once in a blue moon
It means "very rarely", and comes from the English meaning: a month in which there are two full moons (they occur, but not often). Is there a similar expression in Chinese? hanzi + pinyin would be greatly appreciated :)

yes,千载难逢 is the accurate and exact equvalence of the idiom once in a blue moon, which means it is a really hard-won occasion or chance,etc~~~have a nice day
