ABSTRACT
Mountains are a part of objective reality, and blue mountains (青山) are a symbol of it in Chinese culture. 青山绿水 (blue mountains and green waters) is a synonym for beautiful scenery. We hope friendship lasts forever, just like the blue mountains never grow old and the green waters always flow on (青山不老, 绿水长流). 644 If you failed, a Chinese would comfort you with a saying 留得青山在, 不怕没柴烧 645 (keep to the blue mountains and you don’t have to worry about where to get firewood, while there is life, there is hope).
