We present the 24 most common Chinese idioms in four categories: stirring deeds, virtuous conduct, wisdom and legends. Each idiom has a brief explanation followed by a story, in Chinese and English, of how it arose. The profuse illustrations will help readers understand the idioms’ historical backgrounds.

For example, the idiom “Besieging Wei to Save Zhao” means the use of diversionary tactics is often more effective than an outright challenge.
