Chengyu are Chinese idioms that consist of four characters.
Although they originate from classical Chinese, Chengyu remain as

seem erratic and confusing to you at first since they don’t

on context. But don’t worry, in this Chengyu series, we will

the separate characters! In this lesson, let’s take a look at
four Chengyu with numbers 七 (seven) and 八 (eight) in them!
