As long as we want to learn Chinese, and as long as we carefully pay attention to in everyday life, everywhere is full of resources to learn Chinese. A Chinese proverb say "Look for all the knowledge."

The popular phrase is mainly used in daily communication. It is generally more understandable and intelligible. For foreign friends who begin to learn Chinese, learning the popular phrase is a more efficient means of learning Chinese. Now, I will bring a popular phrase in today's China:神马都是浮云 (shénmǎ dōu shì fúyún) Everything is nothing on the Chinese lesson!

A post in 2010 made the saying, "神马都是浮云 (shénmǎdōu shì fúyún)" become a popular phrase throughout China. It is used broadly in various ...
... areas of society, especially on TV shows. "神马 (shénmǎ)" literally means the horse who acquires the ability to use magic. But in this situation people use the "谐音 (xiéyīn) partial tone between "神马 (shénmǎ)" and "什么 (shénme)" so that "神马 (shénmǎ)" is "什么 (shénme)" in the phrase and means "what."
The word "浮云 (fúyún)" literally means floating clouds, but here it refers to the things that are written with water, such as money, and fame. This meaning originated from the Confucius attitude towards "riches and honor." Combined with "神马 (shénmǎ)" and "浮云 (fúyún)," the phrase "神马都是浮云 (shénmǎ dōu shì fúyún)" means "everything is nothing." Now people also say "…都是浮云 (…dōu shì fú yún)" or "一切都是浮云 (yíqiè dōu shì fúyún)" to mean the same thing.
Today people usually use the partial tone function when chatting online to make sentences more interesting, such as using "童鞋 (tóngxié)" instead of "同学 (tóngxué)" to mean students. But it is a phenomenon of language usage that is not accepted as part of standard Chinese.
