手如柔荑
[shŏu rú róu tí]
Literally translated to 'Hands soft like reed', drawing inspiration from classic Chinese poetry comparing gentle hands to fresh young reeds (a grass-type plant). This choice exalts qualities akin to femininity, tenderness and refinement. Reed, known in poetry for its graceful appearance and supple strength, reflects attributes of elegance combined with adaptability - idealized female beauty intertwined with subtler strength and warmth which may suggest kindness, nurturing nature, poise or sensitivity towards one’s surroundings.
