words, 成语chéngyǔ, 熟语shúyǔ, 文言wényán phraseological units.
