💡 Cultural Insight: ba bei zi (eight lifetimes)

Influenced by Buddhist concepts of reincarnation, Chinese folk culture often uses 'ba bei zi' (eight lifetimes) as an extreme hyperbole to describe immense spans of time, accumulated karma, or deep resentment, as seen in phrases like 'dao le ba bei zi mei' (having eight lifetimes of bad luck) or 'xiu le ba bei zi de fu' (accumulating blessings over eight lifetimes).
