Some Japanese-based websites, i.e. hotel, will ask customers to input their names by
半角拉丁字母 (half corner Latin alphabet) on their Chinese websites after making
reservation. Does anyone know what is 半角拉丁字母?

This refers to the "byte-case" of the latin characters - full-width vs. half-width.

全角:full-width, double-byte (DBC c�
��se)
半角:half-width, single-byte (SBC case).

I imagine some sites request half-width characters since their systems aren't equipped to
manipulate strings of double-byte latin text - to do comparisons and indexing and such.

i want to post all the names of the pieces
since the characters probably aren't that common
and it will save everyone else the wear and tear
on the radical index in their dictionaries.

司令
军长
师长
旅长
团长
营长
连长
排长
工长

炸燁

I always played this game when I was a kid. The two players have their chess face down and only
when they confront with each other, then they show whose higher in rank. The weaker chess can
always hide in the barrack. Once the chess is in the barrack, the other side cannot attack it.

And of course the objective of the game is to capture the other side's command base.

In fact, there is another more complicated version called All-out war which involves navy,
airforce as well as ground force.

However, the principle is relatively simple as compared with the American wargames. Other than the
simple game of "Risk", I still have hard time to figure out other more difficult war games.

It's a common game for youngsters, I think it is limited to China because the pieces are labeled
in Chinese only. It is similar to Stratego.

Red versus Black, at first all the pieces are flipped over and placed on the 30 available spots,
throughout the game pieces are flipped over to reveal its rank and colour, chance plays a big part
in this game. The pieces as mentioned are listed below:

司令 Commander (1 piece per colour)
军长 Corps (1 piece per colour)
师长 Division (2 pieces per colour)
旅长 Brigade (2 pieces per colour)
团长 Regiment (2 pieces per colour)
营长 Battalion (2 pieces per colour)
连长 Company (3 pieces per colour)
排长 Platoon (3 pieces per colour)
工兵 Engineer (3 pieces per colour)

军旗 Flag (1 piece per colour)
地雷 Landmine (3 pieces per colour)
炸弹 Grenade (2 pieces per colour)

There are railways surrounding each side, 5 行营camps per side and 2 大本营headquarters per
side.

Here is the 5th paragraph from the text from Chapter 45, Huang and Stimpson, Written Standard
Chinese vol 4. The title of the essay is 中国妇女的解放。
女人的丈夫死了再去嫁人, 在汉朝的时候社会上是许可的。到了唐朝,
妇女仍然有再嫁的自由。唐朝一代公主再嫁的就有二十三个之多。
只是到了宋朝,
风气渐渐改变。社会上的领导人物主张妇女守节。后来明清政府不但奖励守�
��的女人, 而且女人家里的人也可以从政府里得到好处;
于是这种可怕的观念就一直深入到农村里去。
Here is my translation:
After a woman’s husband died, during the Han Dynasty, she was allowed to remarry. At the time of
the Tang Dynasty, women still had the freedom to remarry. The Tang Dynasty had over 23 princesses
who remarried. Only with the Song Dynast did customs (ethos according to adsotrans) change little
by little.
The leaders of society advocated being faithful (to a deceased husband) [守节]。 Afterwards,
the Ming government not only encouraged women who continued fidelity (to a deceased husband), but
also the woman’s family could gain benefits from the government; (thereupon)(this led to) this
frightful concept entered directly and deeply into (rural) village (customs).The book has the
definition of 守节, as "be faithful (to a deceased husband)".
I am curious how this worked. Huang and Stimson seem to use strong language calling this a
frightful custom. One view is that the govt supplied life insurance upon the death of the husband.
Is their condemnation based on the point that the widow did not actually get control of that
money, and instead the woman's family did? So the family had some kind of economic incentive to
not have the widow remarry?

And the comment about entering into rural village customs: is the point that even if it was common
among the upper classes, not until it began to pervade village customs can it be said to truely be
part of Chinese culture?

Thanks for any clarification.

I am not through with the essay, so this might (or might not) clearer when I finish it.

widow remarry?

I don't think governments from Song to Qing Dynasty could supply life insurance upon the death of
the husband. I haven’t seen any historical books even mentioned anything in this field.
Especially Song, Ming, and Qing Dynasty were suffered from 1.excessive governmental officials,
2.civil wars or foreign invasion (sometimes both), 3.corruption, 4.natural disasters. Sometimes
even those who lost their sons or husbands as solders in wars could not get any compensation, so
how could the governments offer life insurance to widows, especially those men died naturally or
those in poor area? I haven’t heard that widow or widow’s families could get money from
government in those days.



Quote:

So the family had some kind of economic incentive to not have the widow remarry?

I think the incentive for the family to not have the widow remarry was the family thought
remarrying was not the right thing for a faithful wife to do, which was also a well-known social
common sense. If their daughter dared to remarry, that meant their daughter wasn’t a faithful
woman as the society expected her to be and both the woman and her family deserved being despised
by the whole society.



Quote:

And the comment about entering into rural village customs: is the point that even if it was common

part of Chinese culture?

In my opinion, this custom was also common among the upper classes and it should be counted as a
part of Chinese culture.

Thanks!

I don't think so, as the above interpretation is fighteningly materialistic . "守节" is
considered to be a frightful practice by the authors because it condemns the widows to a lonely
life, and forces them to be "faithful" to their deceased husbands for the rest of their life
regardless of any love, feelings they may have (Just imagine the widows are still in their
twenties!!), .

I also think that the "好处" in the text refers largely to non-materialistic/ intangible
benefits.

In the old days,贞操's concept is:a women, during all her life,is only allowed to have sex with
her husband or be single and never have sex. if she remarry,have been raped or have sex with
others,she would be regarded as "失贞" .
During those days, sociaty advocated women to be faithfull. Moreover, if women didn't conform to
this,it was regarded as great shame by the sociaty. she would be punished,ranging from expelling
her from her family to killing her .the killing ways were very cruel, too.(tie the women's hands
and feet,put into a cage and throw into the river; burn her to die alive and killed her). As a
saying goes :"饿死事小,失节事大". so you can imagine the cruelty! On the contrary, if a
women conform to this, being lonely all her life after her husband die, her family will rise to
fame, and she will be respected by the sociaty.
one true example: In qin dynasty, a women in a rich family,named 康烈女, be betrothed to a
poor man. Before she truely married him, the man died. but she firmly regarded herself th be his
wife and committed suicide. The man's father was a bad guy and every one looked down upon him,
after ths ,he was greatly respected . It's not a love story. women in that days act only as a
sacrificial lamb.
Because their thoughts were poisoned , most widows volunteered to be faithfull .she herself also
regarded it as virtue.
numerous grammatical mistakes! I'm from non-english speaking country.
If you have a good command of chinese,you can get access to thishttp://zhidao.baidu.com/

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 not sure what it is, chinese or what. What other language has characters? Its a tatto I
already have. It was on a laminated 14 x 11 card with all different characters. I don't know why
someone would makeup characters for the sake of selling them but do them all wrong.

Hopefully you've just mangled it while copying it. Any chance of a photo?

I drew it myself. I figured if I gave you the simple shape of it someone would know. If its a
little off it seems if you know what it was you could read it.

It is suposed to mean "TO PLAY MUSIC"

Can I suggest great caution is used when english teaching work is advertised as an 'internship'.
An internship should be a way for someone who lacks experience to gain some in a particular field,
usually for low pay. However, in the English teaching sector there are many many unqualified,
inexperienced teachers working for full wages - so unless there's some hidden perk in there, or
they actually pay a decent salary, I'd steer clear and get an English teaching 'job' instead.










dhcp0 -

Thanks for the useful advice Roddy, completely unfamiliar territory for newbies like me =)










Ju_de -

There seems to be a few of these organisations offering these internships.

The non-teaching placements seem quite interesting, but I haven't heard much about them only from
what is mentioned on the website).

Has anyone applied for one of these or taken a placement?

I have finally learned how to speak enough mandarin to do most basic stuff, but now I am at a
dilemma.
I want to know how to say food dishes so that when I go to a Chinese Restaurant that I can order
something in Chinese. The only entrees I can say are 家常豆腐, 辣子鸡, and 糖醋鱼.
I'd like to know the names of a few (10 or so) entrees, so I can order more interesting food. I
like almost more or less every kind of food (meat, chicken, vegetables, noodles...) so please just
name some of your favorites.

Thanks.. 谢谢你们

I'd forgotten about that one! Rushes off to check if it is OK and finds three mistakes! Now
corrected! There are probably more! It was the first menu I translated and the restaurant no
longer exists. I hope that is nothing to do with the translation!

It is worth pointing out that this particular restaurant was in Guangxi and some dishes and some
names are regional. I noticed years ago, when I moved from Hunan to Guangxi that identical dishes
had completely different names. This is just one of the problems of any menu translation database.

Since doing that one, I have done several. Will try to post in the next day or two, (when I
remember where I put them!)
