Chinese Proverbs: Words of Wisdom
Have you ever heard your parents or grandparents say things that sound really wise and make you stop and think? In China, we have many old sayings called proverbs that teach us important lessons about life. My favorite Chinese proverbs are full of cool imagery and neat stories. Let me share some of the best ones with you!
One proverb that my grandma loves is "After being trapped in a well, you fear the very sight of it." This means that after going through a really bad or scary experience, you might get too scared to try that thing again, even if it's totally safe now. Like if you fell into a deep well when you were little, you'd probably be terrified of wells for a long time after that!
Another proverb warns "Don't listen to someone scolding you on the street, because they don't know the whole story." This reminds us not to jump to conclusions when we hear someone criticizing another person, because we don't have all the facts. There could be a good reason for what that person did that we don't know about. It's better to get the full story before taking sides.
Here's a mysterious one: "One rayless particle wandered about the Dipper and was lost among the bushes." My dad explained that this means if you get distracted and lose focus on your goals, you can end up totally lost and waste a lot of time. You have to stay concentrated, like following the path of the stars without getting pulled off track.
One of the funniest proverbs is "With money you can make the devil push the millstone for you." It's a really vivid way of saying that if you're rich, you can get people to do hard work for you, even incredibly difficult tasks like pushing a huge millstone!
I guess it's true that money can't buy you happiness, but it sure can buy a lot of helpers.
There are also proverbs that teach kindness, like "If you climb a tree, you must let down the ladder so others can climb too." This means we should help and support people, not just think about ourselves. If we have advantages, we should share them and help others succeed too. That seems like a good lesson for kids and grown-ups!
My brother's favorite is "When you kill a beast, do not destroy its young," which means you shouldn't go overboard and be too cruel or harsh. Like if you defeat someone, you don't need to completely crush their hopes too. Leave a little mercy.
That's probably good advice for little brothers when they beat me at video games!
Some Chinese proverbs are really poetic, like "The stars are bright surrounded by moonlight, the birds are singing accompanied by the fragrance of flowers." It describes something beautiful to inspire you to appreciate the lovely world around you. I love how it mixes different nice sights, sounds and smells together to paint a pretty picture with words.
One proverb about being patient is "One inch at a time is the right policy for removing a plant from the soil." You can't just yank it out all at once or you'll damage the roots. You have to go slowly and carefully to transplant it properly. That reminds me that sometimes I need to take my time instead of rushing through things.
There's even a proverb about telling the truth: "Falsehood puts a lock before its mouth while truth keeps its path open." Lies have to hide and get tangled up, but the truth can go straight and doesn't need to be locked away. This is a wise saying about how honesty makes life simpler in the long run.
I hope you enjoyed learning about some classic Chinese proverbs! They might sound a little strange at first because they use different metaphors and imagery than English sayings. But
once you understand them, they have such creative ways of teaching valuable life lessons. I'm going to try following their wisdom as I grow up.。
