This book relates many historical stories of Chinese idioms in succinct and expressive language, for example, Shi Du Qing Shen (the cow fondly licking her calf -parental love), Lao Dang Yi Zhuang (be old but vigorous), Yi Zi Qian Jin (a single word is worth a thousand pieces of gold -highly finished literary product or calligraphy), and Wo Xin Chang Dan (sleep on firewood and taste gall -undergo self-imposed hardships to strengthen ones resolve to wipe out a national humiliation or to accomplish some ambition), etc. It makes comprehensive explanation of each idiom as well including introduction, provenance, definition and analysis of synonyms, etc. The content of the book is short and clear that makes young readers learn more idioms and history knowledge in less time. The book, along with traditional collaborate-style serial paintings, has great art appreciation value. - from Amzon
