Phraseologisms in the content of teaching Chinese at the initial stage
The article is devoted to the study of the content aspects of the methodology for teaching Chinese phraseology - Shuyu. The author describes five types of Shuyu: chengyu - idioms; guanyongyu - phraseological combinations; xiehouyu - omissions, allegories, or sayings with a truncated ending; yanyu - proverbs; suyu - saying. Based on this classification, the analysis of the content of education in two Chinese textbooks for the initial stage of education showed a low and insufficient representation of phraseological units in the content of education, which does not correspond to the importance of Chinese phraseology for learning the Chinese language and culture.
