[ **up: [[Chinese language--Idioms]]** ] --- # It’s just that your hair’s a bit green 就是头发有点绿 > Original: 就是头发有点绿. The literal translation is “It’s just that your hair’s a bit green”. This is referring to a green hat or the act of being cuckolded. This is part of an expression that translated into something like: To live a decent life, you must have a little green on your head. It pretty much means as long as you’re tolerant and close your eyes to certain stuff, you will lead a happier life, which is basically the equivalent of “ignorance is bliss”.[^1] [^1]: Xi Zixu, *[[Xi Zixu.
