花＆成語

[82riceballs]

hey guys-

recently, i've been trying to learn chengyu, and i've just started trying to learn it by "word" (this probably doesn't make any sense to the reader- sorry )

ex. 花

繡花枕頭 pretty but worthless person

霧裡看花 can't see clearly (figuratively)

五花入門 a motley

花枝招展 dunno what it means... help!

花好月圓 flowers in full bloom + full moon

花言巧語 artful talk; deceiving words

花花世界 material world w/ sensual pleasures and temptations

花前月下 perfect environment for lovers

are there any other important ones that i should add to my list? are there any on the list that aren't chengyu or important chengyu?

also, are there any interesting chengyu w/ 言語 other than the ones in the following list?

三言兩語

不言不語

花言巧語

thanks!
