Proverbs are an important and characteristic feature of Chinese
language and culture. There is a Chinese proverb for almost any
situation, and judicious use of proverbs is regarded as a sign of
good education. Proverbs are often derived from classical stories
or historical events, and offer a multi-dimensional resource for
learning Chinese. Becoming a Dragon: Forty Chinese Proverbs for
Lifelong Learning and Classroom Study, is a bilingual
(English-Chinese) collection of proverbs, popular phrases, and
two-part allegorical sayings. Each proverb is set out with all the
materials needed for self-study and classroom teaching: the story
behind the proverb and its source in both English and Chinese, a
literal translation, the figurative meaning, English equivalents, a
vocabulary list, and examples of how the proverb is used in modern
written and spoken Chinese. Illustrations and vocabulary lists are
also available online for use in classroom presentations.
