Abstract

Chinese idioms are affected by many factors in the formation process. This article analyzes the structure and evolution of Buddhist idioms from the perspective of prosody, and demonstrates the strong effect of prosody on Chinese word formation. First, this article will use the theory of prosody to analyze the Buddhist idioms included in the “Xinhua Dictionary of Idioms”. Secondly, it will take “dang tou bang he(a sharp warning)” as an example to analyze the formation of the idiom of Buddhism, as well as some problems in the etymology and dictionary interpretation of “dang tou bang he”.
