In China everyone has his/her own family name or surname. There were 521 family names in China according to a traditional pamphlet entitled 100-Family Names published in the Song Dynasty (960-1279). 462 family names were of one-syllable Chinese square-character, and 59 of them, the two-syllable ones. How to begin with the Chinese family name? It is an interesting try for us to trace back to the origin of our family name for we could review a series of wonderful stories during our 5000-year long 相似文献

LIKE other foreigners in China, Aly Rose has a Chinese name, Luo Hongmei. In fact, the students and teachers of the dance academy, as well as society at large, only know her by this name. While other foreigners may for the sake of convenience create a Chinese name, her name is her identity here. Hence, she may be upset if people, after being told more than once, continue to write the characters of her name incorrectly. "Hong as in red, Mei as in rose. As if I was born in the countryside,… 相似文献

There are some accusations stigmatizing China made by the international media recently.Coming from a sense of superiority,adopted by some American politicians and media agencies since the outbreak of the pandemic to demonize and stigmatize China,they are now describing Westerners as victims of discrimination in China.Those reports even said that Africa ns,who historically have a deep f「ien dship with the Chinese,have been subjected to acts of'Yacism,*in China.The fact is that some of China's supermarkets,gyms,bars,hotels and other public places do not allow people to enter in groups,neither Chinese nor foreigners,as a measure of pandemic prevention and control.Also,a quarantine period is in place for people entering the country,including Chinese and foreigners. 相似文献

IN a moment of revealing insight, Henry Ford is said to have remarked, "If I’d asked my customers what they wanted, they’d have said a faster horse." This quote goes some way in explaining the relationship between originality and industry, and apparently had a big influ- ence on former Apple CEO Steve Jobs. When it comes to China’s originality trailblazers, Bai Minghui and Zhao Yu are two names that definitely spring to mind. 相似文献

Editor's note:The Chinese nationality is a generous nationality, due to her culture and history. From ancient times to modern times, many foreigners with different complexions, languages, and religions have come to China, where they were never treated with discrimination or persecution.

Chinese officials are displaying a far more human public persona these days than their traditionally severe demeanor, a change welcomed by the people. Formerly stem and rigid, they are now animated and unafraid to express enthusiasm in public. Chinese civil servants no longer blend into a solid gray wall of officialdom, one indistinguishable from the other by virtue of the dry-as-dust officialese they speak. In the interests of promoting their work and achievements, officials are now happy to stand out as individuals. 相似文献

There are too many tea varieties, factories, and styles of packaging and too few registered trademarks and known domestic and international brands. No brand name means no market, let alone reputation or consumer loyalty. Beneath the superficially prosperous Chinese tea industry there lurks a nagging insecurity over its dearth of brand names. 相似文献
