Proverbs

结草衔环 jié cǎo xián huán Generously repaying a debt of gratitude. The story is of Yang Bao who nursed a sick bird back to health. After he had released the Siskin into the wild he dreamed of the bird carrying grass tied in rings in its beak which transformed into a boy wearing precious jade rings. In gratitude, the boy then gave Yang Bao enduring good fortune.
