Sacred Spring, Primavera sacra, is an Italian spring festival centered around conquest and fighting, which had to be paused during the winter. This was driven by overpopulation and the resulting emigration and settling in new territories. The entire ritual is dedicated to the Roman god of war, Mars.

This Chinese proverb is as simple as it is clever: 越挫越勇 yuè cuò yuè yǒng – The more difficulties you have, the braver you become. As a verb, the Chinese word 挫 cuò means “to chop off” or “to grind”. So it can be translated: The more grind (you suffer), the more courage (you’ll gain).
