How Chinese idioms come from in history ?

Idioms are an important part of traditional Chinese culture. Most of them come from ancient historical stories, myths and legends, fables, literary works, etc. Here are some common idiom sources:

• Many historical stories: Many idioms are derived from real events or characters in history, such as "Every tree and grass are soldiers", "Looking at plum blossoms to quench thirst", "Lying on the fuel and tasting the courage", etc.

• Myths and legends: Some idioms also come from ancient myths and legends, such as "Jingwei fills the sea(精卫填海)", "Kuafu chases the sun(夸父追日)", "Nuwa mends the sky(女娲补天)", etc.

• Fables: Fables are also one of the origins of idioms, such as "The fox pretends to be a tiger," "Stand by and wait for the rabbit," "It's time to save the boat and seek the sword," etc.

• Literary works: Many idioms also come from ancient literary works, such as "The Book of Songs", "The Analects of Confucius", "Mencius", "Zhuangzi", etc.

In short, idioms are the rose treasure of Chinese culture. They not only have rich cultural connotations, but are also often used in daily life.
