Note: In the various dictionaries, this Chengyu is used to describe something which has great power, to the extent that no one dares approach it. The use of something being "popular" or "coveted" appears to be a mis-use (http://baike.baidu.com/view/76726.htm). It is used in this mannger in YourSing [sid:100876] How popular is this "wrong" usage?
