The sheer fact that the use of clichés is highly encouraged in written and even literary Chinese (成語 among other idiomatics being a genre of clichés) but almost misprized in written English says so much about the interdependence of language and worldview/cognition or how they continually define each other, and how such contrasting preferences in the mode of narration reflect the differing weight of mass conformity on each culture, and how much higher in context written Chinese is compared to written English. #Randomness
