This new volume contains a treasure trove of Chinese Sayings, or Chengyu. For almost a decade Laszlo has presented the history, legends, and stories behind these beloved, delightful, and deeply meaningful Chinese idiomatic expressions, usually only four characters long. In Book 1 of this 3-Part series, Laszlo presents a selection of Chinese Sayings taken from the Golden Age of Chengyu's: The Warring States Period and the Han Dynasty.
