Compiled here for the first time in Yale romanization are 2,000 common Chinese sayings, idioms, proverbs, and other figures of speech. The entries are arranged in two series: once in alphabetic order according to the Yale romanization and then again by the stroke-count of the Chinese characters. The romanized entries are accompanied by several English translations which convey various usages of the entry. Cross-reference numbers and indexes to both romanized and character forms are provided to further aid the user. (JD)
