南葵向暖北栀倾寒
[nán kuí xiàng nuăn bĕi zhī qīng hán]
'Nan Kui Xiang Nuan Bei Zhi Qing Han' can be understood as 'sunflowers in the south seek warmth, while wintersweet in the north lean toward cold.' It symbolizes different choices and attitudes towards life or contrasting destinies or living conditions at various places. Here, 'nan'(south) and 'bei'(north) also sometimes indicate different characters: one yearns for light and warmth; the other remains graceful yet somewhat lonely despite facing difficulties. In a poetic way, it illustrates contrasts within life, personality, or circumstances
