Hi, polyglots.
In Han script, there is a type of idiomatic expression called “set phrases” [成語], which are mostly four-character long. In this lesson, you will find idioms from various languages in set phrases. This is a way to learn about idioms around the world, as well as to learn Han script less tediously.
Just like assigning codes to entities, e.g. ISO 15924 country and region codes, this assigns the same expression in different languages a name in Han script.
