摘要：一直以来，经济学以其深厚的理论知识和庞大的知识体系，成为了一门热门的学科。经济学是一门贴近人们生活的学科,人们在日常生活里遇到的问题，许多能从经济学的角度去思考，如沉没成本在决策中的应用。中国熟语在中国文明史上扮演着重要的角色，它们言简意赅且生动形象，不仅概括了许多生活中的真理也暗含着深刻的经济学思想。熟语和经济学理论存在着联系，如奇货可居能用稀缺性的角度来阐释。本文分析了一些中国熟语的文化背景来解释相关的经济理论,通过分析熟悉的成语，揭示所蕴含的经济学原理及研究经济学理论和生活的联系。作者基于中国学者在这一领域的研究发现，进一步研究了成语中蕴含的西方经济学智慧，从而证实中国文化的博大精深。
