现在分词consisting of作idioms的后置定语；because引导原因状语从句．
with many of Chinese idioms widely used in our daily life，a good knowledge of them contributes to better understanding both spoken Chinese and written Chinese．
with+名词+分词构成短语，在句中作伴随状语．
Not only are they interesting，but also they tend to teach some wisdom，which helps me a lot．
not only…but also…连接并列句；which引导非限制性定语从句修饰句子内容．
