This Chinese-English dictionary of proverbs (yanyu) consists of approximately 4000 Chinese proverbs. They are alphabetically arranged by the first word(s) (ci) of the proverb, according to the Hanyu Pinyin transcription and Chinese characters (standard simplified), followed by a literal

(and when necessary also a figurative) English translation.

Additional data such as brief usage notes, sources, parallel expressions, cross- references, and famous instances of use are provided where available. The proverbs are supplemented by an index of key words (both Chinese and English) found in all entries and of all topics addressed. The author has provided a scholarly introduction analysing the definition, structure, usage, and history of these yanyu in traditional and contemporary China as well as a bibliography of collections and relevant scholarly studies of yanyu.
