Description
The present book contains 206 Chinese idioms which are in common use and behind each of which there is a story or an anecdote. Generally speaking, the stories and anecdotes are based on the original versions in classical Chinese but, where necessary, abridgment and modifications are made and brief descriptions of their backgrounds given. Many of the Chinese idioms are accompanied by English equivalents. Chinese phonetic spelling (pinyin) is given to each title, and for readers who are not familiar with the system the appendix "Guide to Chinese Phonetic Alphabet" at the end of the book may prove useful. --- excerpt from book's Foreword - from Amzon
