Description
Book Introduction
Studying four-character idioms is essential to improving your vocabulary and Chinese character skills!
Learn idioms in a fun and informative way with their origin stories.
Idioms are words made up of four Chinese characters, such as 'be prepared, don't worry' and 'ten spoons of rice, one bowl of rice', and they contain the lessons and wisdom of the ancients.
Idioms are mainly used when you want to convey complex situations, emotions, or psychology in a simple and clear way.
However, since many unfamiliar Chinese characters are used in four-character idioms, it is difficult and confusing to memorize them without thinking.
If used incorrectly, it can easily lead to misunderstandings.
"That's how these four-character idioms came to be" teaches four-character idioms through humorous four-panel cartoons and exciting stories, so you can naturally learn the meaning and usage of four-character idioms.
Even if you read it just once, the idioms will stick in your head, so you can use them right away in real life.
I recommend this book to everyone: elementary school students who want to enjoy learning Chinese idioms, parents who want to improve their children's vocabulary and Chinese character skills, and teachers looking for useful vocabulary-related learning materials.

Into the book
The tiger followed the fox, following him closely behind.
But what's going on? Every animal that encounters a fox runs away, screaming for help!
"Was the fox really this scary? It's true they call it the king of beasts!"
The tiger foolishly believed the fox's words.
Actually, the reason the animals ran away was because of the tiger following the fox.
From this story, the term 'Hogahorwi' was created, which uses the characters 'ho' (狐), 'ga' (假), 'ho' (虎), and 'wi' (威), meaning 'dignity'.
It means that the fox borrows the majesty of the tiger, and is used to criticize someone who uses other people's power to show off.
--- p.71
Liu Bei cherished the brilliant Zhuge Liang and always kept him close to him.
But Guan Yu and Zhang Fei did not like the sight.
“Zhuge Liang is just a young boy, but I think you think too highly of him.”
When the two people expressed their dissatisfaction, Liu Bei said:
“My acquisition of Zhuge Liang is like a fish acquiring water.
So please don't complain anymore."
It is said that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei never complained again after learning how much Liu Bei trusted Zhuge Liang.
'Seo-eo-ji-gyo' originated from this story.
The word 'water-fish-fish', which uses the characters for water (水), fish (魚), fish-like particle (之), and friendship (交), refers to the relationship between fish and water, which cannot survive without water.
It's a metaphor for a relationship that is so close that it can't be separated.
