Chinese people have many sayings handed down from the old times. Among them, Chinese love quotes are sweet sayings to use for weddings. You can use these love quotes for lovey-dovey conversations with your Chinese beloved – if you have one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this post, I\u2019ll share some famous Chinese love proverbs with their meanings. Let\u2019s get right in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. \u6709\u60c5\u4eba\u7ec8\u6210\u7737\u5c5e\u3002<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

(Y\u01d2u q\u00edng r\u00e9n zh\u014dng ch\u00e9ng ju\u00e0nsh\u01d4)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u60c5(q\u00edng) means love or affection. \u6709\u60c5\u4eba(Y\u01d2u q\u00edng r\u00e9n) literally translates to those with love, which means lovers. At the same time, the meaning for \u7737\u5c5e (ju\u00e0nsh\u01d4) is family dependent.<\/h6>\n\n\n\n
Altogether, the love quote \u201c\u6709\u60c5\u4eba\u7ec8\u6210\u7737\u5c5e\u201d means that the lovers finally got together and become a family.  In English, we also say, \u201cJack shall have Jill.\u201d

It is a famous proverb used in the weddings of newly wedded couples. In fact, this saying has a meaningful and romantic implication that all struggles are worth it. The couples might have faced many challenges overtimes to getting together finally.<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

2. \u6267\u5b50\u4e4b\u624b\uff0c\u4e0e\u5b50\u5055\u8001\u3002<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

(Zh\u00ed z\u01d0 zh\u012b sh\u01d2u, y\u01d4 zi xi\u00e9 l\u01ceo)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s take the words apart to find out their meanings. \u6267(Zh\u00ed) is to hold, \u5b50 (z\u01d0) in this sentence means you, and \u624b (sh\u01d2u) is hand. When put together, it means to hold your hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, \u4e0e(y\u01d4) is with, \u5055\u8001(xi\u00e9 l\u01ceo) means growing old together. So, \u4e0e\u5b50\u5055\u8001 (y\u01d4 zi xi\u00e9 l\u01ceo) means that I want to grow old with you together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This quote is more like a vow you can say to your lover. The complete definition is, \u201cI will hold your hand and grow old with you.\u201d Or, it can also mean \u201cto stay together till death and end.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. \u6709\u60c5\u996e\u6c34\u9971\uff0c\u65e0\u60c5\u98df\u996d\u9965\u3002 <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

(Y\u01d2uq\u00edng y\u01d0nshu\u01d0 b\u01ceo, w\u00faq\u00edng sh\u00ed f\u00e0n j\u012b)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This sentence is one of the Chinese quotes with two matching segments, which Chinese like to write idioms in this way. \u6709\u60c5(Y\u01d2uq\u00edng) means with love, and in the opposite, \u65e0\u60c5(w\u00faq\u00edng) means without love. Next, \u996e\u6c34(y\u01d0nshu\u01d0) is to drink water, and \u98df\u996d is to eat rice. Lastly, \u9971(b\u01ceo) means satisfied, and \u9965(j\u012b) means hungry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It says that if two people are really in love, drinking water is more than enough. In contrast, food would not satisfy when there is no love. This saying brings out the importance of true love in life, and we shouldn\u2019t give it up for the sake of material life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. \u5728\u5929\u613f\u4f5c\u6bd4\u7ffc\u9e1f\uff0c\u5728\u5730\u613f\u4e3a\u8fde\u7406\u679d\u3002<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

(Z\u00e0i ti\u0101n yu\u00e0n zu\u00f2 b\u01d0y\u00ecni\u01ceo, z\u00e0i d\u00ec yu\u00e0n w\u00e9i li\u00e1n l\u01d0zh\u012b)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This quote tells about the harmony of loving souls that wants to be together forever. It is also a matching proverb. \u5728\u5929(z\u00e0i ti\u0101n) means on the sky, and \u5728\u5730(z\u00e0i d\u00ec) means on the earth. \u613f\u4f5c(yu\u00e0n zu\u00f2) means that willing to be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now comes the interesting parts. \u6bd4\u7ffc\u9e1f (b\u01d0y\u00ecni\u01ceo) is a bird\u2019s name from the ancient Chinese legends. This bird only has an eye and a wing; thus, the male and female must fly side by side. It signifies the couple united by love and peace. At the same time, \u8fde\u7406\u679d (li\u00e1n l\u01d0zh\u012b) means two trees with branches interlocked forever. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. \u613f\u5f97\u4e00\u4eba\u5fc3\uff0c\u767d\u9996\u4e0d\u76f8\u79bb\u3002<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

(Yu\u00e0n d\u00e9 y\u012b r\u00e9nx\u012bn, b\u00e1i sh\u01d2u b\u00f9 xi\u0101ng l\u00ed)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u613f(Yu\u00e0n) means to hope, \u5f97(d\u00e9) is to get, \u4e00\u4eba\u5fc3(y\u012b r\u00e9nx\u012bn) literally means a person\u2019s heart. When combined, \u613f\u5f97\u4e00\u4eba\u5fc3 has a literal meaning of \u201dI hope to get a loyal and sincere heart.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u767d\u9996(b\u00e1i sh\u01d2u) is white hair, which signifies when we grow old. \u4e0d\u76f8\u79bb(b\u00f9 xi\u0101ng l\u00ed) means not to be apart. It means that I want to be with you and never be apart even when we are old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This proverb is hard to translate into English. But you can understand it in these ways. \u201cMay I be with you till the end of life,\u201d or,  \u201cI wish if I could have thee, till the day life do us apart.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. \u5c71\u65e0\u68f1\uff0c\u5929\u5730\u5408\uff0c\u4e43\u6562\u4e0e\u541b\u7edd\u3002<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

(Sh\u0101n w\u00fa l\u00e9ng, ti\u0101nd\u00ec h\u00e9, n\u01cei g\u01cen y\u01d4 j\u016bn ju\u00e9.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve come to the real romantic classical Chinese love quote. This saying is an oath to the heaven and earth of one person\u2019s faithful love.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s get direct to its meaning. It means that \u201cwhen the hills are all flat, when heaven and earth mingle, not until then will I part from you.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What makes this love quote so incomparable to other Chinese love proverbs? See, isn\u2019t it impossible for us to witness the time when a mountain becomes flat? And when the heaven and earth combine\u2026 Isn\u2019t this scene only seen in disasters movies that tell about the end of the world? That\u2019s why this saying signifies intense love that nothing could do them apart forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. \u6d6e\u4e16\u4e09\u5343\uff0c\u543e\u7231\u6709\u4e09\uff1a\u65e5\u3001\u6708\u4e0e\u537f\u3002 <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u65e5\u4e3a\u671d\uff0c\u6708\u4e3a\u66ae\uff0c\u537f\u4e3a\u671d\u671d\u66ae\u66ae\u3002<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

(F\u00fash\u00ec s\u0101nqi\u0101n, w\u00fa \u00e0i y\u01d2us\u0101n: R\u00ec, yu\u00e8 y\u01d4 q\u012bng. R\u00ec w\u00e8i zh\u0101o , yu\u00e8 w\u00e8i m\u00f9, q\u012bng w\u00e8i zh\u0101o zh\u0101o m\u00f9 m\u00f9)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Want another classic Chinese love quote to confess your love? Here you go. It is a meaningful love quote to include the universe, sun, moon, morning, and night. Then, the author ends the proverb with forever love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The English saying of this quote is, \u201cI love three things in the world, sun, moon, and you; Sun for the morning, moon for night, and you, forever.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interesting as it seems, \u671d(zh\u0101o) means morning, and \u66ae(m\u00f9) means night. When we mix them up, \u671d\u671d\u66ae\u66ae(zh\u0101o zh\u0101o m\u00f9 m\u00f9) is supposed to be days and nights. In Chinese, it also means forever. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
