Exploring idiom chain
The question involves connecting "悲从中来" to "琳琅满目" via a chain of idioms, where each idiom's last character matches the next idiom's first character. "悲从中来" ends with "来," and "琳琅满目" starts with "琳." So, I need idioms that start with "来." One chain could be "悲从中来" -> "来日方长." From there, we need one starting with "长". Another option could be "来龙去脉." Eventually, we need to find an idiom ending with "琳."
Finding minimal idiom chain
I'm trying to figure out the shortest chain of idioms between "悲从中来" and "琳琅满目." "悲从中来" ends with "来," and "琳琅满目" starts with "琳." So, I need an idiom that ends with "琳." I tried looking into chains with idioms like "脉脉含情," "来龙去脉," but none really seem to lead to a minimal solution. I believe "琳琅满目" itself needs a connecting idiom that ends with "琳," but I haven’t found such a common idiom yet.
Seeking minimal idiom chain
I'm still searching for a minimal idiom chain from "悲从中来" to "琳琅满目." I’m thinking of idioms like "珠围翠绕," "青瓦白墙," or "凤箫龙吟," but they don't work, as none end with "琳." "美轮美奂" isn't quite right either. Maybe trying something like "来日方长" -> "长驱直入," could help, but it’s still a bit unclear. I might need to look for known chain puzzles online that might provide some insight.

Considering the idioms
Hmm, this seems tricky! I'm wondering if there's a chain where the starting and ending characters match. I keep thinking of idioms like "来龙去脉" or "琳琅满目," but they don't quite match up. The chain seems excessively long, and there may be alternative minimal paths I'm missing. Maybe the chain involves steps like "悲从中来" leading to "来龙去脉," but finding a good phrase to connect that with "琳琅满目" is tough. I'll need to narrow it down to maybe just three or four idioms at most!
