Word game #3: 分享成语,share a chengyu

So I've spent a probably unreasonable amount of time thinking about how to modify the game "word dragon" so that people can play it individually AND in a group (not that group games aren't great, just that it's fun to have both options) and I'm temporarily conceding defeat.

Instead, I propose "share a chengyu" day!* Since it's the year of the loong, here are two great options:

1) Comment with a chengyu that includes 龙/龍/🐲/loong/dragons. (Feel free to include the meaning or just the chengyu itself.)

OR

2) Comment with any chengyu you like! It's like the "ticky box" option on a poll ♥ Favorite chengyu, one you heard or used recently, whatever springs to mind.

*Inspired by how great the Pleco app is: it not only provides contextual examples for word use, it also provides chengyu involving particular characters (if you look up the character and then click "words" for sample words, chengyu including that character will be included on the list).
