Chinese Proverbs

Posted by Unknown On Monday, January 23, 2012 6 comments
During Chinese New Year people hang small messages or wishes called Hui Chun in and around their homes and offices, hoping for good fortune during the year. There are many different Hui Chun depending upon the occasion and circumstance. There are Hui Chun asking for sufficient food, domestic harmony, special wishes for the elderly and some wishing students good luck in their studies. Here's one specially for my blog readers and friends.


Today is the first day of the Chinese New Year! As we usher in the Year of the Dragon, may these Chinese proverbs to give you wisdom and guidance. Enjoy.

Wishing all my Chinese friends and relatives Xīnnián kuàilè wànshì rúyì! 新年快乐万事如意!

One kind word can warm three winter months.

A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.

Keep a green tree alive in your heart and a songbird may come to sing there.

You cannot prevent the birds of sorrow from flying over your head, but you can prevent them from building nests in your hair.

If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape a hundred days of sorrow.

Be not afraid of growing slowly, be afraid only of standing still.

The gem cannot be polished without friction, nor man perfected without trials.

Better to light one small candle than to curse the darkness.

Tell me, I’ll forget. Show me, I may remember. But involve me, and I’ll understand.
