Xiehouyu is a special language form created by the Chinese people in their daily life practice. It is a short, funny and vivid sentence. It consists of two parts: the former part plays the role of "introduction", like a riddle, and the latter part plays the role of "backing", like the answer to a riddle, which is very natural and appropriate. In a certain language environment, you usually say the first half and "break" the second half, and then you can understand and guess its original meaning, so it is called "Xiehouyu". Xiehouyu is also called witticism and has the function of proverb.

This book is really interesting! I especially like the vivid characters in the book, such as "A Dou" and "A Er". Their stories made me laugh. Moreover, these idioms are very relevant to life, simple and easy to understand, and you can also learn many humorous expressions. For example, "meat on the chopping board--allowed to be slaughtered" is so vivid! This book is like a treasure trove of language, and I have learned a lot from it. I think it can not only bring joy, but also increase our language wisdom. It is worth reading!
It's very interesting. Many words in it made me realize the art of swearing [got it]
