Best Chinese Names

Best Chinese Names


Unlike names in many other languages, Chinese names are made up of individual characters put together.Each Chinese character has a meaning of its own; therefore, to select a good Chinese name for a newborn baby is more difficult than choosing one from a stock of names like Robert, James, June or Mary. The author of this book aims at helping English-speakers select good Chinese names for their children and themselves by providing them with various methods of naming. Contents: What is A Good Name, Methods of Naming, A Guide to Male Names, A Guide to Female Names, Chinese Equivalents of English Names, Reference Index.

Always Bright: Paintings by American Chinese Artists 1970-1999

Always Bright: Paintings by American Chinese Artists 1970-1999


A collection of paintings by eighty acclaimed American-Chinese artists in the late 20th century, the book is the first of its kind in English publication. The album falls into three categories (oil painting, Chinese painting and other media painting) and offers a profile of the artists and information on their professional accomplishment. Artists included come from Mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong, among whom are such highly acknowledged names as Chen Yifei, Ting Shao Kuang, Jin Gao, Liao Shiou-Ping and Chen Danqing whose works have enjoyed international fame and recognition. Artists whose works are included in the album come from different backgrounds, use different media and belong to different schools. Some of them are veterans of the fascinating world of artistic creation who enjoy national and international fame while others are enterprising young men and women who are more impressionable to novelty and singularity. With their innate Chinese temperament, their life's experience, original thinking, and unique expression, each of them paints 'man' in a style that is clearly his or her own. All of their paintings combined reflect a facet of the splendid Chinese culture of five thou-sand years. Answering calls from the hearts' yearning, these paintings reveal a natural beauty of flow, just like days passing by. They move in such a way that resembles the impulsive unfolding of yesterday, today and tomorrow. Tide rises and falls, but each movement has a different rhythm each day. So do the paintings of our artists, each of which bears the artist's unmistakable imprint and all of which deserve our awesome appreciation.

Seeking Modernity in China's Name: Chinese Students in the United States, 1900-1927

Seeking Modernity in China's Name: Chinese Students in the United States, 1900-1927


The students who came to the United States in the early twentieth century to become modern Chinese by studying at American universities played pivotal roles in Chinese intellectual, economic, and diplomatic life upon their return to China. These former students exemplified key aspects of Chinese “modernity,” introducing new social customs, new kinds of interpersonal relationships, new ways of associating in groups, and a new way of life in general. Although there have been books about a few especially well-known persons among them, this is the first book in either English or Chinese to study the group as a whole.The collapse of the traditional examination system and the need to earn a living outside the bureaucracy meant that although this was not the first generation of Chinese to break with traditional ways of thinking, these students were the first generation of Chinese to live differently. Based on student publications, memoirs, and other writings found in this country and in China, the author describes their multifaceted experience of life in a foreign, modern environment, involving student associations, professional activities, racial discrimination, new forms of recreation and cultural expression, and, in the case of women students, the unique challenges they faced as females in two changing societies.

Kosher Chinese: Living, Teaching, And Eating With Ch...

Kosher Chinese: Living, Teaching, And Eating With Ch...


An irreverent tale of an American Jew serving in the Peace Corps in rural China, which reveals the absurdities, joys, and pathos of a traditional society in fluxIn September of 2005, the Peace Corps sent Michael Levy to teach English in the heart of China's heartland. His hosts in the city of Guiyang found additional uses for him: resident expert on Judaism, romantic adviser, and provincial basketball star, to name a few. His account of overcoming vast cultural differences to befriend his students and fellow teachers is by turns poignant and laugh-out-loud funny.While reveling in the peculiarities of life in China's interior, the author also discovered that the "other billion" (people living far from the coastal cities covered by the American media) have a complex relationship with both their own traditions and the rapid changes of modernization. Lagging behind in China's economic boom, they experience the darker side of "capitalism with Chinese characteristics," daily facing the schiz

A Concise Chinese-English Dictionary for Lovers: A Novel

A Concise Chinese-English Dictionary for Lovers: A Novel


A Concise Chinese-English Dictionary for Lovers heralds the American debut of a remarkably gifted young writer. Twenty-three-year-old Zhuang, the daughter of shoe factory owners in rural China, has come to London to study English. She calls herself Z because English people can’t pronounce her name, but she’s no better at their language. Set loose to find her way through a confusion of cultural gaffes and grammatical mishaps, she winds up lodging with a Chinese family and thinks she might as well not have left home. But then she meets an English man who changes everything. From the moment he smiles at her, she enters a new world of sex, freedom, and self-discovery. But she also realizes that, in the West, “love” does not always mean the same as in China, and that you can learn all the words in the English language and still not understand your lover.Drawing on her diaries from when she first arrived in the UK, Xiaolu Guo winningly writes the story in steadily improving English grammar and vocabulary. Freshly humorous, sexy, and poignant, A Concise Chinese-English Dictionary for Lovers is an utterly original novel about language, identity, and the cultural divide.

Synopsis of Prescriptions of the Golden Chamber (Jin Gui Yao Lue) / Library of Chinese Classics (Chinese - English) First Edition 2007 (English and Chinese Edition)

Synopsis of Prescriptions of the Golden Chamber (Jin Gui Yao Lue) / Library of Chinese Classics (Chinese - English) First Edition 2007 (English and Chinese Edition)


Synopsis of Prescriptions of the Golden Chamber (Jin Gui Yao Lue) and Treatise on Febile Diseases Caused by Cold (Shang Han Lun) are the two most important classics of traditional Chinese medicine, written early in the third century by Zhang Zhongjing, the great sage of traditional Chinese medicine. The importance of these two books in traditional Chinese medicine is similar to that of Newtonian theory in the world of physics and Euclid's Elements in the field of geometry. These two books are still used by students as textbooks in all colleges of traditional Chinese medicine, as well as being used by medical practitioners and scholars in the field as reference books. The above-mentioned books were originally known as one book called Treatise on Febile Diseases Caused by Cold and Miscellaneous Diseases (Shang Han Za Bing Lun). It got scattered and lost in the years that followed, but collected and compiled by medical practitioners and scholars of later generations. The part of the book dealing with diseases caused by cold was named Treatise on Febile Diseases Caused by Cold and the part on miscellaneous diseases of internal medicine re-named Synopsis of Prescriptions of the Golden Chamber. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CONTENTS Chapter I On Pulse, Symptom Complex and Transmission of Diseases of the Viscera, Bowels, Channels and Collaterals .......... 1 Chapter II On Pulse, Symptom Complex and Treatment of Jing, Humidity and Ye Diseases .......... 13 Chapter III On Pulse, Symptom Complex and Treatment of Bulbus Lilii Syndrome, Huhuo Syndrome and Yinyangdu Syndrome .......... 32 Chapter IV On Pulse, Symptom Complex and Treatment of Malaria .......... 46 Chapter V On Pulse, Symptom Complex and Treatment of Apoplexy and Acute Arthritis .......... 54 Chapter VI On Pulse, Symptom Complex and Treatment of Arthralgia Due to Stagnation of Blood and Consumptive Diseases .......... 70 Chapter VII On Pulse, Symptom Complex and Treatment of Pulmonary Asthenia, Pulmonary Abscess, Cough and Inspiratory Dyspnea.......... 70 Chapter VIII On Pulse, Symptom Complex and Treatment of Bentun Syndrome.......... 103 Chapter IX On Pulse, Symptom Complex and Treatment of Chest Obstruction, Heart Pain and Shortness of Breath .......... 107 Chapter X On Pulse, Symptom Complex and Treatment of Abdominal Distention, Abdominal Pain Caused by Cold and Indigestion.......... 117 Chapter XI On Pulse, Symptom Complex and Treatment of Accumulation of Pathogenic Wind and Cold in the Five Viscera.......... 137 Chapter XII On Pulse, Symptom Complex and Treatment of Taiyin and Coughing .......... 147 Chapter XIII On Pulse, Symptom Complex and Treatment of Xiaoke (Diabetes), Dysuria and Urinary Disturbance .......... 174 Chapter XIV On Pulse, Symptom Complex and Treatment of Edema.......... 183 Chapter XV On Pulse, Symptom Complex and Treatment of Jaundice.......... 208 Chapter XVI On Pulse, Symptom Complex and Treatment of Convulsions and Palpitation, Hematemesis, Epistaxis, Hematochezia, Chest Fullness and Blood Stasis.......... 221 Chapter XVII On Pulse, Symptom Complex and Treatment of Nausea and Vomiting, Retching and Diarrhea.......... 230 Chapter XVIII On Pulse, Symptom Complex and Treatment of Ulcerous Diseases of Skin, Acute Appendicitis and Jinyin (Acute Eczema) .......... 230 Chapter XIX On Pulse, Symptom Complex and Treatment of Diseases on Extremities, Hernia and Ascariasis .......... 267 Chapter XX On Pulse, Symptom Complex and Treatment of Gynopathy During Pregnancy.......... 273 Chapter XXI On Pulse, Symptom Complex and Treatment of Postpartum Diseases.......... 284 Chapter XXII On Pulse, Symptom Complex and Treatment of Miscellaneous Gynecological Diseases .......... 295

Tea That Burns - Bruce Edward Hall|hall, Bruce Edwa

Tea That Burns - Bruce Edward Hall|hall, Bruce Edwa


Bruce Edward Hall may have an English name and a Connecticut upbringing, but for him a trip to Chinatown, New York, is a visit to the ghosts of his Chinese Ancestors -- Ancestors who helped create the neighborhood that is really as much a transplanted Cantonese village as it is a part of a great American city. Among these Ancestors are missionaries and reprobates, businessmen and scholars. There is the patriarch with three wives (two in China, one in New York), who arrived in Chinatown just as it was beginning to take shape, and who eventually became a key player in the infamous Tong Wars that ravaged the neighborhood at the turn of the century. There is the grandfather, whose nickname, Hock Shop, bespoke his reputation as Chinatown's favorite bookie. There is the dashing aviator whose dogfight in the skies over Brooklyn made him Chinatown's first hero in the way against Japan, and the matriarch who was purchased as a bride for $1,200 when the ratio of Chinese men to women was two hundred to one.
