nnozomiAbout chengyu: I’m working on collecting them from the Guardian script; so far I’m through the first 10 episodes with about 180 (!), suggesting that the whole show is likely to produce a list of five or six hundred, jeez. At three a day that would keep us occupied for most of the year, but I’m also considering doing more per day, on organizing principles such as “numbers,” “animals,” “colors,” “including such-and-such character” etc. etc. Let me know any preferences?
