Idioms have the following basic characteristics:
1. Structural fixity
The components and structural forms of idioms are fixed, and generally cannot be changed or added or deleted at will. For example, "the lips are dead and the teeth are cold" cannot be changed to "the lips are dead and the teeth are cold", "the lips are dead and the teeth are cold", "the lips are cold without teeth"; "the chest has no ink", nor can it be increased to "the chest has no ink". In addition, the word order in idioms is also fixed and cannot be changed at will. For example, "the ins and outs" cannot be changed to "the ins and outs of the situation," and "the great contributions" cannot be changed to "the great contributions."
2. Integrity of meaning
Idioms have integrity in meaning. "Its meaning is often not a simple sum of the meanings of its constituent components, but an overall meaning further summarized based on the meaning of its constituent components." 2 For example, "the fox fakes the tiger's power", the superficial meaning is "the fox fakes the tiger's power", The actual meaning is "relying on the power of others to oppress others"; "the rabbit dies and the dog is cooked", the superficial meaning is "the rabbit dies, the hunting dog is cooked", but the actual meaning is "those who serve the ruler are abandoned after they are done." Or kill"; "forgetting to eat and sleep", the superficial meaning is "ignoring sleep and forgetting to eat", but the actual meaning is "extreme concentration and hard work" and so on.
3. Diversity of grammatical functions
From the perspective of Chinese grammar, Chinese idioms are equivalent to a phrase in a sentence, because a phrase can serve as different components in a sentence , so the grammatical functions of idioms are also diverse. Chinese idioms have various forms. As mentioned above, there are four-character idioms, five-character idioms, six-character idioms, seven-character idioms, eight-character idioms, etc. Among them, four-character idioms are the main form of Chinese idioms. Therefore, the analysis of the grammatical functions of idioms here mainly focuses on the analysis of four-character idioms serving as syntactic components.
