four-character idiom
post #3604003 一日一善 (ichi nichi ichi zen) - doing a good deed each day
A four-character idiom is a type of traditional East Asian idiomatic expression consisting of four CJK characters.
The concept is not exclusive to a single culture or language:
- Chinese - chengyu (成語)
- Japanese - yojijukugo (四字熟語)
- Korean - sajaseong-eo (四字成語)
- Vietnamese - thành ngữ (成語)
Four-character idioms are considered the collected wisdom of their cultures of origin, and contain the experiences, moral concepts, and admonishments from previous generations. They still play an important role in East Asian conversation and education.
