_p explains chinese :: Lesson 1 :: wine

Wednesday, February 11th, 2009

Now I finally got a multiple entry visa for china … YEAH!!! So now i have something I can do on the weekends…. however the short trip to shenzen in china last weekend reminded me of something so called culture…. and I thought I should promote more chinese culture in my plock.

So from now on, I will introduce some chinese characters from time to time. And I will explain from what kind of pictures the nowadays character has derived originally…..

Well, the true explanations are often very complicated and confusing, so I decided to find my own explanations. I’m sure everybody was just waiting for me to do this …. so the first lesson is showing the very important character for “wine” … basically this character can be used for most alcoholic beverages, which makes it even easier and more usefull:
