What it does

Chinese Idioms is a clear, beginner-friendly guide to chengyu—the four-character expressions at the heart of Chinese culture. Look up an idiom by characters, pinyin, or English meaning, then explore its definition, origin story, natural example sentences, usage notes, and related curated collections. Built for Chinese learners who want more than a dictionary translation.

Look up chengyu meanings with pinyin, origin stories, natural example sentences, usage notes, and curated Chinese idiom lists.

Look up chengyu meanings, pinyin, origin stories, usage notes, and natural examples. Choose a learning path, a focused theme, or vivid animal imagery, then open the full directory for occasions such as New Year. Start with beginner, common, and essential chengyu collections. Collections built around vivid symbols such as dragon, horse, and tiger. Chinese idioms, often called chengyu, are compact expressions that carry a story, image, or cultural lesson. Many are four characters long, but the real value is in understanding when the expression fits modern speech and writing. A chengyu can work like a shortcut: four characters may refer to an old anecdote, a mistake to avoid, a way to praise…from chinese-idioms.com

    I replaced a $120k bowling center system with $1,600 in ESP32s▲2,935

    I might be the only SRE on Earth with his own bowling center. It's a more in-depth gig than you'd think. My family and I bought an abandoned 8-lane bowling center in the rural mid-west. In our small town there weren't many recreation options for families. You've heard of a food desert? This is an R&R desert. It had been abandoned for a good reason. The roof leaks, the electrical system was constantly surging, and my 70-year-old bowling equipment (still) doesn't work perfectly. The system that keeps your score is particularly interesting to me. It's the thing you watch during your game, but…

    Bento - An entire PowerPoint in one HTML file (edit+view+data+collab)▲1,033

    Over the past few months, our team has been building more and more slidedecks using web frontend technologies with coding harnesses like Claude Code, but a common complaint is to make even small edits we need to edit the code either manually or via the harness. To avoid this loop, I ended up creating Bento, a single HTML file with everything you need in a slide tool including animations and shared editing. There's no install or cloud login, everything works offline. The default deck is around 560 KB and it doesn't need to fetch anything once you got it. Open it in a browser and then you can…

  • Getting GLM 5.2 running on my slow computer▲937

    A few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me. But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility. I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context.…

  • OpenSEO▲928

    Hello! For the last 2 months, I've been building OpenSEO. It's a user friendly UI wrapping the DataForSEO API which has high quality SEO data for keywords, backlinks, AI SEO and competitor research. Instead of paying $100+ per month, you buy DataForSEO credits and pay only for usage. The coolest thing about the project so far has been hearing about what people are building on top of it. People are using coding agents to quickly integrate with Google Search Console, Google Ads and building their own AI SEO and reporting features. Many were already building their own custom solutions around…
