Chengyu are an important set of vocabulary that advanced level students should be familiar with. They are often used in advanced level readings and in advanced level listening practices. In order to ensure that students learn chengyu properly and are able to recognize and remember them, there are two important things that they should know about each chengyu. First, there are the grammatical requirements there are for using a particular chengyu, and second, there is the semantic context of the chengyu. Only when both of these criteria are met, will the student be able to use and understand the chengyu properly.
The goal of these learning tools is to help students remember and understand the meaning of frequently used chengyu. In order to be able to actively use chengyu in writing and speaking, it is necessary to have a tool that not only thoroughly explains what the chengyu means, but also the context in which it is used. Understanding and using chengyu properly is a challenge, but if you can master it your Chinese proficiency will be at a superior level.
