第四年第六十二天

[nnozomi]

成语
明察秋毫 to observe even the smallest things, not to miss a thing
螳螂捕蝉黄雀在后 to pursue small gains while neglecting greater danger (lit. the mantis stalks the cicada unaware of the oriole behind)
千辛万苦 untold hardships, trials and tribulations (lit. a thousand pains and ten thousand sufferings)
明察秋毫 míng chá qiū háo; 螳螂捕蝉黄雀在后táng​láng​ bǔ​ chán huángquè zài hòu; 千辛万苦 qiān xīn wàn kǔ
...and that concludes all the chengyu from the Guardian script, although there are probably a few in there I missed. I'm quite pleased with myself for being able to group them by common characters for all but the last three days. Suggestions for what to address next, please?

词汇

Guardian:
夜尊大人，神武盖世，明察秋毫，仙福永享，寿与天齐, Lord Ye Zun, mighty and powerful, perspicacious, may you live in fortune and long life
我是故意放走了赵云澜，好让老板你螳螂捕蝉黄雀在后, I let Zhao Yunlan go on purpose, so as not to let you pursue small gains and neglect greater danger
你以为我千辛万苦地把他留到现在是为了什么, what did you think I went to such pains to keep him for?
其实我第一眼见你的时候，我就喜欢上你了, actually, the first time I laid eyes on you I fell in love with you.

Me:
你真的明察秋毫，我没发现那些小错误。
其实他还在这里。

Oh wow, we actually reached the end of the Guardian chengyu list? I remember you saying it would take about a year to get through them all at three per day... just totally did not realize it had already been a year since then! It was very neat that they were all grouped by common characters. :)

I keep meaning to say, I really appreciate all the links to the MandarinBean quizzes. I always enjoy getting to try them out and see how I do. (I still need to go back and do a bunch that I've missed or skipped.)

I don't have any ideas for what to do next, though I liked some of the suggestions in the comments on this post! I keep thinking it would be fun to do something more interactive, so I especially liked sakana17's idea of some kind of language game or activity.

The chengyu did go by very fast! Also glad to put in the MandarinBean stuff--as far as explanations are concerned I prefer the Chinese Grammar Wiki, but as you say I love the quiz aspect.

I liked some of the suggestions in the comments on this post! I keep thinking it would be fun to do something more interactive, so I especially liked [personal profile] sakana17's idea of some kind of language game or activity.
Yes, that sounds very promising! Will see what I can come up with.

Wow! \o/ It's been so interesting to see how they were used in Guardian. Thank you for the hard work of compiling them and then arranging them by common characters!

[nnozomi]

Very much my pleasure! No hard work, I enjoy messing around with this kind of thing ;)

Wow!!!! I can't believe you managed to work your way all the way through it! That's so amazing!

I liked the idea of doing something with radicals, or characters. No idea what that would look like, though ...

[nnozomi]

The chengyu seem to have gone by very fast!
Will keep in mind the radical/character idea, that sounds very promising.
