① By default, the keyword can be in any position, but you can also choose to have it only at the beginning or only at the end.
For example: Idioms starting with the character "一" and ending with the character "技".
② This program supports wildcard queries. "?" matches any single character, while " " matches multiple characters.
For example: Four-character idioms where the second character is "然", idioms in the format "一（）二（）", or idioms containing both "千" and "万".
③ If you're unsure which specific character an idiom uses, you can input just the initial consonant (shengmu). The program features a pioneering "homophone search" function, which is especially suitable for people from southern China. You can use this when you hear an idiom but aren't sure whether it uses a flat tongue or curled tongue sound, or a front nasal or back nasal sound.
For example: Two consecutive characters with the initial "A", homophone query for "手猪带吐".
④ This comprehensive idiom dictionary includes over 50,000 idioms and provides various search conditions such as idiom entries, explanations, sources, synonyms, antonyms, riddles, and proverbs.
For example: Idioms originating from *Records of the Three Kingdoms* or idioms whose explanations include the term "melancholy".
⑤ Clicking on an idiom will display more detailed information about its explanation, usage, and source.
