Does the word proud exist in Chinese?
I know this is gonna get closed because it's more philosophical in nature but it's something that's brought up (subtle Asian traits, if curious)
the word proud is rarely used in Chinese culture and so does such a word truly exist in Chinese?
骄傲: proud
自豪: proud
而荣 (?) (why does this mean proud? dictionary entries don't mention this)
Sentences for "I'm proud of you:"
我以你为荣
我为你感到骄傲
我为你而荣

Of course we don't have the word 'pound' in Chinese because we don't use alphabets. It is insulting to suggest Chinese doesn't have the concept of proud. How about I ask "Does the word 禮貌 exist in American English?"

I don't think 而荣 is a word. 而 is just a grammar component, 为 sth./sb. 而 adj, feel adj(adv) for sth./sb.

Not really. If you check the meaning of 傲 and all the associate proverb, it is not rare. Indeed, the more normal translation of "proud of someone" is 引以为傲, 以某某为敖。
And many other associated word for proud you will rarely encounter in daily life usage , e.g.
- 傲骨 ， 傲气
Some is neutral
- 傲岸 haughty
- 傲视 despise
傲 also used negatively in following case
- 傲慢 arrogant

Only heard of 崖岸自高(have extremely high opinion on oneself) ; never heard of 傲岸; '傲视' is short for "傲视同儕" (proudly stand above one's peer). Proud can also be translated as "自負" . (having great pride in oneself)

@TangHo 傲岸 usage is rare also because it is a rare characteristic.自負is a rather negative term.

驕傲 actually is translated into arrogant (adj.) or arrogance (n.) with the same negative connotation in English.
