A day within National holiday, I finally made it hiking on mountain Heng in Northern China, which took me a good five hours. The mountain looks like a massive wall, but thanks to the proper path that local authorities built, average people are allowed to arrive the peak without special outfits. There are several sights along the journey, like hundreds years old Dao temples made of wood , as well as an unexpected spring for visitors to admire. Moreover, Epigraph on some stone tablets tells stories in ancient period, which are my favorite stuff to watch. Apparently eight hundred years ago and from then on, faithful believers started to move here worshiping the deity in Heng, plus trying to avoid being involved in civil wars. Those religious people were devote and contribute themselves to a very modest lifestyle, their stories are appealing to then-kings who control the region, they lash out to construct temples, wishing their rulings were sustained by god. Unfortunately, different dynasties went rise and then fell in a row, and seeming like the deity just stand by.
I stood at the top of the mountain toward 2 P.M. among overwhelming crowds, but the views there are absolutely spectacular, everyone was taking photos. I am not good at photographing but still picking up five pictures from my phone posting here, I hope the scenery is in my memory forever.

It’s interesting that a survey tells there still are huge numbers of people believe in ghost nowadays. What is your opinion about ghost? I will show you mine first.
When I was very young, one day I had asked my mother whether ghost existed or not, and she gave me the positive answer with her couple of experiences witnessing paranormal events. At the night, I was scared to not sleeping alone, so the belief in ghost had stuck in my mind since then.
However, I have come to put away that belief with time passing and got to develop a reasonable perception of the world. We live in a scientific and modern society, and we tend to believe what we see, hear, smell and touch. China is a country filled with various stories of ghosts and spirits, especially in form of play, opera, tale, and even a particular holiday connects to the concept. On the other hand, as I noticed, paranormal stories usually happen in some rural areas where often seen as backwards, as well as a bunch of witnesses appear to be uptight in their personalities. Additionally, fascinating operas or movies in terms of ghost and spirits are mainly made to entertain the audience.
Is my answer for that negative? not really. I like the idea of a scientist, he was like “It would feel totally nonsense if you state the existence of electricity three hundred years ago, so does that your voice and photos can manager to be sent anywhere on the planet immediately. Things remain unknown to what science has not revealed yet.” Certainly, we understand very little about the universe and ourselves as yet. What if ghost and spirits were in parallel world? In my opinion, the question on the top of this writing has no correct answer, I leave it open.

Sugar is dangerous to our health, indeed. On the other hand, we are not likely to avoid sugar completely, as the fastest energy source, You will feel energized, focused, and satisfied if everything works harmoniously after it’s taken. To be honest, I am a sugar addict.
Sucrose-wise, I rarely have mouth-watering cakes or sweets, so I am not a sugar freak in this case. Refined carbs intake make the level of blood sugar soar, attributed to the almost immediate beginning process of digestion of these staff. Diabetes may come as insulin regulation system does not always work well. Nevertheless, the excessive sugar turns into fat a lot, probably causing other healthy problems such as some heart diseases, aging from the inside out, and snoring.
However, flour-made foods and rice make up a good part of my daily meals, as well as fruits like melons, mango, grapes and so on. In the end, there is no excuse to deny myself the title of sugar addict. Anyway, I am cool with that, regularly going to gym and remaining two repasts a day let me stay healthy and fit.

Hi, what do the expressions “I don’t need no money”(cheap thrills) and “I ain’t no money” mean? Do they all depend on the context? I know those are not proper, but they still can be heard occasionally.

I don’t believe in AI translation Apps, for now I think.
Hundred percent depending on that apps could make silly mistakes. I’ve seen a post from an English teacher who was learning Mandarin. The learner showed great interest in Chinese culture and talked about the differences between that and her own. She mentioned taking off shoes while entering home is a good and healthy custom, blamed her father for often walking around with muddy boots at home in the mean time. Here is what she said, “my father is vile(in Mandarin)”, but according to the context, she apparently remarked her father didn’t care that much and was a bit slovenly. The disapproving term in Mandarin covers the both of meanings above, it’s likely to be tricked of simply glancing at translation Apps or some online dictionaries.
Just now, I texted “get a grip on…” on Google Translate, it gave out an output kind of “calm down” in Chinese though.
To summarize, for correct understanding of specific content by an unknown language, I practice what it should be, rather than seeking quick help from AI.

A social media teacher made a video explaining the slang boffin with her own experience. Well, that reminds me of my young age at school.
I think when I was thirteen, I started to be considered as a boffin, my parents were all about grades and they really wanted me to do well at school, as they expected I always got excellent grade per exam. However, I realized I was subject to the term boffin, I didn’t have friends, my classmates stayed away from me intentionally, can you picture it? I used to try to approach them, played up to them, but they brushed me off most of times, they even made fun of me and talked behind my back. I just felt like I was an outsider,at first, I felt othered, and then lonely, at the end it was kind of overwhelming. Now, I still have memories I far away followed my classmates after school, hanging out alone quite a while in wild areas.
My parents might be aware of I was unhappy, but they kept telling me that good grades would take me into famous university, and then I would do well in the following life. To some extent it is true, in my country, graduation from a high-rated university means a decent job or long-figured salary.
But I disappointed them somewhat, I didn’t keep up good grades and went to an ordinary college ultimately. The experience to me is funny but bitter.

One insomnia night, a random thought haunted me, but I figured that maybe it helped to put it down. At that moment, I was thinking if you seriously learn a particular language, getting to know their culture would matter a lot. Many times during my learning era, I noticed different ways to deliver the same attempt when it came to naturally using different languages, I was always wondering why people thought and acted in certain ways, it was interesting. One thing I pretty sure is perspectives depend on different angles, which can be influenced by a specific background. Sometimes, a speech of someone from an exotic region feels a bit strange, the way they how to give point, the structure of sentences. Nevertheless, I am led with open-mind and willing to explore.
又是一个失眠的夜晚，在被random thought折磨的凌晨，记录一下。如果想深度学习一种语言，那文化绝对是绕不开的东西，因为我常常想知道为什么对方要那样想那样说，比较而言，和我使用我的母语很不一样的感觉。最终发现文化不同看问题角度也会不同。能站到别人的角度看问题，这在我以前几乎不能做到，很有趣。

Many Mandarin learners tend to take a Chinese name especially when they live in Mandarin-speaking countries or engage with native speakers fairly often. Here are some cultural things in terms of picking a Chinese name.
In Chinese culture, names usually carry good wishes for their owner. 强，斌 are a couple of most common names I have seen, 强 means “being outstanding among a group, which regarding capability”, and 斌 consist of “being educated well, plus showcasing abilities to be a general or military officer, or being physically strong that can overdo a number of people when it comes to a fight”. My name takes parts of the meaning of “original, capital(the most important),one”, which carries “stick with a dream or wish made by oneself when someone was little, and keep effort onto it until they finally get around to it”.
In contrast with other cultures, people whose native language is Mandarin are likely to have too many options when they get to choosing legal names, a bunch of parents are not able to give their newborn babies’ names on their own that they prefer to seek help from experts who are good at giving names, even though they realize that people with various available names are around them in everyday life. The simple motivation for picking a special name that other people don’t use so much is at the bottom of that case. So it’s not strange to see or hear very unusual names over here, which you perhaps need some lookup to call out the names, then again, the certain groups did rack their brains to find a fascinating one to address somebody.
Personally, I don’t like unconventional names at all. I am fond of common names or the names are not pretty “mouthful” at least, because they are easy to remember and pronounce. My name is simply made up of one syllable, I like it.

Hello friends. I have a question of the following sentence: “The nineteenth century dislike of realism is the rage of Caliban seeing his own face in a glass.
The nineteenth century dislike of romanticism is the rage of Caliban not seeing his own face in a glass.”
I don’t quite understand it, though I found some information about Caliban. So can you detail the sentence a little bit?

I’m gonna share a very popular term in our country called“三观”, the term looks short but actually is a little bit complicated because its maker put three concepts in the term. Anyway, let me break it down below.
During childhood, we probably have formed 3 mindsets or something beliefs(actually I am not sure the correct words to phrase that), I will line them up in the form of questions.
1. How you view the world and what are your opinions of things happening on other people?
2. What are the principles you value in social life? How much you can stick to?
3. What do you think your life is supposed to be and how you should live it?
Since then, you have been bearing these three questions for a while until some certain age where you eventually become “adults”, where the answers to the questions no longer change significantly.
The reason why people here mention “三观” more often is, apart from judging something popcorn silently among news pages or social media, we are also likely to make friends depending on it. Imagine you get to know someone, afterwards find out you two share so much same or similar perspectives upon things, as well as you are more and more aware of that as time passes by. How could it be if you don’t like each other?
That is all I can think of right now. If you have any questions or ideas, please let me know.
