Both languages evolved independently from each other, which makes any similarities all the more interesting. Today we will discuss some Chinese proverbs (\u8afa\u8a9e y\u00e0ny\u016d) and idioms (\u6210\u8a9e ch\u00e9ngy\u016d) that have\u2014almost exact\u2014English equivalents. Does this mean that these expressions are universal truths; identical ideas that have developed on opposite ends of the world? Maybe, let us know what you think."}
