Chinese is the largest population in the world. The total number of Chinese in the world is more than a billion people. Even in the Middle Ages, the Chinese began to spread widely around the world, but primarily in neighboring states. Chinese emigration acquired a wide scope in the second half of the 19th and first half of the 20th centuries. Overseas, the Chinese live in almost all countries of the world.

Religiously, the Chinese adhere to their scale of spiritual values, built on the principles of deep syncretism. Chinese is part of the Thai-Chinese group of the Sino-Tibetan family of languages.

Every thing has two halves
And without one, you won't understand the other.
Throughout the long history of development in the Chinese language, many proverbs and sayings, phraseological units, quotations and aphorisms have appeared that have come from literary works, folklore and the ordinary life of ordinary Chinese.
For the Russian-speaking population, most of them, when translated, are perceived strange and not quite familiar, but for the inhabitants of the Celestial Empire themselves, they are necessary, like air, and are often used in everyday speech and writing in hieroglyphs.
Fact. Most often, it is almost impossible to understand the meaning of a saying or a wise saying from a simple translation, since behind each idiom there is a long or short story, without understanding which all the beauty and weight of the expression loses some of its meaning. In addition, Chinese proverbs sound rhythmic and rhyme only in their native language, and when translated into Russian they are pronounced in prose or by the sound of a phrase similar in meaning.
History of Chinese Proverbs
Any nation in the course of its development is gaining worldly experience, passing it on from generation to generation. Before the spread of writing in China and at a time when education was inaccessible to ordinary people (many Chinese are still illiterate), winged expressions, quotations, useful conclusions about changes in nature, observations about human relations were transmitted from older generations to descendants in the form of witty sayings and idioms that are easy enough to remember.
In modern Chinese, there are a large number of wise proverbs and sayings. They have different origins, but they perform the same task - they give speech an emotional coloring. The Chinese call them chenyu, usually utterances consist of 4 syllables. Most of the chenyu originated from wenyan, the language of ancient Chinese writing, which practically did not remain in modern Chinese, but there are also expressions that are more modern in origin.
According to their source, Chinese expressions, quotations and phraseological units are divided into several types:
- descended from religious Chinese beliefs - and Taoism (“Buddha must be covered with gold, and people with clothes”).
- coming from other languages. In addition to the Chinese themselves, another 55 nationalities live in the territory of the Celestial Empire, their representatives brought their idioms to the language of the country (“If there is water in the pond, then there is a fish in it”).
- phrases from literary works.
- Phrases that came from the life of ordinary peasants.
- Sayings reflecting folk wisdom (“You can catch a horse that has been released, but you can’t return the spoken word.
Proverbs by category with meaning
In addition to division by origin, all statements can be divided by subject.
Beautiful
A good memory is much worse than the end of a bad brush. Writing down information is always more reliable than just remembering it.
The world always gets a little better if people do things not for themselves but for each other.
About love

Love from the first moment. Most often it is said about a person, but sometimes it is also used for things.
About friendship
If a person is a friend to all, then he is not a friend to anyone.
If you wish to receive the heart of another, under no circumstances should you abandon it.
About labor
Any difficult task is very difficult at first (the eyes are afraid, but the hands are doing).

About wisdom

A strong person will cope with one obstacle, and a wise person will overcome a whole path.

beautiful quotes
In China, the expressions of the sages expressed in books are greatly honored and quoted.
- Who shows my mistakes is my teacher. Whoever notices my correct actions is my friend. The one who only flatters is the enemy. Han Xiangzi.
- The family is not an exclusive place where people need to be decent, but the first of them. Han Xiangzi "Favorites".
Statuses
Status is an opportunity for each person to express their own thoughts and feelings or to attract additional attention to themselves. Every day, millions of Chinese people start their day with one habitual action - go online and go to their page in social networks. Everyone wants to know what news is there since the last time a person was online, what's new with colleagues, acquaintances, relatives. The easiest way to detect this is to simply read the user's current status. With the help of status, a person informs everyone about his mood, state of affairs and desire to communicate.
Interesting fact. Many of the names given to Chinese children are pronounced like hashtags.
Statuses in Chinese can be very different: funny, witty, sad, intriguing, and so on. With the help of statuses, the user increases interest in his person. Because of the status, you can gain a reputation as a witty, positive, sociable person, which is further reflected in relationships in real life.
Older Chinese try to appear educated and sophisticated and try to choose statuses from the statements of famous people. Young girls write about guys, often ironically, or about eternal love and betrayal.
The most popular statuses in Chinese:
- It is a pity that I do not have the opportunity to express my love to you in the language of flowers - there are not so many red roses ...
- Can't love be far away? The sun is very far away, but warm.
- Love can live at a great distance. She is able to survive everything, if a person really wants it.
- If you wake up in the morning and feel that you overslept, sleep some more to feel complete confidence in this.
- First you will live with me, and later you will go home.
Aphorisms
An aphorism is an original logically complete thought expressed and written down in a short phrase and then repeated by other people. The Chinese quite often use the aphorisms of the great sages:
- The person who steals one hook will be executed, and the one who steals the kingdom will be its ruler. (Mengzi).
- A real person is very simple and kind, not subject to emotions, always calm and inactive. (Chuangzi).
- If you don't understand what your kids have become, take a look at their closest friends. (Xun Tzu).
- The main law of worthy people is to do good and not swear among themselves. (Lao Tzu).
- Considering the ordinary man, see how he accomplishes the greatest things. Considering the outstanding, see how attentive he is to all the little things. (Chen Jiru)
- They do not stay long: a young wife with an old husband; a beautiful servant of a jealous mistress (Huang Yun Jiao).
- A noble person, having fallen into trouble, does not grieve, but when he gets to a holiday, he does not shy away from the general joy. He is not afraid of the strong and helps the weak. (Hong Zicheng).
