About the Book:
This book of Chinese idioms is especially designed for foreign learners of the Chinese language and culture.

- The arrangement of the idioms are from the shortest to the longest, namely from the most simple one to the most complicated one.
- Each expression is explained in a more reader-friendly and practical way.
- The selections, though not many, are among the most commonly-used in everyday Chinese conversation.
- Chinese language and mind-set can both be acquired through studying the handbook.
