Research on the Compilation of Idiom Entries in Specialized Chinese Textbooks

Abstract

Since the "the Belt and Road" initiative was put forward, various connections between China and the world have increased, and the value of Chinese language teaching in specialized fields has rapidly increased. As an important part of Chinese as a foreign language, the importance of Chinese idiom teaching cannot be ignored. However, at present, the academic community does not attach enough importance to the compilation of idiom entries in specialized Chinese textbooks. This article focuses on business, medicine, and art textbooks for teaching Chinese as a foreign language. It compares the inclusion of idioms in the textbooks with general and specialized outlines, and studies the degree of correlation. It analyzes the writing of idioms in specialized Chinese textbooks, summarizes the shortcomings in the writing of idiom entries in the textbooks, and proposes writing suggestions.
