Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Deeply rooted in culture, and represented in four elegant Chinese characters, the sayings called Cheng-yu make oblique references to poetry, philosophy, or history. This gorgeous volume features some of the most famous proverbs, including "beat grass warn snake" (give the game away, tip someone off). Each phrase includes an explanation, its literal English translation, what the calligraphic strokes symbolize, and its uses.
