Phrases

In our Chinese language, a phrase is the best to express our complicated ideas in four words.
Phrases are only four characters, but their meaning is great. A learned Chinese person, can write an article in phrases.
We use phrases in our daily life in conversation. Writing them saves us a lot of time to communicate complicated meanings. Readers can understand well.
In the English language, phrases are not so popular. Maybe because the language is different, the use of phrases is also different.
In our Chinese way of life, if a person can use more phrases in his way of life, he must have a high education.
Foreigners learn Chinese. Even if they study many years of Chinese, they may not use the phrases well. It is something about our Chinese customs.
We learn phrases from our life, from books, from traditions, which last for a few thousand years already.
