Tips
culture
The 2004 album 七里香 sold over 3 million copies and defined Jay Chou's (周杰伦) golden era. The title track's lyrics by 方文山 (Vincent Fong) open with 窗外的麻雀在电线杆上多嘴 ('sparrows outside the window chatter on the telephone pole') — now one of the most-quoted opening lines in Mandopop.
usage
Literally 'seven li fragrant' — folk name for the orange jasmine, whose scent supposedly carries for 七里 (~3.5 km). The plant meaning is older; the song made the phrase universally recognizable.
