Chengyu containing only 1 tone (all 4 characters are the same tone)

I had noticed several chengyu for which all 4 characters are the same tone. I was curious to find more of these chengyu, so I conducted some analysis on the chengyu in my Chinese Anki deck. Some notes about my criteria:

I decided to exclude chengyu like 从从容容 and 浩浩荡荡 that are the same two characters repeated.

If only one character was repeated, I did not exclude the chengyu.

Some of these chengyu do not fit the criteria if you study Taiwanese pronunciation. I marked them with an asterisks*.

1st tone

忧心忡忡 yōuxīnchōngchōng - deeply worried and sick at heart

息息相关 xīxīxiāngguān* - closely bound up / intimately related

居安思危 jūānsīwēi* - to think of danger in times of safety / to be vigilant in peacetime

声东击西 shēngdōngjīxī* - to threaten the east and strike to the west / to create a diversion

卑躬屈膝 bēigōngqūxī - to bow and bend the knee / fawning / bending and scraping to curry favor

惺惺相惜 xīngxīngxiāngxī* - people of talent appreciate one another / to sympathize with one another

2nd tone

籍籍无名 jíjíwúmíng - unknown / lacking fame and reputation

4th tone

跃跃欲试 yuèyuèyùshì - to be eager to give something a try

大错特错 dàcuòtècuò - to be gravely mistaken

对症下药 duìzhèngxiàyào - to prescribe the right medicine for an illness / to study a problem to find the right way to solve it / to take appropriate steps

就事论事 jiùshìlùnshì - to discuss sth on its own merits / to judge the matter as it stands / to consider the matter in isolation

上当受骗 shàngdàngshòupiàn - to be duped or deceived

自作自受 zìzuòzìshòu - to reap what one has sown / to stew in one's own juice

面面俱到 miànmiànjùdào - take care of everything / handle everything

各就各位 gèjiùgèwèi - (of the people in a group) to get into position / (athletics) On your mark!

Bonus:

If you are learning Taiwanese pronunciation, then here is an additional chengyu that will be all 2nd tone:

突如其来 túrúqílái - to arise abruptly / to arrive suddenly / happening suddenly

I pronounce it as tūrúqílái, so it does not fit the criteria for me.

[Definitions are adapted from MDBG.]

🌿🌕✨

外国的月亮比较圆 - “the moon is rounder in other countries”

A funny phrase I learned today, the equivalent of “the grass is always greener on the other side”!

Do you feel that way sometimes too? 🌝

Mandarin learning material recommendations:

My favorite Mandarin dictionaries:

—

MDBG

I’m not even gonna try listing all of the features because there’s just so many and I’ve used it for many years now and on a daily basis. Not to mention it is constantly updated. In terms of features and overall quality, MDBG is the best in my opinion.

MandarinSpot’s Annotator

Sometimes has slightly different definitions compared to MDBG, and someone it will have the definition for words that MDBG does not have entered yet. Also, it helpful for anyone who reads Chinese best horizontally as opposed to listed vertically like on MDBG.

Pleco (app)

Most similar to MDBG, but for your smart phone.

—

Important Note:

Please keep in mind that none of these dictionaries are perfect and language is constantly evolving, so new terms are not likely to be in any of these dictionaries. there is not many moderators for these dictionaries so sometimes definitions and words won’t be entered in for weeks or even months.

If you find yourself with some thing that is clearly a word but does not have an English definition entered into either of these dictionaries it works best to look up the definition in Chinese on Baidu Dict or Google, or even check out Wikitionary/Wikipedia.

PLEASE COMMISSION ME I BEG YOU

This post is about some of the non-flower flowers...

老花 Lǎo huā (lit. old flower) presbyopia. basically it's the phenomenon that makes things you see blurry, due to old age.

天花 tiān huā (lit. sky flower) smallpox. It's named after it's the rash/ blister caused by smallpox.

天花板 tiān huā bǎn (lit. sky flower board) ceiling. This is actually from back in the days when they painted the ceiling with lotus flower.

豆花 dòu huā (lit. bean flower) a soft tofu dessert. Which comes from the full name 豆腐花, meaning tofu that is not pressed. But what does it have to do with flower? no idea.

棉花 mián huā (lit. cotton flower) cotton. The white fluffy part of the cotton plant, which is not the flower part but the boil of the plant.

蔥花 cōng huā (lit. onion flower) diced green onion. Note that nothing else diced is named in this way. If you say 洋蔥花 (not a real term!) I'll think of the fried onion appetizer awesome blossom.

蛋花 dàn huā (lit. egg flower) when you beat eggs and cook them in soup to make them look like...scattered...soft..silky pieces of eggs.

and a fun one: 花心 huā xīn (lit. flower heart) adjective to teasingly describe someone who have romantic interests in others easily. This is usually used for CRUSHES and not actual relationship, which makes the term kind of funny and somewhat harmless.

It's someone who tends to develop crushes easily and often on different people. Can be used with both guys and girls. The opposite term would be 專情 zhuān qíng. Also, 花心大蘿蔔 huā xīn dà luóbo is a playful way to call a guy that likes a bunch of girls. (Lit means flower heart big turnip. )

This really shows how Chinese people *date* differently than the western culture, doesn't it?

The language is quite simple and the sentences are short which is good for language learning. The overall story is also engaging.

Chinese Time of Day Vocabulary

I’ve been keeping a list of words/characters related to times of day since last year. You probably know basic words like 早上, 上午, 晚上, etc. But there are so many other words and characters you may encounter in your language journey! Note: this list isn’t meant to be complete.

Sunset (I think) by Tian’anmen Square about 3 years ago.

Dawn/early morning

天亮 tiānliàng - dawn / daybreak

日出 rìchū - sunrise

早 zǎo - early / morning / Good morning! / long ago / prematurely 一大早 yīdàzǎo - at dawn / at first light / first thing in the morning 早上 zǎoshang - early morning

旭 xù - dawn / rising sun

晓 xiǎo - dawn / daybreak / to know / to let sb know / to make explicit 破晓 pòxiǎo - daybreak / dawn

朝 zhāo - morning 朝阳 zhāoyáng - the morning sun

黎明 límíng - dawn / daybreak

The single characters above can be found in Chinese names. Some are quite common.

Daytime

夕 xī - dusk / evening / Taiwan pr. xì 夕阳 xīyáng - sunset / the setting sun

天黑 tiānhēi - to get dark / dusk

日落 rìluò - sundown / sunset

暮 mù - evening / sunset

汐 xī - night tides / evening ebbtide / Taiwan pr. xì

霞 xiá - rose-tinted sky or clouds at sunrise or sunset 晚霞 wǎnxiá - sunset glow / sunset clouds / afterglow 彩霞 cǎixiá - clouds tinged with sunset hues

黄昏 huánghūn - dusk / evening / nightfall

Night

夜 yè - night 半夜 bànyè - midnight / in the middle of the night 夜晚 yèwǎn - night 夜深人静 yèshēnrénjìng - in the dead of night (idiom) 夜色 yèsè - night scene / the dim light of night 夜里 yèli - during the night / at night / nighttime 夜间 yèjiān - nighttime / evening or night 大半夜 dàbànyè - the middle of the night 深夜 shēnyè - very late at night 黑夜 hēiyè - night

Now hopefully you have some more words to describe beautiful sunrises and sunsets and everything in between 🌄🌇

🧑‍🔬🧑‍🔬🧪🧪 Chemical elements (化学元素) 🥼🥼⚗️⚗️

I have learned something amazing which is that the Chinese word for sodium (Na) is … 钠 (nà)! If only they all matched like that!!

Ex: 低钠酱油 (dī nà jiàng yóu) - low sodium soy sauce

Sometimes you may see the word 卤 (鹵/滷，lǔ, halogen or salt) used to describe dishes or sauces, such as 卤肉饭 (lǔ ròu fàn, braised pork rice), 打卤面 (dǎ lǔ miàn, noodles with thick gravy), 卤虾油 (lǔ xiā yóu, shrimp sauce).

Here is the first three rows of the periodic table!

Hydrogen (H) - 氢 (qīng)

Helium (He) - 氦 (hài)

Lithium (Li) - 锂 (lǐ)

Beryllium (Be) - 铍 (pí)

Boron (B) - 硼 (péng)

Carbon (C) - 碳 (tàn)

Nitrogen (N) - 氮 (dàn)

Oxygen (O) - 氧 (yǎng)

Fluorine (F) - 氟 (fú)

Neon (Ne) - 氖 (nǎi)

Sodium (Na) - 钠 (nà)

Magnesium (Mg) - 镁 (měi)

Aluminum (Al) - 铝 (lǚ)

Silicon (Si) - 硅 (guī)

Phosphorus (P) - 磷 (lín)

Sulfur (S) - 硫 (líu)

Chlorine (Cl) - 氯 (lǜ)

Argon (Ar) - 氩 (yà)

And a few more useful ones:

Iron (Fe) - 铁 (tiě)

Gold (Au) - 金 (jīn)

Silver (Ag) - 银 (yín)

Examples:

地铁 (dì tiě) - subway; short for (地下铁道, “underground iron path”)

金银 (jīn yín) - gold and silver, can be used to refer to ancient currency

穿金戴银 (chuān jīn dài yín) - to be dressed in gold (clothes) and silver (ornamentation) (idiom)

Radical practice

Notice how all of the above (except gold) have a radical based on 金 (钅, metal, gold), 气 (air, gas), or 石 (stone). Makes sense based on each element right? ;)

Hey guys, look at this chinese poem I found!

Hanzi:

施氏食狮史

石室诗士施氏, 嗜狮, 誓食十狮。

氏时时适市视狮。

十时, 适十狮适市。

是时,适施氏适市。

氏视是十狮, 恃失势,使是十狮逝世。

氏拾是十狮尸, 适石室。

石室湿,氏使侍拭石室。

石室拭, 氏始试食是十狮。

食时, 始识是十狮, 实十石狮尸。

试释是事。

Pinyin :

Shīshì shíshī shǐ

shíshì shī shì shī shì, shì shī, shì shíshí shī.

Shì shí shíshìshì shì shī.

Shí shí, shì shí shī shì shì.

Shì shí, shì shī shì shì shì.

Shì shì shì shí shī, shì shī shì, shǐ shì shí shī shì shì.

Shì shíshì shí shī shī, shì shíshì.

Shíshì shī, shì shǐ shì shì shí shì.

Shí shì shì, shì shǐ shì shí shì shí shī.

Shí shí, shǐ shí shì shí shī, shí shí shí shī shī.

Shì shì shì shì.

English translation:

Shi's history of eating lions

Shi Shishi, a poet in the stone room, was fond of lions and swore to eat ten lions.

It is always appropriate to see the lion in the city.

At ten o'clock, the ten lions are suitable for the city.

It's time for Shishi's market.

Shi regarded the ten lions as ten lions, and lost his power, so that the ten lions died.

Shi Shi is ten lion corpses, suitable for stone chambers.

The stone room was wet, so the clergyman wiped the stone room.

The stone room was wiped, and Shi Shi first tried to eat ten lions.

When eating, the first consciousness is ten lions, which are actually ten stone lion corpses.

Explanation is a thing.
