[1] 知音人- Literally means knowing music. stems from an old Chinese story about 伯牙 (Bo Ya), a highly skilled qin player during the Spring and Autumn/Warring States Period (春秋战国), and é’Ÿå­æœŸ (Zhong Ziqi) who was able to decipher Bo Ya's thoughts through the melodies he played. After Zhong Ziqi's death Bo Ya ceased to play music as he thought no one could understand his music like his old friend. Thus the phrase is used to refer to an intimate friend who can understand you. 

 

[2] å‰æ— å¤äºº- Chinese Idiom - means no one has ever done this/none have gone before you etc. 

 

[3] 地çƒäºº- literally translates to earthling but that sounds quite strange.
