skylee Posted October 31, 2007 at 03:08 AM Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 at 03:08 AM This is a useful tool for learing chengyu -> http://140.111.34.46/chengyu/sort_text.htm Just input the keyword and you will get all chengyus (pronunciations, explanations, examples) in the database that contain the keyword. For 花, you will find these 320 entries -> http://140.111.34.46/cgi-bin/chengyu/searchResult.cgi?page=0&tf=text&Query0=%AA%E1&stype=phrase&select=phrase&x=10&y=11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
