(单词翻译:双击或拖选)
Right here have you noticed that the traditional Chinese character for “爱 ài, love“ consists of three parts with meanings for  ”family, heart and friend“? If you have a kind heart inside for your family and friends, that means “爱 ài, love”.  You see, Chinese characters are picturesque for you to understand its unique culture in this way!

As one kind of the most ancient characters, Chinese characters have played a significant role in the development of Chinese culture. Originally, ancient Sumerian and ancient Egyptian symbols existed, but only Chinese characters remain today. based on pictographs, Chinese characters combine shapes with sounds and connotations to form unique, block-shaped characters that carry meaning.

Double trees makes a bush, under which is set a caution board, the caution goes:

           “Axes and saws enter the hills and forests only at the appropriate time.”

Note:

This couplet is another fantastic match. The last two parts of poems are the essence: 明 with 月, 斧 with斤, and ending with the two key characters  “寺” and “林”.

明月送僧归古寺 was from a Tang poem, and 斧斤以时入山林 was from Mencius — Axes and saws enter the hills and forests only at the appropriate time.  It is still useful today for enviromental protection of forest — forest sustained yield. Mencius proposed that “If closely knit nets are not allowed to enter deep pools and ponds, the fishes and turtles will multiply until ample is left for food; if axes and saws enter the hills and forests only at the appropriate time, there will be more than adequate timber for all uses.” (数罟不入洿池,鱼鳖不可胜食也;斧斤以时入山林,材木不可胜用也).

What Mencius was advocating was the principle of appropriateness and self-control. If humankind employs the wisdom for which it has the capacity, and rids the world of such scourges as sandstorms, the world will then be a better place to live for all concerned.
