Chinese is a language packed with centuries of cultural wisdom and storytelling tradition. It’s only natural that there exists a slew of funny Chinese proverbs designed to give you a chuckle.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These proverbs<\/span> are a terrific way to catch a break from your language studies and they give both literal and figurative meaning to words by effectively organizing the structure of the sentence or phrase.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are 9 <\/span>funny Chinese proverbs<\/span> to make your Chinese language learning experience a heck of a lot more entertaining!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lu\u00f2t\u0101ngj\u012b<\/strong><\/em>
A Chicken falls in soup<\/span><\/em>
The characters read ‘fall’, ‘hot water’, ‘bird’. When translated accurately it means “A Chicken falls in soup.” It is ironic, because no sensible chicken would willingly boil itself in hot water. I guess when applied to life it can also mean “A person who made a mistake”.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

T\u0101nhu\u0101lu\u00e0nzhu\u00ec<\/strong><\/em>
A mouth like running water<\/span><\/em>
While this Chinese proverb is beautiful when it comes to the character composition, the meaning is still a bit of stretch when translated. The characters read ‘heaven’, ‘flowers’, disorder\/chaos\/riot’, ‘fall’. This unique combination of characters means to talk as if flowers were raining down from heaven in a chaotic fashion. Simply speaking it can be translated to an English idiom. “A mouth like running water.” or, ‘a chatterbox’.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Man who drives like hell to get there<\/span><\/i>
This one is for all you speed demons out there who drive like it is your last day on earth. Whenever I ride in my brother’s car, I accept my faith before I step in car because I know he is going to be doing 80mph in a 40mph zone while texting on his phone. I always tell him “You’re driving towards your end.” This proverb, while amusing is a clever way of cautioning reckless drivers.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

A man with one chopstick goes hungry<\/span><\/i>
Have you ever tried eating with one chopstick? Not only is it impossible, but it’s impossible (see what I did there?) I would call this a <\/span>funny Chinese proverb<\/span> because it is truly frightening to think about sitting in front of a big bowl of gyoza and steamed rice with one chopstick. On a more figurative level this proverb is saying “Find the balance in your life.”<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

A man who pees on a fence, receives shocking news<\/span><\/i>
Who in their right mind pees on a fence, an electrical one in fact? If I had to convey a figurative meaning for this “shocking idiom” it would be “Don’t try to solve a problem, while you’re creating your own.”<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

A man who eats crackers in his bed, wakes up feeling crummy<\/span><\/i>
Admit it, this is comedic gold\u2026crummy? OK, maybe that was a bit sarcastic. Anyways, the only thing I can think of when I hear this proverb is to not be greedy and eat too much food, especially before bedtime.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

NSFW <\/span>Funny Chinese Proverbs<\/span> for Private Laughs<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These are Chinese proverbs that are specifically made for short outbursts of laughter. These are not so commonly used in casual conversation; however, you might see them somewhere in a slang book due to the slightly “NSFW” nature of them.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A foolish man gives his wife a grand piano. A wise man gives his wife an upright organ<\/span><\/i>

Man with a hand in pocket feels cocky all day<\/span><\/i>
Okay, okay settle down kiddies. This one speaks for itself and can go in several ways depending on your interpretation. \u00a0Nonetheless, it’s extremely clever and Confucius ought to be proud of this creation.

A man who fights with his wife all day doesn’t get any piece at night<\/span><\/i>
If you’re wondering if I typed that right, I did. At first it took me a while to get it, then I remembered that English is a language with a lot of homonyms.  The word “piece” in this scenario means something other than what you think it means\u2026 “piece of what?”<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
