- "秋" means "autumn" literally. so "千秋" means "a thousand of autumns". Actually, it means "thousands of years ", "a very very long time" in literature. There are also words like "万载", "万世", which have the similar meaning. And "华夏" is China. so, "千秋华夏" means "Thousands of years old China"0 votedFebruary 13, 20090
- If you are going to meet and deal with many Chinese ppl from different places, you would probably need to read both simplified and traditional Chinese. The simplified is easier to learn with no doubts. And there are certain rules to transform characters between simplified and traditional. so, if u'v leant the simplified characters well, u can "guess" the simplified version of a traditional character, at least most of the time, by its assembly pattern, pronunciations or meanings of its main parts, or even by its shape. However "guessing" not so easy backwards cuz those simplified characters r supposed to be less "detailed" with few clues in them for u to guess. well, my point is, simplified chinese is easer for u to learn itself, and easier for u to learn the other.0 votedSeptember 8, 20080
- Well.....some southen folks may change letters like h~k, g~k, n~l, h~f, ang~an, en~eng, ing~in, zh~z, ch~c, sh~s, and sometimes they even change the tones. But dont let these bother you too much, because it's not really your fault that you cannot understand them. You can always ask, and it's not rude to ask, people to say it again or explain it in some other way.0 votedAugust 14, 20080
