Chapter One Introduction
Proverb comes from life and it is the high enrichment and concentrated reflection of a nation’s language and culture. The conciseness and depth of proverb reflects a nation’s wisdom and life experience which obtained from hundreds even thousands years life. It’s the summary of ancestors’ advises and warning. It not only reveals the truth of life but also possesses great value for descendants to study the lifestyle and ideology of the whole nation.
