Idioms have the following basic characteristics:
1, structural fixity
The components and structural forms of idioms are fixed, and it is generally impossible to change or increase or decrease morphemes at will. For example, "cold lips and teeth" cannot be changed to "cold lips and teeth", "cold lips and teeth" or "cold lips and teeth"; "No ink in the chest" cannot be added as "No ink in the chest". In addition, the word order in idioms is fixed and cannot be changed at will. For example, "context" cannot be changed to "context"; "Great achievements" cannot be changed to "great achievements".
2. Integrity of meaning
Idioms are holistic in meaning. Its meaning is often not the simple addition of its constituent meanings, but the overall meaning further summarized on the basis of its constituent meanings, such as "Smith", which is ostensibly "Smith" but actually "bullying others by taking advantage of their power".
The rabbit died and the dog cooked. On the surface, it is said that "the rabbit is dead and the hounds are ripe", but in fact it is said that "the people who serve the rulers are abandoned or killed when they are finished". On the surface, "forgetting to eat and sleep" means "forgetting to eat and sleep", but in practice it means "extremely concentrating" 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 phrases can act as different components in sentences, the grammatical functions of idioms are also varied. Chinese idioms have many forms.
As mentioned above, there are four-character idioms, five-character idioms, six-character idioms, seven-character idioms and eight-character idioms, among which four-character idioms are the main forms of Chinese idioms. Therefore, the analysis of the grammatical function of idioms here mainly focuses on the analysis of four-character idioms as syntactic components.
