Double Ninth Festival

The Double Ninth Festival, also namedChong YangFestival, falls on the ninth day of the ninth month of the Chinese lunar calendar, hence it gets name of Double Ninth Festival. On this day, people would like to drink chrysanthemum wine and have chrysanthemum cakes.

The chrysanthemum is a plant often used as a Chinese herbal medicine. People in ancient times believed that, in addition to detoxifcation, chrysanthemum could drive away evil spirits and prevent one from getting a chill in late autumn. So, making and drinking chrysanthemum could be traced back
many centuries, and it became the traditional food on Double Ninth Festival, to avoid evil spirits and misfortunes. Besides, the Chinese word for wine isJiu, a homonym of the Chinese word for long, symbolizing longevity.

Another special food for this festival is chrysanthemum cakes. The Chinese word for cake isGao, a homonym of the Chinese word for high, symbolizing progress and promotion at work and in daily life and improvement in life year by year. In addition, mountains are high, so eating cakes can take the
place of going for a climb -- by a stretch of the imagination.

Since nine is the highest odd digit, people take two of them together to signify longevity. Therefore, the ninth day of the ninth month has become a special day for people to pay their respects to the elderly and a day for the elderly to enjoy themselves. It has also been declared China's Day for
the Elderly.

Origin

The festival is based on the theory ofYinandYang, the two opposing principles in nature.Yinis feminine, negative principle, whileYangis masculine and positive. In ancient times people believed that all natural phenomena could be explained by this theory. Numbers were also related to this theory.
Even numbers belonged toYinand odd numbers toYang. The ninth day of the ninth lunar month is a day when the twoYangnumbers meet. So it is calledChong Yang.Chongmeans double in Chinese.Chong Yanghas been an important festival since ancient times.

Legend

It is hard to say when these customs were created. But there are many stories which are closely related. As recorded in a historical book of the sixth century, in ancient times, there lived a man named Huan Jing. He was learning the magic arts from Fei Changfang, who had become an immortal after
many years of practicing Taoism. One day, the two were climbing a mountain. Fei Changfang suddenly stopped and looked very upset. He told Huan Jing, On the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, disaster will come to your hometown. You must go home immediately. Remember to make a red bag for each one
of your family members and put a spray of dogwood on every one. Then you must all tie your bags to your arms, leave home quickly and climb to the top of a mountain. Most importantly, you must all drink some chrysanthemum wine. Only by doing so can your family members avoid this disaster.

On hearing this, Huan Jing rushed home and asked his family to do exactly as his teacher said. The whole family climbed a nearby mountain and did not return until the evening. When they got back home, they found all their animals dead, including chickens, sheep, dogs and even the ox. Later Huan
Jing told Fei Changfang about this. Fei said the poultry and livestock died in place of Huan Jing's family, who escaped disaster by following his instructions.

Since then, climbing a mountain, carrying a spray of dogwood and drinking chrysanthemum wine became the traditional activities of the Double Ninth Festival, to avoid evil spirits and misfortunes.

A Day for Outing

The festival is held in the golden season of autumn, at harvest-time. The bright clear weather and the joy of bringing in the harvest make for a festive happy atmosphere. The Double Ninth Festival is usually perfect for outdoor activities. Many people go hiking and climbing in the countryside,
enjoying Mother Nature's final burst of color before she puts on her dull winter cloak. Some will carry a spray of dogwood.

Therefore, it is now considered the last outing of the year before the onset of winter, for people to go climbing to get some exercise as well as enjoy the autumn scenery.

Study Chinese - Xinjiang Stone Forests

Xinjiang Stone Forests

In recent years, vast stretches of "Stone Forests" were found in Musaer and Qitai counties, in eastern Junggar Basin, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Researches conducted by scientists indicate that, "Stone Forests" are composed of silicified wood evolved from primary forest 300 million years
ago. There totaled over a thousand trunks of stone trees in the woods -- such a large amount that is rarely seen in the world. The species of trees include Pseudolarix amabilis, larch, metasequoia, spruce, gingko and birch, etc. The longest individual tree has a length of 26 meters, ranking second
in the world.

Silicified wood, also known as stone tree, is a kind of dendrolite. During Jurassic period dated 195-173 million years ago when the earth's climate was universally hot and humid, the area of today's Junggar Basin of Xinjiang was in an environment of lacustrine bogs, surrounded by primary forests
predominated by high and thick gymnospermous plants mixed with abundant fern plants. After long geological evolvement, the organic elements in the tree were completely replaced by mineralized elements, and the tree body became hard and heavy but still in its original appearance.

The district where the distribution of silicified woods is the most concentrated and views are the most spectacular is the "Stone Tree Trench" in the General Gobi in Qitai. The silicified woods here are all indigenous to this region, not transported by external forces. "Stone Trees" are spread
over the mountains, leaning over or upstanding. The bark remains vivid yellow brown with legible fiber and annual growth rings. At first glancing at the thickset trunk, branch roots inserted into the terrane, knurls on the trunks, and tilted sprigs, you cannot tell them from modern woodcutting
fields immediately. The landscape is studded with slices of silicified woods cracked by weathering, mainly in the color of gray and white, and yellow ocher sometimes. The texture of wood chip is clear. Sometimes, you can pick up integral or bifid oval silicified fruit. Bumping two slices of
silicified wood chips together, you can hear clear, crisp and euphonious clash.

A Disappearing Culture

With 3,000 years of history behind them and only 300,000 of them left in the world, China's Qiang ethnic group is a nationality with an interesting yet little-known culture.

Qiang woman tidies up quilts dug out from the ruins of her village, destroyed by the earthquake

That culture came into the light recently with the opening of a new exhibition at the Cultural Palace of Nationalities of Beijing called Qiang Culture in the Earthquake-hit Areas of Sichuan Province.

It has attracted particularly large crowds because Beichuan, the only Qiang autonomous county in China, was shaken severely by the earthquake in Sichuan on May 12.

The exhibition, which opened on June 14, presents more than 100 items related with the Qiang culture, including utensils, clothes and musical instruments. The items were collected from other counties that are also inhabited by the Qiang people but were less affected by the earthquake. There are
also around 300 photographs taken by journalists showing the customs, constructions, and living habits of the Qiang people.

Beijing Media Hub 'Best Equipped Ever'

( 2008-07-09 )

Richard Palfreyman, press chief of the 2000 Sydney Games, media advisor to the 2004 Athens Games and MPC manager of the 2006 Turin Winter Games, the Main Press Center (MPC) where accredited journalists work during the Games, is familiar territory.

Palfreyman said he believes, however, that the Beijing MPC takes the cake.

A man makes a phone call at the Olympic press center on its opening day in Beijing July 8, 2008.

"I think this is the best MPC I've seen. It's certainly the biggest and best planned," Palfreyman, who works closely with the International Olympic Committee, said. "It's probably the best-ever laid-out MPC, and I think Beijing has just cause to be proud of it."

The Beijing Olympic MPC officially opened Tuesday to accredited media. It will, together with the International Broadcast Center (IBC), provide 14-hour services and facilities, news and information until July 25, when it will begin 24-hour operations.

The 62,000 sq m MPC provides the biggest working space in Olympic history. It is located in the central Olympic area in the northern part of the capital, close to main Olympic venues - the Bird's Nest and Water Cube. It is only a 10-minute bus ride away from the Olympic Village.

Australian Palfreyman's glowing evaluation extends beyond the brand-new MPC's convenient location to its high Internet technologies and talented personnel.

As promised by Beijing Games organizers BOCOG, in view of rapid developments in net communication technology the MPC will be installed with unprecedentedly extensive services and high technologies.

The center's equipment includes - for the first time - a plug-and-play IC card on each desk for broadband Internet access; wireless Internet is also available.

Awesome,Free Entry
















It should not have taken so long, but finally it has arrived. Museums and memorial halls listed as national patriotism education bases will open for free, says a circular jointly issued by the Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, the Ministries of Finance and
Culture, and the State Administration of Cultural Heritage on January 23.

In the beginning of 2008, the news of opening more museums, memorial halls and national patriotism education bases for free caused a tremble in the public.

The policy has been welcomed by the people. The Hubei Province Museum began free admission last November, and received 250,000 visitors in the first two months, almost the same as in the whole 2006.

Going to museum has become the hottest choice for spending the week-long holidays since the recent Chinese New Year. Many parents took their children to visit to widen their field of vision.

People cast their accounts. A visitor said to the journalist that in the past the museum tickets of Memorial of Zhou Enlai and Deng Yingchao cost 65 yuan for their family visit just once. But now the charge is free, so he took 7 family members come here to see the two national giants.

However, who will pay the bill Actually the outlay for free enter museum is a problem for even a superpower –the US still debates over free museums. Usually, governments need to offer lots of financial support to museums. Only The British Museum could get more than 3 billion pounds from
government every year.

China’s central government will offer funding to museums and memorial halls to support their operating expenses amid a drive to encourage more of these venues to offer free admission, according to statement from a senior official.

hello ppl,
I've just come to china for language courses and it seems that I have to buy one electronic
dictionary! At the moment I've been using my Pocket PC PDA with some English-Chinese dictionaries
in it and some input methods software (CE-Star). However cheap this was, the dictionaries were not
satisfying and CEStar crashes all the time, so now and then I have to reboot my machine...
These two things have lead me to think that by buying a electronic dictionary will solve my
problems. However there seem to be far too many options on the market.

My needs are:
-Both Way dictionary
-Handwriting recognition
-Pin Yin display on English->Chinese and on Chinese->English
-Examples, examples and examples of chinese words usage.
Especially the last is what my PDA based dictionaries lacked...

I've seen some v650 and v680 color models (I can't remember the brand) that play mp3 and mp4 video
files and seem to be *far too fancy*.Not that the extras are not welcome, but having a good
dictionary is my first priority. I don't mind about the price either...

Any ideas or recommendations?

Thanks a lot!
Fotis

PS. Anybody knows if I can upload a "german-english" vv custom dictionary in it? That would also
come handy
PS2. English is my language of preference and my chinese are almost close to naught. However I'd
like to buy something that can accompany me in my studies for years to come...

Hey, I was wondering if there have ever been any haiku-style poems in Chinese, as opposed to
Japanese. Because I know that the haiku is an originally Japanese poetic form, but I didn't know
if it was 'legal' to write one in Chinese, but I think it would seeing as how each character can
be represented with one syllable.

I'm 26, so it shouldn't matter how old you are,
as long as you have a valid ISIC card you should be able to get the student rate.

Good luck!!

adrianlondon -

Thanks.

I found your flight/price online at C&E Travel UK, which is in Little Newport Street, Chinatown.
I'll go and see them tomorrow. I'll report back!

http://www.everwell.co.uk/eng_superairfear.htm

Not sure that Super Air Fear instills much confidence

Did you know instill can be spelt with one or two l's? You didn't care? Oh well.










Ju_de -

Great!!

Hopefully, you should get a reasonably priced fare now!!!










adrianlondon -

Well, I went to Super Air Fear and ... it's turned into a brothel! That's soho for you. The sign
on the door just said "beautiful oriental models upstairs for you". The landline, fax and mobile
number associated with the agency are dead. Hey ho.

So, as chinatown isn't exactly short of travel agents I went to another. Air China has offers for
August and then November & December. Nothing for Sept. Also, they don't believe anyone over 32 has
any learning capacity left (I might end up agreeing with them - we'll see how the course goes) as
you need an ISIC and to be under 32 to qualify for their student flights.

KLM had the best deal, but with a totally non changeable flight. And I hate making decisions.

Emirates is the best value so far : £450 inc with a £75 change fee; ticket valid for 12 months.

Thanks everyone for your input.










Ju_de -

Sorry to hear that you couldn't get the Air China fare.

It is really silly that they wouldn't sell you that fare because of your age, even though you are
going to be a full-time student.

When I bought mine, the lady at CTS never asked me my age, just asked me whether I had a ISIC
card. May be I look under the age of 32???? who knows??

Anyway, hope the trip to China works out much better!!










KingKitega -

Hi adrian,

Check out this fare:
http://www.seewootravel.co.uk/displayfare.php?fare=8328

only 6 months validity, but GBP285 (ex taxes) with KLM - and no need for ISIC!

You can search for other fares on that site too (cut out the displayfare bit in url), but that's
the best I can find.

I think 6m is enough for you given that you're only studying for one semester.

Good searching!










adrianlondon -

Thanks King Kitega,

KLM certainly works out the cheapest, but their tickets are totally non changeable when I last
checked that offer. I'll check via your link though; one never knows. I haven't decided yet
whether to come back to the UK just before Christmas to be with family, at the end of my semeter,
or a few weeks after my semester to allow for travel time.

Maybe I just need to make a decision! But I'm bad at those.

I'll keep checking and post back here once I've got the flight tickets, in case there are other
indecisive people around who are leaving it even later than me :-)

I really wish PPlive was for mac.....










roddy -

Been watching this a bit lately, quite enjoying it - usually get a few laughs per episode and
sometimes it can be very funny. Worth a shot if you're looking for a bit of nonsense, Emule links
for those of you who want them.










imron -

Yeah I bought the box set to this a while back, and am slowing making my way though it. At first I
was put off by the whole costume-drama thing, but then I realised it's a costume-sitcom :-)










roddy -

Is there much advantage in watching them in order? I picked up a 3-dvd set with (I think) 61-80 on
yesterday and watched a couple without feeling I was missing anything, but if it's important I
could hold off till I get hold of the first ones.










imron -

A couple of episodes make back references to events or circumstances that happen in prior
episodes, so although you could watch most of them out of order, there will be a few episodes
where knowing the backstory would be better.










imron -

Oh, and another thing, I think it makes it more interesting when you know the backstory and
history of all the characters.










roddy -

Hmmm, I think I'll keep an eye open for the full set, but keep going with what I've got for now.
Would be better to start from the beginning, but as far as I can see I'm not missing any epic
story arcs.

Anyway, I'm off to 替天行道！










roddy -

I'm enjoying this, will definitely be picking up the entire set if I happen across it. Some of the
stuff cracks me up, and even the duller bits are enjoyable enough to have on in the background.
For some reason my favorite gag so far is the visual one about a minute into this clip - 小贝 is
probably my favorite character.

How much have you seen Imron?










shelloren -

I'm new here, and last year i saw this series and really enjoyed it.
It's nice if u can see it from beginning, it's kind of like soap opera and most of the episodes
can be understood separately.
It's interesting the author used "古文诗句" to name every episode like a "章回小说" .
Furthermore, I really like the names of the characters in it. They're all made up from some
"武侠小说", like 白玉汤 is after 白玉堂， 佟湘玉 is after 金湘玉......
They are living in the ancient time but acting or talking like what we do nowaday, and u can hear
some different kind of accents which make it more funny.

Oh, i'm a girl, so my favorite is 老白， then 吕秀才， then 佟掌柜。 偶地神阿！

Re: The Revival of Traditional Characters is Coming?

the chinese educational system already depends too much on memorization, to the
exclusion of say.....thinking. not a good idea to add another thousand or so characters
to memorize.
