DVD00 Posted February 24, 2009 at 10:18 PM Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 at 10:18 PM Hi, does anyone know of any (free) digital ChengYu dictionaries? If it includes the accompanying stories great, if it includes categories (e.g. love, health, war, etc) that is great, too. Thanks in advance, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glock Posted February 25, 2009 at 02:51 PM Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 at 02:51 PM Not a dictionary, but I've recently found a lot of Chinese cartoons explaining what 最常用的成语s mean by telling their stories that I think very useful, and that's why I'll share these; http://www.verycd.com/topics/306641/ http://www.verycd.com/topics/52376/ Not:oops you'll need emule or some other torrent software to download these.

赫杰 Posted June 9, 2009 at 03:20 AM Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 at 03:20 AM Alright, I knew chinese-forums would come through, thanks leeyah. My five second googling found this: http://zhidao.baidu.com/question/45108210.html Though not nearly as organized as the previous links.

赫杰 Posted June 10, 2009 at 03:56 AM Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 at 03:56 AM http://www.cssyzxx.com/xxy2007/Article/xysq/wenxue/200711/354.html Might as well post this too. This is actually the last post in the link leeyah posted which contained a forum. I plan on knocking that out before taking on kdd. Kdd looks a little too comprehensive for me. So I plan on comparing to my 成语小词典 to weed out least commonly used ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrix Posted June 12, 2009 at 12:23 AM Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 at 12:23 AM in my opinion, the best chengyu dictionary available online is the one published by the Taiwanese Ministry of Education: http://dict.idioms.moe.edu.tw/ : For a core-group of 1,500 chengyu (5,000 including all variants) they have extensive information incl. text sources, thorough explanation of the background and usage examples. They have also basic info on thousands of other chengyu... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
