Friendship, character, and belonging — in a form your child sees every day.

Based on our article, 12 Chinese Proverbs on Friendship, this set turns 12 verified Chinese proverbs and sayings — on hardship, true understanding, choosing friends, and staying close across distance — into a clean, print-ready poster collection.

This set includes 管鲍之交, the story of Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya — one of the richest and most-loved friendship stories in Chinese history — as a stand-alone poster, making it a natural conversation-starter for a classroom or family discussion, not just a decoration.

What’s included:

• 12 individually designed posters, one per proverb (including the 管鲍之交 story poster)
• Two print-ready files per poster — A4 and A3 — included in every purchase, no separate purchase needed for the larger size
• Every poster includes the Chinese characters, pinyin, and the English meaning in full
• Clean, uncluttered layout — easy to read from across a classroom or room
• Instant PDF download; print at home or at any print shop

Who it’s for:

teachers building character-education or social-emotional lessons, parents helping a child through friendship ups and downs, and heritage families with friends or grandparents overseas — 海内存知己，天涯若比邻 speaks directly to that experience.

Ways to use it:

hang 君子之交淡如水 near a reading corner, use the 管鲍之交 poster to introduce the full story in class, or send 海内存知己，天涯若比邻 as a card to a friend who’s moved away.
