Curious About Chinese?

Chinese uses imagery, compact structures like four-character idioms (chéngyǔ), and layered cultural meanings to express complex ideas with few words. This visual and symbolic richness makes the language efficient and poetic.

Idioms (chéngyǔ) are often classical, concise, and allusive. Proverbs (yànyǔ) are more practical and come from everyday wisdom. Xiehouyu are humorous two-part phrases, often with a pun or hidden meaning in the second part.

Absolutely. They appear in advertising, social media, diplomacy, and literature, helping express values, humor, and wisdom with cultural depth.

Pinyin helps you pronounce words correctly and is essential at the beginning. However, learning characters early helps build stronger reading skills and cultural understanding. A combined approach is most effective.

Chinese idioms usually have exactly four characters and are often rooted in classical texts or historical stories. They are fixed expressions, not easily modified, and their meaning is often not literal. If you can’t guess the meaning from the words directly—it might be a 成语.

Both! Idioms and proverbs are often used in everyday speech—especially in formal or witty conversations. Native speakers use them to sound clever, humorous, or culturally aware. But be careful: some idioms are very literary and best kept for writing.
