kkisjj Posted January 2, 2016 at 07:25 AM Report Posted January 2, 2016 at 07:25 AM A late Happy New Year to all of you! I'm a Chinese learner From Romania at lower intermediate level, just stumbled across this wonderful forum yesterday. So here is my question: what does 哭得梨花带雨 mean? Is it an idiom commonly used? Quote
Guest123 Posted January 2, 2016 at 03:40 PM Report Posted January 2, 2016 at 03:40 PM Can't say if it is commonly used, but yes, it is an idiom, a chengyu. Meaning "like a pear flower with raindrops on it". Quote

Leihuangdi Posted January 2, 2016 at 06:50 PM Report Posted January 2, 2016 at 06:50 PM 梨花带雨 is fairly common but mostly appears in literature. I wouldn't worry about it at this point (unless you find it interesting of course). Quote

The woman is the flower and the rain is the tears. 1 Quote
