overblown blossoms

have a fishbone caught in one's throat

flaunt one's red rag

Cherish the memory of the past

shine with great splendour

Ancient news

Impartial and honest

fame and fortune

be born and raised in a place

Each acts without consulting the other.

without even the spirits knowing about it

Be a bully under the protection of a powerful person

high walls and deep moat-a defended city

consider oneself to be a hero

be mere trash(Absurd!)

be content with temporary easeand comfort

retire after having made one's mark

both ancient and modern,Chinese and foreign(at all times and in all countries)

Upright and outspoken

pearlescent(radiate brilliant light)
