>>11672 Hikarin, have you been playing Civilization VII? Do you know if there are any good mods for Civilization VI? I wonder if it's received updates I learned about the Chaoshan region of China, it had been the origin of a lot of derivatives of it's culture, as it had been home to a lot of migration overseas. It had a lot of impact on Singaporeans, along with Indonesian Chinese, who were often the majority landowners, strangely often. Quite a few people there speak a variety of Mandarin that is the closest to ancient Chinese, and they're often referred to as the Teochew people. They also have a coming of age ceremony. Interesting people. https://www.omniglot.com/chinese/ A useful page for people trying to learning languages, a lot of documentation I'd recommend the movies, „An Elephant Standing Still” and „To Live” on https://kisskh.ws/ which I found a lot of East Asian shows in Also try out https://lightnovelpub.org/ for quite a few webnovels, albeit in English, Qidian would be better for Chinese https://www.konglongmandarin.com/ Another interesting website I came across to learn Mandarin from Peppa Pig

「 衆鳥高飛盡 孤雲獨去閒 相看兩不厭 只有敬亭山 」 「 The birds have vanished down the sky. Now the last cloud drains away. We sit together, the mountain and me, until only the mountain remains. 」 A poem about the Jing-Ting mountain, related to Zazen in Buddhism, which is related to the meditation. It's interesting how Japan diverged from Chinese Buddhism with schools of esoteric Buddhism with skull rituals. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachikawa-ryu Chinese esoteric Buddhism never really flourished because of the persecution that arrived shortly after it began to be taught, and the name for it is literally related to the Tang dynasty - 唐密 It seems to be undergoing a small revival, with the designation of these temples by esoteric monks as important sites, because of their cultural influence outside China

Been a while since I visited this site hello Hikarins ! 搭子文化 is an interesting sociocultural phenomenon within China today where people make friends based on their social status in life https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dazi_culture https://www.wenlinshe.com/tw/ this is a very cool library with a lot of classics and idioms that could be useful http://www.robos.org/sections/chinese/cangjie.html this provides information on cangjie which is a useful system to type Chinese and makes use of the radicals, with keys mapped to them 「 夫禍富之 轉而相生 其變難見也 」 「 Disasters and abundance take places with one another It is difficult to make certain 」 These are two lines from the 淮南子 about the old man near the border who had lost his horse. It is a pretty famous parable, and parables, addages, or idioms in Chinese are often referred to as 成語 https://sites.google.com/site/wenzhoudialect/anthology/baidu-wenzhou-dialect this regards "Wenzhounese" a division of Wu Chinese, which is also close to Shanghainese. Wenzhounese is famous for it's uniqueness, with around eleven tones, with phrases describing it discussing it's remoteness "天不怕，地不怕，就怕温州人说温州话" "Fear not the heavens, nor the earth, but the Wenzhou man speaking Wenzhounese. It is regarded as one of the devil dialects. https://github.com/ZWolken/Great-Dictionary-of-Modern-Chinese-Dialects/blob/main/%E5%B9%BF%E5%B7%9E%E6%96%B9%E8%A8%80%E8%AF%8D%E5%85%B8.pdf this is a document regarding a 2002 compilation of the fourty two modern Chinese dialects 躺平 is a term used to mean "lie flat" and it is mostly a word used by a lot of NEETs in China, kukuku is an example of an old Chinese imageboard, although their culture is very isolated https://english.shanghai.gov.cn/en-LearnChinese/index.html a useful site from the Shanghai government I also learned about tone sandhi, where the tones change regarding the context and the previous tone that precedes a phrase, it is pretty strange and hard to figure out https://opentext.ku.edu/tingyiting/chapter/lesson22/ 邯郸学步 is a unique phrase that I relate to, it warns one to not copy another person blindly, and regards the Handan walk, which was sort of an old trend in ancient China https://www.straightdope.com/21343499/is-the-chinese-word-for-crisis-a-combination-of-danger-and-opportunity there is a lot of discussion on whether the Chinese word for disaster is a combination of danger and opportunity

>>12247 very kool resources chikarin, thank yew

>>12222 Which animu do you happen to be watching?

>>12223 catching up on my seasonals, so Frieren, Sentenced to be a Hero, Champignon Witch, and Kunon The Sorcerer Can't See or whatever that one is called. the last two are kinda mid but they're nice to pass the time lol. if you couldn't tell i like fantasy anime...

What's up? The sky dummy

Well I'm watching Ranma ½ And I've Enjoyed currently on Episode 4 though which I have finished and I'm currently seeing the outro

>>12233 I need to pick that back up. I'm on season 3 of the 90s version and I like it so far. One of the few classics I'm watching in the dub and I love the Canadian accents

>>12210 not him but that shit is cancer. uboachan and lainchan are both dominated by these types of fags, and allowing hikari3 to join them is unacceptable. probably because of our UI alone, we look inviting to them and they think they will be in good company, so we need to be extra vigilant against anyone being such a nu-degenerate so they will realize they were mistaken, or at least won't post about it if they are as such.

>>12211 true enough. i dislike the fake hugbox tumblrification of imageboards. i know Hikari is meant to be comfy but more in an old 4chan way. just anonymous fellas fucking about online with banter and memes. hence why many of the filters are old 4chan filters. i don't mind having people of different backgrounds and identities engage with the site but this isn't Tumblr or Bluesky. roody-poos Tongue My Anus.

ah sorry I wasnt thinking straight

>>12226 is it possible to repurpose the candy ass detector as a lazer shooting machine? if we can i think i found someone we could use that on

>>12231 candy ass BEEEAAAAAMMM

Syrno soon gonna block the word foid and moid with something else.

>>12201 We should be inclusive and replace them with groid (group of people)

>>12204 hmmm... a groid... a group of moids and foids.... together in harmony..... much to think about............

>>12093 lil hikarin just https://otakudolls.com/ and ur good to go.

>>12209 Is it a manufacturer or reseller/distributor? I'm asking about manufacturers.

Touhou stinks, and the captcha stinks.

Sometimes Syrno isn't a lazy fuck and that is nice of him.

>>12182 what brand of smokes does Hikari-chan smoke? i'm thinking Peace.
