Using 身体健康
身体 means “the body” and 健康 means “healthy”, so 身体健康 is “(may your) body (be) healthy”. It is the go-to blessing for elders: at Chinese New Year and on birthdays, children say 祝您身体健康 to grandparents, often right after 新年快乐.
The phrase also opens get-well cards for anyone who is sick. In Traditional Chinese it is 身體健康 — only 体 changes, to 體. For young writers, the four characters climb steadily in difficulty, which makes the phrase a satisfying mini-lesson on its own.
