ABSTRACT

The four-character idioms are the unique products of Chinese character culture, and they were mostly come from the historical facts of China and Korea. These four-character idioms have implied meanings, which is their only strong point. They are classified by Korean ABC orders, topics, synonyms, antonyms, chronological orders, and sources etc. In modern society, it is necessary to apply these four-character idioms because they are not difficult to understand, furthermore, they have instructive, conductive, enlightening, mutually compensating and compromising meanings. Four-character idioms are justified in that they should progress towards enlightening a communal consciousness and leading our lives wisely. Our country's slogans were just temporary and politically advertised. Especially when organs concerned or mass media select the four-character idioms, they have to consider process rationality and the standard universals seriously. Popularization of Chinese characters has already begun. It has done not by education by internet culture. Internet culture is the products of popularization. Now is the time when we have to change our viewpoints for Chinese character idioms from the field of stored knowledge to that of emotional festivals. Enlightenment and popularization of societies by using four-character idioms are not merely the intellectuals' duties. We should try to enrich our lives through four-character idioms. That's the one way of recreating the classics.
