北方姑娘南方少女
[bĕi fāng gū niáng nán fāng shăo nǚ]
'Bei Fang Guniang Nan Fang Shɑonǚ' (北方姑娘南方少女) meaning ‘a girl from the north, a young maiden from the south,’ emphasizes regional diversity in character: strong and straightforward typical northern Chinese girl attributes contrasted with the softer qualities of southern China girls. This may reflect a complex and multifaceted personality.
