China Sayings: A Thousand Years in a Few Words

A Thousand Years in a Few Words brings together eighty of China's most enduring idioms and proverbs — from ancient myths and battlefield strategy to Buddhist parables and folk wisdom. 

Each entry is presented in its original Chinese characters, with Pinyin pronunciation, a literal translation, and a rich explanation of its meaning and cultural context. 

More than a language resource, this is a window into how Chinese people think, reason, and see the world — a book for language learners and curious minds alike.
