Chinese Proverbs and Idioms basically tell the story of a person, family or person. There are some idioms that tell a past event such as the phrase "cheng men li xue", which means that someone admires and respects their teacher. During the Song Dynasty, there was a Chinese philosopher named Cheng Yi, he lived with his brother in Luoyang city. Cheng Yi had a student named Yangshi and lived in another city. One day, Yanshi decided to visit his teacher on a very stormy day. When he arrived at his teacher Cheng Yi's house, he saw that his teacher Cheng was still sleeping. So, Yangshi thought for a moment, whether she should go in or stay out because she really respects her teacher and doesn't want to wake him up. Yangshi finally decided to wait outside and stay in the snow until his teacher got up. When Cheng Yi finally got up from his nap, the snow had already covered Yangshi. Thus, the idiom "cheng men li xue" is used to describe someone who honors their teacher. In the Chinese idiom, "ming luo sun shan" indicates that a person is failing in the exam or competition. During the Song Dynasty, there was a man known as a prankster and his name is Sun Shan. Sun is a student and took an imperial exam with the other contestants. After Sun Shan took the test and waited to get the results, his name was at the bottom of the list of people who had passed. When Sun Shan returned home from the imperial test to his house, then once he returned home, he met his neighbor dad. His neighbor's father wanted to know if his son was dead, so he asked Sun. Sun replied that his neighbor's son came after him, and Sun said that he was already at the bootom. After Sun made a joke of it, the term 'ming luo su......in the middle of the paper......came from a scholar. The expression 'ba tu er fei' means not to give up on something halfway. During the Song Dynasty, there was a man named Le Yang, who married and continued his education for about a year, then dropped out. Le Yang decided to stop going to school and return to her home. When he arrived at his house, he saw his wife for the first time and she asked him why he had come back; then he responds like this because he cares and needs to connect with her. Le's wife took the cloth she was working on and cut it in half. He explained to Le that stopping his education is like stopping halfway like cutting fabric. He thought about it and returned to continue his education, but this time he did not return for about seven to eight years when he succeeds. After all that was over, "ba tu er fei" became known as the idiom meaning don't give up halfway until you finish it.
