(ID: ) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/28/2019 I love the extension. It looks beautiful and always teaches me some new 成语. If I could make any suggestion, it would be for me to have the possibility to choose for example to only display like the 100 most frequent chengyu in modern chinese language, this way I could get in contact more effectively with the chengyu I actually will see and use in other context. Thank you and congratulations.
