Precious
zhēn guì de
This is an adjective that means “precious” in Chinese.
Wild Rose
yě méi guì
野玫瑰 is the simplest way to write “wild rose” in Chinese.
The first word literally means wild. The second is the single-character form of rose or roses (plural or singular is not specified in Chinese characters). This can also be translated as “sweet briar.”
Time is more valuable than Jade
bù guì chǐ zhī bì ér zhòng cùn zhī yīn
不贵尺之壁而重寸之阴 literally translates as: Treasure not a foot long [piece of] jade, [rather] treasure an inch of time.
Figuratively, this suggests that time is the most important/valuable thing in life.
Daodejing / Tao Te Ching - Chapter 9
chí ér yíng zhī bù rú qí yǐ chuǎi ér zhī bù kě cháng bǎo jīn yù mǎn táng mò zhī néng shǒu fù guì ér jiāo zì yí qí jiù gōng suì shēn tuì tiān zhī dào
This text is the ninth chapter of the Daodejing / Tao Te Ching.
The text reads:
持而盈之、不如其已。揣而梲之、不可長保。 金玉滿堂、莫之能守。 富貴而驕、自遺其咎。 功遂身退、天之道。
This classical Chinese passage comes from the Mawangdui (馬王堆帛書) text.
Dr. Charle Muller translates it this way:
To hold until full is not as good as stopping.
An oversharpened sword cannot last long.
A room filled with gold and jewels cannot be protected.
Boasting of wealth and virtue brings your demise.
After finishing the work, withdraw.
持而盈之不如其已揣而梲之不可長保金玉滿堂莫之能守富貴而驕自遺其咎功遂身退天之道 is the Way of Heaven.
Dr. Muller's translation of all 81 Daodejing chapters
