Top 20 Chinese Quotes about Love

Sometimes, challenges that life throws at us are so unexpected and peculiar that we can’t cope with them on our own, so we seek advice. Our friends and loved ones often try to suggest a solution, but their experience, unfortunately, isn’t always enough to give a really good piece of advice. That’s where centuries-old Chinese wisdom comes in. The philosophical teachings of China have spread worldwide years ago and gained well-deserved recognition.

Tormented by wars, conflicts, and dictatorships, China seems to have always been an endless source of wise quotes and proverbs. Whether you’re having a hot dispute, writing an essay, or just having fun with a couple of single women in a video chat, there will always be some smart quote that you can use to your advantage.

In fact, Chinese proverbs mostly have little to do with love and romance. Usually, their goal is to help you find meaning in life, explain human behavior, or just impress your potential date. However, there are a few touching lines that are truly beautiful.

Here are some Chinese quotes and aphorisms that will teach you a thing or two about love.

1) “With affection, the lovers could feel enough though they only drink water, but without affection, the lovers could be hungry though they eat food.” 

2) “In the heaven, we shall be birds flying side by side, and on Earth, we shall be twinned trunks flowering sprigs on the same branch.” 

3) “Love is not about possession, it’s all about appreciation.”

7) “Separated as we are, thousands of miles apart, we come together as if by destiny.” 

8) “Love is not in possession but in respect.” 

9) “If you think you know what love is, you don’t know it.”

Maybe, these love proverbs will help you express the depth of feelings you have for your special someone. Although they’re just a tiny piece of eternal Chinese wisdom, you can rest assured that they’ll give the right answer to what’s going on deep in your heart better than a thousand text messages.
