Does anyone know of any Chinese service that sends or publishes a regular A Word A Day for native Chinese speakers to expand their own vocabulary? I'm having trouble finding one, even though these are really easy to find for English (e.g. Merriam-Webster, Oxford English Dictionary).

iciba:每日一句 e.g. July 25: With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine. 我用同样的激情去寻求知识。我希望能理解人类的心灵，希望能够知道群星为何闪烁。– user6065Commented Jul 25, 2018 at 2:16

1Most Chinese native spearkers won't think about or need "expanding their vocabulary" once they graduated middle school because the nature of Chinese language is quite different from western languages. But some "A Quote A Day" services are quite popular.– Anna Zhian ZhouCommented Jul 25, 2018 at 13:09

The Android app is not listed in GooglePlay store. Is there any link to the mentioned app you can post?– hc_devCommented Apr 22, 2020 at 16:43
