With the increasing development of China, in today's world, China plays an increasingly important role in international affairs. Learning Chinese has become a fashion trend in the world. That is to say, Chinese has been a language widely used by a large amount of people in the world. As we all know, there are many ways to learn Chinese. Learning general Chinese is a very interesting idea.

When you are learning Chinese culture, you could find that Chinese have developed a rich culture around the general Chinese. When you learn Chinese, you can meet a lot of general Chinese. Today, I learn the general Chinese: 说曹操，曹操到(shuō Cáo Cāo, Cáo Cāo dào) Speak of the Devil and He Appears on my Chinese lesson.

Origin:
The story about “说曹操，曹操到(shuō Cáo Cāo, Cáo Cāo dào) speak of the devil and he appears” was from《三国演义(sānguó yǎnyì)》The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. 汉献帝(Hàn Xiàndì) Han Xiandi (an emperor in ...
... the Han dynasty) was attacked by 李催(Lǐ Cuī) Li Cui and 郭汜(Guō Sì) Guo Si. At this time, someone “推荐(tuījiàn) recommended” “曹操 (Cáo Cāo) Cao Cao” to help him get out of the woods. 汉献帝(Hàn Xiàndì) Han Xiandi agreed and ordered a person to send a message to 曹操 (Cáo Cāo) Cao Cao. But before 曹操 (Cáo Cāo) Cao Cao could receive the message, he had ordered his understrapper 夏侯敦(Xià Hóudūn) Xia Houdun to come to save 汉献帝(Hàn Xiàndì) Han Xiandi. As a result, 李催(Lǐ Cuī) Li Cui and 郭汜(Guō Sì) Guo Si were destroyed by 曹操 (Cáo Cāo) Cao Cao, who was “授予(shòuyǔ) conferred” higher title because of the victory. Since then, the proverb “说曹操，曹操到(shuō Cáo Cāo, Cáo Cāo dào)” was widespread.
Usage
“说曹操，曹操到(shuō Cáo Cāo, Cáo Cāo dào)” literally means “Speak of Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrives.” The phrase refers to the time when you are talking about someone, and he or she appears immediately. 说(shuō) means to talk; 到(dào) means to arrive or to come; 曹操(Cáo Cāo) Cao Cao is a particular character in “三国演义(sānguó yǎnyì) The Romance of the Three Kingdoms,” but now it refers to any person.
A real scenario:
A: I hear that Han Mei is preparing for the Super Girl Draft, how is it going?
B: I heard that too, but neither do I know how it goes!
（At this time, The third person comes）
C: Hi! What are you talking about?
A: We are talking about you, and here you come: Speak of the devil and he
arrives! (Laugh)
