若要了解典故，必先了解其来源与深刻寓义。为了让读者深入认知东方典故，透彻了解东方文明，《你应该了解的1500个东方典故大全集》编者宋歌从上古时期流传至今的神话传说、历史故事、民俗谚语、寓言短句中选取常见典故约1500条，编撰成一本《你应该了解的1500个东方典故大全集》。该书尽量贴合原意，采用原书引文进行编写，不易懂的词语或语句则译成现代白话文。每则典故独立成文，内容完整，具有一定的情节，可读性较强。To understand an allusion, you must first learn about its origin and implied meaning. To enable readers to learn about Eastern allusions in depth and thoroughly understand Eastern civilization, Song Ge, the compiler of this book selected and included about 1,500 allusions from mythological tales, historical stories, folk proverbs, fables and short sentences passing down from Antiquity to date, finally forming this book called Collected Edition of 1,500 Eastern Allusions that You Should Know. This book, to the greatest extent, adheres to the original meaning of these allusions, and compiled from the direct quotes from the sources, with phrases or sentences that are difficult to understand translated into modern language. Each allusion stands on its own as an article with complete content and certain plots, thus highly readable.
