A House Might be Worth 1 Million Dollars, But Good Neighbors are Worth 10 Million
bǎi wàn mǎi zhái qiān wàn mǎi lín
百万买宅千万买邻 is a Chinese proverb that literally translates as:
[It may cost a] million to buy a house, [but] ten million to find [good] neighbors.
Figuratively, this means:
Good neighbors are hard to find.
Good neighbors are even more important than the quality of one's house.
Longevity / Long Life Wishes
A wish for a long and prosperous life
fú rú dōng hǎi shòu bǐ nán shān
福如東海壽比南山 is a phrase that means “May you have good fortune as great as the eastern oceans, and may your life last as long as the southern mountains.”
In ancient Chinese mythology, the eastern oceans and southern mountains are where God resides (basically it is the same as saying “heaven”). So it's like saying, “May your good fortune and life be as vast as the heavens.”
There is also a longer, 14-character version of this phrase. Also, this can be cut into two scrolls (with half the phrase on each side - great for hanging on either side of a doorway). Just let me know if you'd like a special version (there is an additional cost).
