Chinese Idioms Workbook

This is a book that we are all required to do. Chinese is full of four character idioms. Many of them are from history and many of them are just weird. There's 31299 of them now and growing! There's all sorts of stories in these idioms, for example,

緣木求魚- A man is searching for fish on a tree. Meaning- Wrong way!

才高八斗- A person is telling is friend that if all the knowledge in the world is divided into ten parts, his friend would have 8, he himself world have 1 and the other one world be the rest of the world.
This is a page from the work book. What we do is that we repeat the characters once. There's tests every week on these...
