  要言不烦
  yàoyán-bùfán
  [give the essentials in simple language;important statement need not be prolix] 要:简要。烦:烦琐。指说话简明扼要
  成语出处: 《三国志·魏书·管辂传》:“晏含笑而赞之曰:‘可谓要言不烦也。’”
  成语典故:“要言不烦”出自《三国志·魏书·管辂传》。三国时代,魏国冀州(今河北冀县一带)刺史裴徽部下文学从事管辂,是个很有才学的人。他精通《周易》,全国出名。正始九年(公元248年)十二月间,吏部尚书何晏宴请管辂。想听他谈谈《周易》;同时特邀请尚书邓扬相陪,以示重视。可是,管辂在开始的交谈中,却不谈《周易》中的事。邓扬就间管辂:“君见谓善《易》,而语初不及《易》中辞义,何故也?”管辂回答说:“夫善《易》者不论《易》也。”对这个回答,当时在场的、掌管军事大权的何晏甚为赞赏,笑着说道:“可谓要言不烦也”。
  这就是“要言不烦”的来历。其意思是指言论简明扼要,不琐。
  释义:要:简要;烦:烦琐。指说话或写文章简单扼要,不烦琐。
  【易错】:要言不繁
  【近义词】:言简意赅、简明扼要
  【反义词】:长篇大论、洋洋洒洒、拖泥带水
  【语法】:主谓式;作谓语、宾语;含褒义
  例句: 是的,那——《中国国粹义务论》,真真要言不烦,百读不厌!(鲁迅《彷徨·高老夫子》)
