just talk for the sake of talking

To put it bluntly, the Pinyin of Chinese idioms is g ū w à ngy á nzh ī, which means to say it casually for the time being. It comes from Zhuangzi's Qi Wu Lun.

The origin of Idioms

Chuang Tzu's Qi Wu Lun says, "Yu Chang is a woman (you) who talks in vain, and she (you) is also ridiculed for listening in vain."

Idiom usage

As predicate and attributive, it is more formal; it is used together with "listen to it rashly". It's just, which one can do it? (Chapter 29 of jiumingqiyuan) in Qing Dynasty, Zhao Yi's Oubei Shichao's qiyanlv's qizixi: "I'll tell you a smile. When will I choose Chang'an?" In Liaozhaizhiyi, yuyangshanren's inscription: "if you listen to it, it's like rain in the bean shed. I'm tired of writing human language, and I love to hear the songs of ghosts in autumn graves. " Ye mengde, Song Dynasty, wrote in Volume I of Shilin summer record: "every time Su Shi rises in Huangzhou and lingbiao, if he does not invite guests to talk with each other, he will come out and visit. They did not choose to travel with each other. They followed each other and talked about harmony and debauchery. If there is something we can't talk about, we can force it to talk about ghosts. Or if there is nothing to say, it is said that "let's talk in vain", so all the people who hear about it will go away with joy. "
