The phrase "素心若Snow" (sù xīn ruò xuě) "a pure heart like snow"
In this phrase:
"素心" (sù xīn) means "pure heart" or "innocent heart." It refers to someone who is sincere, genuine, and has a kind and unblemished character.
"若" (ruò) is a particle that often means "like" or "as."
"Snow" (xuě) means "snow."
So, "素心若Snow" is a poetic way of describing someone who has a pure and untarnished heart, often used in literature or poetry to praise someone's virtuous or uncorrupted character. It's a metaphorical expression that compares the person's inner qualities to the purity and whiteness of snow.
