Most Chinese idioms have a historical origin and consist of four Chinese characters. The meanings of some are obvious, e.g. ‘trivial topic, long article’ and ‘latecomers move ahead,’ but some can be understood only by knowing their sources, or the stories behind them, e.g. ‘three in the morning, four in the evening’ and ‘the shadow of a bow in a cup mistaken for a snake’.} |
