成语所承载的人文内涵非常丰富和厚重，大量成语出自传统经典著作，表达着臧否人伦善恶、境界高下的中国价值观。堪称中华文化的“活化石”，是值得大加推广的，中华民族宝贵的文化遗产。与《中国汉字听写大会》相比，《中国成语大会》在保留相似竞赛形式的基础上，融入了更多独特多元的创新构思，并力邀毕淑敏、蒙曼、郦波等多位重量级文化名人担任评判嘉宾，希望能够细致展现中国成语独有的语境之美。

The humanistic connotation carried by idioms is very rich and profound. A large number of idioms come from traditional classics, expressing the Chinese values of whether human relations are good or evil, and whether the realm is high or low. It can be called the "living fossil" of Chinese culture, it is worth promoting, and it is a precious cultural heritage of the Chinese nation. Compared with the "Chinese Characters Dictation Competition", the "Chinese Idiom Congress" has incorporated more unique and diverse innovative ideas on the basis of retaining similar competition forms, and invited many heavyweights such as Bi Shumin, Meng Man, and Li Bo to participate in the contest. Cultural celebrities serve as judges, hoping to show the beauty of the unique context of Chinese idioms in detail.
