Chinese Character – Green Grass

Introduction:

With the development of urban greening, we see greening slogans becoming more and more people-oriented and fraught with more literature connotations. The original slogan, “请勿践踏小草”(Please Keep Off the Grass) has been replaced by “青草依依请您爱惜”(Take Care of the Swaying Green Grass) or“请您足下绕一绕,小草对您笑一笑” (Watch Your Step, the Grass Will Thank You With a Smile).
