I am once again asking a dumb question

What is a white moon/lotus? Or a green tea?
I just read the summaries of two stories that described characters as these things.
Who is coming up with these terms?(/TДT)/

    Idk green tea but
    White lotus is used to describe a character that is innocent and pure
    White moonlight is to describe a character that a certain character yearns for but cannot have

    For example, if ML loves a man who is studying abroad, he can’t have him therefore the said man is the ML’s “white moonlight”

    Chinese people are coming up with these terms. It's translations of Chinese phrases

    Aaah okay! Thanks!
    I didn't realize they were like translations. I thought it was new terms like the guideverse stuff (which I am also still learning lmao)
