In the East, nothing is without meaning—often two at once. Symbolism pervades everything.
Winter Sweet (腊梅 làméi) and Titmouse (山雀 shānquè) are often used for chengyu
傲雪凌霜 [ào xuě líng shuāng ]— Proud amid snow and frost.

]]> It’s good when there’s a woman
Lady, dame, señora, femina!
And for a woman, the greatest honor
Is when there’s a man by her side!
And everywhere, especially here,
Where nature is quiet and innocent…

Oh, little Buuut-ter-fly with wings byak-byak-byak-byak,
And behind her, a Sparrow hop-hop-hop-hop,
He’s got her, the little thing, smack-smack-smack-smack,
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm, and sniff-sniff-sniff-sniff.

You’re my angel, you’re my ideal,
My little star, berry, fish.
Teeth like pearls, and lips like coral,
The chest and smile are great too!
I’ve never met anyone like you,
Let this mistake be corrected!

***
– Are you mad?!
– No, I am not. I`m so normal that I`m absolutely surprised by it.
– You are scoundrel!
– Yes! I am!
