      <description><![CDATA[The Han Dynasty 4

           ——Liu Bang(1)

Created By Judy Feng Liu

 

256BC was a lucky year for King Zhaowang of Qin.

That year, the canal bank-Jian Beng was completed at Shu county of Qin (Nowadays, we call this canal bank ‘Du Jiangyan’)

During that year, King Zhaowang of Qin finally wiped out the nominal ruler, of the West Zhou Dynasty, through his unremitting effort.

Also, that year, he got eight bronze tripods which symbolized state power (originally there were nine, but one fell into the river during transportation.) These eight bronze tripods, each weighing around five hundred kilos, were priceless treasures which his ancestors and other kingdoms had dreamt about having for a long time but without success.

If things continued as they were, it would be just a matter of time for Qin to unite the whole country.

However, King Zhaowang of the Qin didn’t know that at the time of his national power upgrading, a man was born at Pei County who would put an end to the Qin dynasty in the future.

According to the ancient tradition in China (the tradition of recording in the historical books), all the emperors of China, they would be different from the rest. They would be characterized once they were born. So, this enemy of Qin was out of the ordinary in our historical books.

      <title>Chicken feet and fish head, delicious or disgusting?</title>

      <description><![CDATA[Why do foreigners throw away the foods that Chinese love?  In Canton where I am living now, we have two popular dishes : Chicken feet and fish head, to be honest once we see these dishes on the table we get excited!

However, foreigners  always look at these dishes with a look of horror , “oh hell,  am I supposed to put that into my mouth? ” I can also see them thinking : ‘where is the rest of Chicken? The chicken feet are the bits that we throw away!’  It must be very confusing for foreigners the first time when they have this experience. ‘Why do Chinese love it?  There is no meat in it!
 
Foreigners often get the answer from Chinese: ‘We love to chew the bones of chicken feet or fish head!’  Chewing bones is a way to enjoy the food , a kind of hobby.

In fact, a Chinese menu is almost the same like a western menu: Starter, main dish and desert. Chicken feet is a starter, fish head is a main dish.  Let’s begin with the starter.
 

Chicken feet normally need to be boiled for hours in order to get them soft , so they have a perfect juicy consistence to meet the chewing hobby. That is why we love it! You can see the satisfaction in people’s  faces. Unfortunately I can only see a painful face from my foreigner friend when she tried to eat by chewing the chicken feet. Besides, the skin of chicken feet is full of collagen which is considered as good for a woman’s complexion , same as pig feet. So it is simple for us to eat the good and healthy food instead of wasting  money on the chemical skin protection. 

Once I told the same story about chicken feet to a foreigner and asked what the most delicious part of chicken was for him, he answered “chicken breast” ,Why ? “ because it’s good as women’s chest” he said.  My god, I couldn’t believe it! That is the last piece on the table for Chinese, because nobody likes to eat it, it has no bones, and it’s dry.  In my family, we used to give the chicken breast to grandparents, as they don’t have good teeth and normally just swallow food, so chicken breast is safety for them not to choke.

      <description><![CDATA[The Han Dynasty 3

 

Created By Judy Feng Liu

 

All right! Let’s stop talking about the introduction of the Han Dynasty, and take a good look at the detail of that dynasty, which had a huge impact on the Han Dynasty.
There is a lot of historical data about the Han Dynasty, which included numerous people and things, due to the fact that it ruled China for over four hundred years. So, I would not be able to write down all of them in just one book.

I will sketch out the major events and the people of that time in a way which enable all of you to read and understand it easily.

In this book, I will write down what every emperor of the Han Dynasty did and I will let you know what had happened during that time.

As China describes periods in history according to which emperor was ruling before the reign of Emperor Hanwu. After Hanwu's reign they began to describe periods in history by the emperor's title.So, my dear reader, you will read about these two different historical kinds of time systems in this book. But, do not worry about the time, I will note the time and let you know when it would have been in Gregorian calendar.Well, I will begin by introducing Liu Bang, the first emperor of the Han Dynasty in the next chapter]]></description>

I'm a Chinese boy, in fact almost Chinese boys are very shy in their lives, but once online, they may become too different. 
Most Chinese boys are not good at dealing with girls, The more the girl they like, the more they perform reticent, but they talk lively and jovially with girls whom they don't very like, such as some of their average female friends.
However, once you break up with each other, you can't even be friends.]]></description>
