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!).

Using Chinese astrology for travel guidance

  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…

How they celebrate New Year's in China

  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

    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?
  • Thanks, Michelle! Excellent suggestions. No prob with traditional Chinese characters, hey, they're the real McCoy! I was taught both traditional and simplified characters, and the simplified just don't have the beauty and feel of the originals. Unfortunately I haven't figured out yet how to do traditional characters on my computer........... but it will happen. 谢谢你!
  • Jose & all,

    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.

  • By the way, http://www.nciku.com/ has a handy online Chinese-English dictionary, permitting input by typing or handwriting (using your mouse). It's not the best dictionary I've ever seen, but it's not bad at all, and because it's online, it's very convenient.
