The farts of others stink, but one’s own smells sweet
别人屁臭自家香 literally translates as:
Other people's flatulence stinks, [but] one's own is fragrant.
Figuratively, this means:
Some people criticize defects in others that they (seem to) treasure in themselves.
Fragrant / Good Smell
香 is the Chinese, Japanese Kanji, and old Korean Hanja that means: fragrant; sweet smelling; aromatic; savory; appetizing; perfume; incense; aroma; fragrance; scent; good smell.
Fragrance or incense is known to be one of the Buddha's messengers to stimulate faith and devotion.
Fragrant Herb / Housou
In Japanese, 芳草 means fragrant herb and is often used as a given name romanized as Housou or Hoso.
Note: Sometimes romanized as Yoshikusa.
Orchid
蘭 is the character for the orchid in Chinese, Japanese Kanji, and old Korean Hanja.
Also: Epidendrum.
蘭 is used in some contexts to mean fragrant, elegant, or refined.
蘭 can also be the Chinese family name romanized as “Lan.” However, it is not the only character that can be romanized as Lan.
In Japanese and Korean, this character means orchid but is also used as a suffix or short name for the Netherlands / Holland.
Rose Flowers Given, Frangrance Remains on Hands of Giver
赠人玫瑰手留余香 is a proverb that has been translated several ways:
1. Roses given, fragrance in hand.
2. You present others roses, and the fragrance remains.
3. The fragrance of the rose always remains on the hand of those that bestow them.
4. A little bit of fragrance always clings to the hands which gives the flowers
However, this literally translates as “Give someone rose flowers, [your] hands keep [the] remaining fragrance.”
