Features: Chinese ancient proverbs are the gold of Chinese civilization and the treasures of the wisdom of the Chinese people. They have shone for thousands of years and sparkled for hundreds of generations. They may originate from ancient times, or come from famous poems and articles, or be spoken by great thinkers and philosophers. Some elucidate principles and inspire people to strive forward, while others, though seemingly negative and containing impurities, can still be used in reverse. They are concise, profound, and possess considerable literary appreciation value, serving as timeless golden sentences for personal conduct, social interaction, self-positioning, and career building.
The book Chinese-English Timeless Proverbs aims to open its arms to the world, allowing foreigners to better understand the wisdom and civilization of the ancient Chinese nation, and also to facilitate Chinese people in introducing Chinese civilization to foreigners in English.
The book Chinese-English Timeless Proverbs collects over 2,000 English translations of Chinese ancient proverbs, which are broadly divided into nine categories and arranged in alphabetical order within each category.
The book emphasizes practicality, with translations that are elegant and authoritative, making it widely suitable for overseas Chinese who love Chinese culture, as well as being an invaluable learning reference for English enthusiasts in China.
