大块头 Posted April 15, 2019 at 04:21 PM Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 at 04:21 PM Hello, welcome to the forum. I looked through the index of my copy of the ABC Dictionary of Chinese Proverbs, but found no entries related to the Yellow River. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomsima Posted April 15, 2019 at 04:41 PM Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 at 04:41 PM I don't know if it shows "bonds and ties" but two sayings come to mind: 不到黃河不死心 跳到黃河也洗不清 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edelweis Posted April 15, 2019 at 05:34 PM Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 at 05:34 PM (edited) googling 黄河 with 成语 gives more examples that contain 黄河 in the explanation rather than in the 成语 itself, for instance: 描写黄河的成语_赞美黄河的成语_关于黄河的成语_成语词典 - 第一范文网 Quote 俟河之清：等待。等待黄河变清。比喻期望的事情不能实现。 Edited April 15, 2019 at 06:22 PM by edelweis changed URL to avoid using google redirection 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
