First for Xi Jinping Thought
Explain wtf is it
Cause the other center for intelligent discussion, reddit, is being really unhelpful
Why did YOU decide to learn Mandarin?
I'm learning it because of political concerns, to be honest.
Second for Xi opening a chain of steamed bun shops after retiring
Its a blanket term for his policies and agendas. The core of it is becoming a 小康社会 by 2030. Concurrently with this China will modernize its military, tackle corruption and reduce China's pollution. Xi continues the economic policy of "socialism with Chinese characteristics", and opening up to free trade and market reform to grow China's economy.
习近平思想:
一:买了很多包子
二:看起来像维尼熊
Tbh I have no fucking clue. I havent been paying attention to the conference so I havent caught much of the jargon other than the headline stuff like "Socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era". I suppose it would center on Xi's Chinese Dream and the maintenance of the party's position.
Pure autism. I'm chinaboo and too dumb to go to STEM so I'll major in Chinese language and literature.
可是我想我不够聪明懂中文。
(I tried to say that I'm not smart enough to understand the chinese language, but I can't even write a small sentence, which just shows I'm right)
Chinese people speak in code words, riddles and other gibberish. One has to find the hidden meaning. 小康 for instance could be code for 抗笑.
>using year-old stale memes promoted by the CIA and Falun Gong
Nah.
nah it's just that due to lack of rule of law there's no way of scrutinising specific policy, so you've just got to go by slogans. As if all we had to judge Trump's approach to government were the phrase 'make america great again'.
...
that's not funny. delete that pic immediately
What can I expect, boys?
Did this gringo came all the way here to my banana university to tell me Confucius worshipped YHWH or is it something else?
"全国军民同胞们:这是一个非常的时代,我们都是非常的国民,大家要知道,国家有难,万恶的共匪随时都会来包围打台湾,情势非常非常险恶,可是,我们全体军民同胞都很有钱,而且一天比一天有钱,买东西也很方便,买电视也买得起了,可是,要知道,光是有钱、荣耀主是不够的,因为有了钱大家还会乱来,上酒家啦、跳舞啦、玩女人啦,为了钱,干儿子能把干老子都毒死,这太不像话了,所以我说,全体军民同胞们大家都要知道,没有钱没关系,钱是生不来,死不带去,没钱连大洪水都不怕,还怕共匪吗?还有呢,就是报纸,报纸应该多登登文告,登登有志气的玩意儿,不能说没钱就不能登文告了,多登文告,少登坏事、坏消息,大家就不会学坏了,全国军民同胞们,解救同胞,光复大陆,让子子孙孙都能过好日子,这就对了。"
>文王在上,於昭於天... 文王陟降,在帝左右。
It's an interesting topic, sometimes it seems like 天 is an anthropomorphic creator/judge figure (inherited from the Shang 帝), other times it's just 'nature'.
The diversity of interpretations of pre-han myth/religion is a natural result of trying to talk about 1000 years of Shang+Zhou written history as if it's one thing.
>宰杀中共
If you got the balls, go and do it then! Maybe those 200 million dollar tractors you brought from the US will stand a chance against the PLA.
who wants to talk on wechat or skype
>'MY WIFE'S FURIOUS' Brit expat drunkenly gets huge tattoo of Taiwan flag and name on his FACE on boozy night out
thesun.co.uk
The offer is tempting, but I've already found a lot of weirdo strangers on wechat at this point trying to sell me shit.
So this, is the face of the Taiwan independence movement.
I'm sure Xi Dada is shaking in his boots.
On a side note, British tourists really need to stop embarrassing their own country like this.
>tell me Confucius worshipped YHWH
The Confucius of the analects seems to have had faith in some kind of value that transcends a single human life:
>子曰:「志士仁人,無求生以害仁,有殺身以成仁。」The Master said, "A man of high purpose and a man with deep humaneness would not seek to stay alive at the expense of humaneness. There are times when they would sacrifice their lives to have humaneness fulfilled." (Analects 15.9)
>子曰:「朝聞道,夕死可矣!」 The Master said, "If I should hear the Way in the morning, I would feel all right to die in the evening." (Analects 4.8)
He seems to have seen Tian/Heaven as the ultimate judge:
>久矣哉,由之行诈也!无臣而为有臣,吾谁欺?欺天乎? You have been practicing chicanery for much too long! By pretending I had retainers when I had none, whom were we trying to deceive? Heaven? (Analects 9.12)
>获罪于天,无所祷也。When you have offended Heaven, there is no spirit you can pray to. (Analects 3.13)
Someone who intervenes in human affairs:
>天之將喪斯文也,後死者,不得與於斯文也。天之未喪斯文也,匡人其如予何? If Heaven intended this culture to be destroyed, it would not have let the descendants [of King Wen] take part in it. Since Heaven has not destroyed this culture, what can the people of Kuang do to me?" (Analects 9.5)
>天下之無道也久矣,天將以夫子為木鐸。The world has been without the Way for a long time now. Heaven is about to use your master as the wooden tongue of a bronze bell." (Analects 3.24)
The source of his power/sense of destiny
>子曰:「天生德於予,桓魋其如予何!」 The Master said, "Heaven has given me this power - this virtue. What can Huan Tui do to me!" (Analects 7.23)
>On a side note, British tourists really need to stop embarrassing their own country like this.
You didn't read the article did you? He's lived in Taiwan for 10 years and his wife is Taiwanese.
"I'm pickle flag!"
He's just a tourist larping in Taiwan for the long term. And he's still a laughing stock.
I bet the tattoo will be even more embarrassing when Taiwan inevitably returns back to China.
No joke that Taiwan flag is ugly af. They might as well add the LGBT rainbow flag for full effect.
I just asked a Taiwanese friend about it. He told me that the next day, the guy was depressed and got completely shitfaced. Then he decided to get in his car...
shanghaiist.com
>Early Monday morning a sozzled British ex-pat and longtime Taiwan resident named Paul was arrested for drunk driving in the southern Taiwanese city of Kaohsiung, just two days after inking the traditional characters for Taiwan on his forehead and the country's independence flag on his chin.
Jesus fucking Christ.
JUST
Jesus Christ, how embarrassing.
Someone shop the JUSt haircut onto this dude's head. It matches perfectly.
No I don't know how to do it myself.
But Chinese do believe in after life
I have to spend one day every year in an ash filled crematorium because of that
蒋介石万岁!
汉民族至上!
If 蒋介石 was so great, how did he lose the mainland to a bunch of peasant guerrillas? Even with Yankee assistance?
What do you suppose Conf. is referring to as heaven/天? He is more talking about some kind of code. Everything Conf. says is just ching chong ding dong.
Learn how to not take things seriously my Yankee tomodachi
CCP was the hero back then when they've promised socialist democracy government (clean) while 蒋介石 was the shitty Hitler that sucked too much cocks the heir of him become pro lgbt faggots who knows nothing but licking american or japanese asshole to stay as Taiwan
Chinese people think backwards. For example in the last quote, It's not that heaven gives him strength so Huan Tui couldn't do anything about him, the reality is that Huan Tui couldn't do anything due to whatever dirty tricks he was playing, and he took that to mean that heaven was on his side.
This overall explains the concept of "mandate of heaven" - "if we cheat to win it still counts".
it means he has de facto veto say over ccp doctrine, ie the living embodiment of chinese communism for life
far trumping his predecessors hu jintao and jiang zemin, in other words chairman for life, his say overrides the other standing committee members, there will be no question to his power, ever
孔孟之訓,昭如日月。 天若不生仲尼,萬古如長夜! Praise our lord and savior!
It's not just China, charismatic leaders and their followers regularly claim to have the mandate of heaven.
The mandate of heaven 天命 in Chinese thought is less an excuse for 'cheating' and more an excuse for rebellion.
He is referring to a trancendental entity with those attributes. It's innaccurate to call Tian in the Analects a God or a person or a force or a spirit or a place: all you can do is collect the scattered references to Tian and put them together.
Just bought cheap clothes from a chink, I wonder why they come here
don't
You see here the thing, not only "Xi Jinping Thought" is incorporated into CCP guidelines, the "Deng Xiaoping thought(鄧小平理論)"; "Jiang Zemin thought"(江澤民三個代表)";" Hu Jintao thought(胡錦濤科學發展觀)" all are incorporated into CCP guidelines. So that's that.
>don't
Wonder why they come here? I will buy their shit if it's no matter what
constitution* vast different, the last 2 are not in it
don't wonder, nothing good will come of it
>if it's
Cheap
>tfw now small seal script characters
小篆 is god-tier 汉字。
Why do brazilians come to florida to buy clothes?
Because they want Amazon waifus.
>constitution
Yes, "party constitution", same as other thoughts.
You just wish he can can be 毛澤東再世,don't you?
what are you talking about it is the constitution of prc, not just some ccp handbook
nvm, if you don't see how he can trump the standing committee fine, what's the point of discussing this with you if i am already some kind of mao lover to you
how do I pick a cool chinese name
help me lads
call yourself 沙悟净
Out with the lads
Which part of constitution of PRC? Because they didn't say it, I didn't see it, yet.
This is directly from CCP website, and it only mentions "party constitution"(黨章)。

Guys, what are some words of encouragement you can say in chinese to the person who is in depression?
Something like Cheer up or don't give up?
Something to make the person to feel better?
放心吧会变成第四个代表的
所以就是還沒有嘛,別心急。

Example: "拜託你趕快去死一死!直娘賊!"
台湾响应南向政策还蛮积极的啊,快变成泰国和菲律宾的水平了
You are the same guy who suggested me something like fuck your mom the last time I asked here don't you, Tai1?
The person is chinese not japanese.
I feel it will be kind of offensive

Als je 'normale' naam een betekenis heeft, kan je de betekenis vertalen naar een Chinese term, maar het is meestal gebruikelijker om je naam fonetisch over te zetten naar karakters.
He's a German spy who betrayed Russia, Ivan
他時若遂淩雲誌,敢笑黃巢不丈夫!
works every time
Why can't you just give advice without being assholes?
Lecture is over. Guy didn't wanna shove YHWH down our asses but said that 天 rewards and punishes, created human beings, is the source of morality, etc. Breddy YHWH like if I may say so myself.
He ilustrated his points with shitloads of quotations. Pic related.
Ofc I had to ask about Analects 11.12 and he recognized that it's inconsistent with his ideas of the Master's ideas, and then proceeded to dismiss it on the basis that the anthology of quotations as a whole (the Analects) are internally inconsistent.
>他時若遂淩雲誌,敢笑黃巢不丈夫!
General rule of thumb is if Google is struggling with the meaning of the sentence - don't bother with it.
I don't know what is this strange shit about husband suppose to mean
Relax, Confucius is thy savior!
You can say these(guaranteed save):
1.人誰無過?過而能改,善莫大焉。
2.天行健,君子以自強不息!
3.天生我材必有用!
because 贱人就是矫情
加油,你要坚强,一切会好起来。
it is part of a very famous poem
丈夫 here means real man
>literal dumb blondes (for asians it's brunettes due to difficulty bleaching hair so much)
>丈夫 here means real man
I'm confused. (Can't watch video atm)
that is fu not wei wtf mang....
Yes, it can, depends on the context.
it can be like this "男子漢大丈夫".
Xi Jinping will become one of history’s great leaders.
He will be bold, brave, heroic and declare Taiwan an independent country by letting go of all claims on the territory. Furthermore he will ask Taiwan for a seat in the UN, commencing official diplomatic relations.
He will truly unite China. Not geographically, no, he will unite all Chinese people in their hearts and minds as the benevolent leader of the People’s Republic of China, neighboring the Republic of Taiwan with peaceful relations and healthy trade.
>加油,你要坚强,一切会好起来
Can you tell what does it mean exactly?
You mean this?:
>季路问事鬼神,子曰:“未能事人,焉能事鬼!” Zilu asked about how to serve the spirits of the dead and the gods. The Master said, "You can't even serve men properly, how can you serve the spirits?"
It's not really inconsistant with a belief in Tian in the background. It is consistant with the famous line
>敬鬼神而远之 Show respect to the gods and spirits while keeping them at a distance.
鬼 and 神 are not fundamental forces like 天, and even 天 is not the focus of the sayings in the Analects, it is just a background assumption.
add gas, you want strength, everything will good rise come
literally
>加油,你要坚强,一切会好起来
Come on, be strong, everything will be fine!
come on, you need to be tough, things will get better.
加油 means Do it or something like don't give up.
Ah, thank you guys
it is a cheer of sort with no direct translation but yes more of keep going than not give up
