Today's idiom: 披荆斩棘(pī jīng zhǎn jí)
The idiom is from Annotations on the History of the Later Han Dynasty by Fan Ye in Nan(Southern) Song Dynasty (1127–1279). In 30 AD, Feng Yi went to Luoyang (located in Henan), the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty (25 AD - 220 AD), to worship Emperor Guangwu. Emperor Guangwu introduced to officials that Feng Yi was the founding hero of the Dynasty when he cut the way through thistles and thorns and removed obstacles for him. Chinese people use it to describe starting a career or resolving difficulties on the way forward.
今日成语：披荆斩棘
该成语出自南朝·宋·范晔《后汉书·冯异传》。公元三十年，冯异到京城洛阳朝拜光武帝。光武帝向文武百官介绍说，当年起兵时，冯异为其劈开荆棘，扫除障碍，是东汉的开国功臣。比喻开创事业或在前进道路上清除障碍。
