At the moment, it is raining on the west side of the building where I live and the east side has no rain. This makes me think of this Teochew saying:
|
huang1 si5
hou6 loh8 m6 guê3 cang5huan7 |
|
風時雨落唔過田垾｜风時雨落唔過田垾 |
What is a cang5huan7? In Standard Chinese is cang5gên2 田埂 which is an embankment or
footpath between fields.
The above saying describes the localised nature of thunderstorm in which it would rain on one field but not the other.
cang5huan7 田垾
