Download ABC Dictionary of Chinese Proverbs (Yanyu) Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This Chinese-English dictionary of proverbs (yanyu) consists of approximately 4,000 Chinese proverbs alphabetically arranged by the first word(s) (ci) of the proverb according to the Hanyu Pinyin transcription and Chinese characters (standard simplified), followed by a literal (and when necessary also a figurative) English translation. Additional data such as brief usage notes, sources, parallel expressions, cross-references, and famous instances of use are provided where available. The proverbs are supplemented by an index of key words (both Chinese and English) found in all entries and of all topics addressed. The author has provided a scholarly introduction analyzing the definition, structure, usage, and history of these yanyu in traditional and contemporary China as well as a bibliography of collections and relevant scholarly studies of yanyu. This work, the first such scholarly collection to appear since the Reverend Scarborough’s 1926 collection, will be of use not only to sinologists in a wide variety of fields, including anthropology, literature, sociology, psychology, and history, but also to non-Chinese readers interested in Chinese culture or comparative ethnolinguistic and paremiological research.

Download Everything I Understand about America I Learned in Chinese Proverbs Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
In Everything I Understand about America I Learned in Chinese Proverbs, Wendy Liu tells her experiences and views of America¿its life, issues, politics, and China relations¿with a Chinese angle. Following a dispute over free speech, for instance, she recalled the Chinese proverb ¿A great person¿s heart is big enough to pole a boat in¿ and realized that a big heart was what everyone needed to tolerate differences in America. Observing controversies between the U.S. and China, she felt that with America¿s complex relationship with the Middle Kingdom, it would be helpful if Americans were not sometimes ¿seeing trees only, but not the forest,¿ another Chinese proverb.
