nonsiccus Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Do you guys know of any lists of commonly used Chinese idioms? I've found a couple lists here and there via google, but I haven't seen any kind of compilation list that has "everything". Something like a wiki would probably be perfect as it would mean that people can contribute as they learn/encounter new ones...Anything out there?

BWL Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 This is a fairly comprehensive list of chengyu 成語 but the website is entirely in simplified Chinese. While being comprehensive it does require a high level of Chinese in order to read it. It does however list transcribe the idioms in pinyin. The explanations provided are in fairly advanced Chinese.http://chengyu.itlearner.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possible it is based on the above link, but his has not advetising,http://www.usc.edu/dept/ealc/chinese/Reading/chengyu.htmAnother I can read because comes with English explanation is here, http://people.wku.edu/haiwang.yuan/China/proverbs/y.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
