南街九尾狐北街九命猫
[nán jiē jiŭ wĕi hú bĕi jiē jiŭ mìng māo]
A vivid, fantastical setting: 'Nine-tailed foxes on South Street, nine-lifed cats on North Street.' In East Asian mythologies, the nine-tailed fox is seen as wise yet elusive creatures; while Western traditions regard nine-lifes as luck or immortality. This reflects a mix of mystical themes.
