Description by Peter Meiring (from the App Store)

Chengyu: Origins tells the stories behind four-character Chinese idioms (chengyu), each with a custom illustration.

Why you'll like it:
• The real historical or mythological origin, in plain English, with pinyin and character-by-character meaning
• Original artwork for every idiom
• A daily rhythm: build a streak, earn coins, and unlock new idioms
• Search the whole collection, or browse era by era through Chinese history
• A growing library. New illustrated idioms are added over time

No account required. No ads. Just you and a few minutes a day with one of the oldest, richest layers of the Chinese language.
