Learn Chinese in Chinese stories|Chinese Idiom |Li Bing Constructed Dujiangyan
"Tian Fu zhi Guo" means ‘ The land of abundance’, which refers to the Chengdu Plain in Sichuan Province, where giant pandas live. In the early years ,the flood and drought disasters in the Chengdu Plain were frequent, and its prosperity benefited from a hydraulician named Li Bing, who construced Dujiangyan two thousand years ago . Dujiangyan eliminated the floods,irrigated the Chengdu Plain and made it become the land of abundance .
‘天府之国’的意思是富庶之地,它是指四川省成都平原,这里也是大熊猫的故乡。最初的成都平原水旱灾害频繁,它的繁荣得益于一个叫李冰的水利专家,他在两千年前修建的都江堰解除了水灾,灌溉了农田,奠定了‘天府之国’的地理基础。

If Koei ever did a proper Jin dynasty DW game, what kind of roster would you like to see for it?
I have played maybe 15 minutes of DW (Musou games just aren’t my thing) so I’m not quite sure what kind of characters would be natural to include, but if we assume the game covers roughly the first 60 years of the Jin dynasty from the mid 260s to the mid 320s (and leaving out late Wu which I know little about), then some interesting people to consider would be, in roughly chronological order:
Emperor Wu, Wang Xiang, Zheng Chong, He Zeng, Shi Bao, Sima Fu, Yang Hu, Du Yu, Xun Xu, Hu Lie,Tufa Shujineng, Jia Chong, Wang Hun, Wang Jun, Shan Tao,
Empress Jia, Yang Jun, Sima Liang, Wei Guan,Sima Chu, Pei Wei, Zhang Hua, Sima Yu, Wang Rong, Lu Ji, Jia Mi, Zhou Chu, Sima Lun, Sun Xiu, Sima Rong, Qi Wannian, He Shao
Sima Jiong, Sima Ai, Sima Yong, Sima Ying, Sima Yue, Lu Zhi, Wang Rong, Zhang Fang,Qian Xiu, Li Han, Liu Qiao, Gou Xi, Hua Yi, Liu Hong, Zhou Fu
Emperor Huai, Liu Kun, Wang Jun [Pengzu], Zu Ti, Liu Yuan, Liu Cong, Wang Mi, Liu Yao, Shi Le, Shi Hu, Li Te, Li Xiang
Zhang Chang, Du Tao, Du Zeng, Wen Jiao, Zhang Guang, Zhou Fang, Wang Dao, Toa Kan, Gu Rong, Liu Wei, Dai Yuan, Diao Xie, Zhou Yi, Gan Zhuo, Wang Dun,
and lots of others. You’d have to pick and chose based on what kind of stories you’d want to tell. One issue I guess you’d have from a storytelling perspective is that there’s not really any “main cast”

Learn Chinese and Chinese Culture in stories|Chinese legends s|Hou Yi Shot the Suns
|Hòu Yì Shè Rì
This summer came earlier than previous years,Guangzhou is already very hot in May .Scientists said the global climate is warming. If we look back at human history,there were also very hot period in ancient times . In Chinese legends ,it appeared ten Sun in the sky and people suffered in fire .The technology wasn’t developed at that time , so people send a marksman to shoot the extra nines Suns. That is the story of ‘Hou Yi shot Suns’ .
Today, the Korean people in northeast China are very good at archery who seem have inherited Hou Yi.
Through the legend of "Hou Yi shot the Suns ", let ‘s study some Chinese words related with the Sun , such as ‘RI 日’,‘Shan山’,’ Hai海’,zhao yao‘照耀’,’wen nuan 温暖.....
今年的夏天来的比往年要早,五月份的广州已经很热了.科学家说,全球气候正在变暖。如果回望人类历史,古代也有非常炎热的时候. 在中国神话中,当时的天空出现了十个太阳,人们生活在火难中。古代科技不发达,当时的人们就派一个神箭手把另外九个太阳都射下来了,这就是‘后羿射日’的故事。今天中国东北地区的朝鲜族善于射箭,似乎也是传承了后羿这个本领。
接下来,通过‘后羿射日’这个神话我们来学习几个和太阳相关的中文:‘RI 日’,‘Shan山’,’ Hai海’,zhao yao‘照耀’.....
