Python WordCloud meet AttributeError: 'list

When I using WordCloud function .fit_words(), I met AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'items'. It also doesn't work when I using .generate_from_frequencies(). How to figure it out? All suggestion will be appreciated. code:

wordcloud = WordCloud(font_path="simhei.ttf", background_color="white", max_font_size=80)
word_frequence = {x[0]: x[1] for x in words_stat.head(1000).values}
word_frequence_list = []
for key in word_frequence:
    temp = (key, word_frequence[key])
    word_frequence_list.append(temp)
wordcloud.fit_words(word_frequence_list)
plt.imshow(wordcloud)

word_frequence_list is

[('诺兰', 89), ('电影', 48), ('战争', 43), ('一个', 43), ('配乐', 40), ('故事', 38), ('人', 36), ('拍', 31), ('时间', 30), ('叙事', 28).....

When I use WordCloud.fit_word(), it shows AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'items'. It also doesn't work when I use WordCloud.generate_from_frequencies() How to fix it? Thanks :) Code: frequencies = [(u'知乎',5),(u'小段同学',4),(u'曲小花',3),(u'中文分词',2),(u'样例',1)] wordcloud = WordCloud().fit_words(frequencies) Error

fit_words want's your dictionary, not a list of key/value pairs. You can pass word_frequence directly.
