Overview
The humanistic connotation carried by idioms is very rich and profound. A large number of idioms come from traditional classics, expressing the Chinese values of whether human relations are good or evil, and whether the realm is high or low. It can be called the "living fossil" of Chinese culture, it is worth promoting, and it is a precious cultural heritage of the Chinese nation. Compared with the "Chinese Characters Dictation Competition", the "Chinese Idiom Congress" has incorporated more unique and diverse innovative ideas on the basis of retaining similar competition forms, and invited many heavyweights such as Bi Shumin, Meng Man, and Li Bo to participate in the contest. Cultural celebrities serve as judges, hoping to show the beauty of the unique context of Chinese idioms in detail.
