你会说中文吗?
The language and ancient culture of China includes not just the world's most enormous country but spreads across various countries of Asia - and increasingly, well beyond. Here we explore all aspects of that culture.
Here, too, is your spot for asking questions, finding resources, and/or just hanging out & chatting in Chinese (mostly Mandarin, but Cantonese and others welcome, too!).

Hung Chung Chih When I first witnessed a performance of Peking opera (the best-known form of Chinese opera, with Peking by the way being the traditional English spelling of Beijing) years ago in Beijing’s ornate, early-19th-century Huguang Guild Hall, I admit I was mesmerized by the gestalt of this elaborate art form. Unlike Western opera, it’s even more stylized, with exaggerated gestures, vocalisations, and heavily symbolic costume and makeup (and in some cases obviously extremely fakey…
Read more…RootOfAllLight Lunar New Year 2024 has just ended, landing us in the year of the Dragon, and it got me to thinking: there´s quite a bit out there on where/how to travel according to Western star signs, aligning destinations with your astrological characteristics, but you don´t hear much of anything on the subject when it comes to Chinese astrology. As someone who´s studied Chinese and Sinic culture, I looked into it a bit, and here´s what I came up with, with a couple of destination…

Read more…You might wonder why this is even a question. But in fact, the Chinese-speaking world has its own big Lunar New Year celebration (in 2021, it's 12 February), and so while much of the rest of the planet makes a big deal out of New Year's Eve tonight, for many of the nearly 1½ billion inhabitants of this vast country, it simply isn't all that much of a thing. There are of course exceptions, and that's what I'm here to talk about. read post

心牆 (Xin Qiang/Hsin Ch’iang-“Heart Wall”)
一個人眺望碧海和藍天
Alone, looking at the emerald sea and the blue sky,
在心理面 那抹灰就淡一些
The greyness in my heart becomes a little lighter.
海豚在眼前飛越
Dolphins fly by before my eyes,
我看見了最陽光的笑臉
And I see the sunniest of smiles.
好時光都該被寶貝
The good times should be treasured,
因為有限
Because they’re limited.
我學著不去擔心得太遠
I’m learning not to think too far ahead,
不計畫太多反而
Not to plan too much, but rather
能勇敢冒險
To be brave and take risks,
豐富地過每一天
To live each day fully,
快樂地看每一天
And view each day with happiness.
Wooh~
第一次遇見陰天
The first time I saw clouds
遮住你側臉
Darken your profile.
有甚麼故事好想了解
I really wanted to know the story behind it.
我感覺我懂你的特別
I sense that I understand your specialness.
你的心有一道牆
There’s a wall around your heart,
但我發現一扇窗
But I’ve found a window
偶爾透出一絲暖暖的微光
Through which a thin ray of warm light occasionally escapes.
就算你有一道牆
Even if you have a wall,
我的愛會攀上窗台盛放
My love will climb onto the window sill and blossom.
打開窗你會看到
When you open the window you’ll see
悲傷融化
Sadness melt away.

I'd like to share the most requested song in "KTV" in Taiwan right now, it's called 心牆 by a female artist named 郭靜, let me know what you think :)
Hope this helps - Can't type, but at least, you can transfer from one another.
Where did you learn Chinese? Have you ever been to China or Taiwan?
I was born and grown up in Taiwan. A journalism major, and a reporter for 5 years before moving to the US.
I only type traditional Chinese though (although I can get it converted). While I can't call myself an expert, my Chinese is definitely much better than my English! I'll be happy to help if anyone has any questions! Cheers!
And Jose, maybe we should add a section for useful phrases.
Feel free to add this, if it helps your members.
