Learn the most popular Two-Part Allegorical Sayings, such as, "Using telephone poles as chopsticks—putting much material to petty use", and, "A dog catching a mouse – poking one's nose into other people's business". The Chinese use these sayings on a daily basis, and now you can too. Each couplet is presented in Chinese, Pinyin, and English, along with an illustration, and is followed by a brief explanation in Chinese and English. Some more obscure expressions are clarified with the help of annotations in both Chinese and English. This is a wonderful way to learn more about Chinese culture and language, and increase your own vocabulary of expression as well.
