china yellow river ( Huang River )

 

The Yellow River or Huang He / Hwang Ho is the second-longest river in China (after the Yangtz River) and the seventh-longest in the world at the estimated length of 5,464 kilometers (3,395 mi)  Originating in the Bayan Har Mountains in Qinghai Province in western China, it flows through nine provinces of China and empties into the Bohai Sea. The Yellow River basin has an east-west extent of 1900 km (1,180 mi) and a north-south extent of 1100 km (684 mi). Total basin area is 742,443 km² (290,520 mi²).
The Yellow River is called "the cradle of Chinese civilization", as its basin is the birthplace of the northern Chinese civilizations and was the most prosperous region in early Chinese history. But frequent devastating flooding largely due to the elevated river bed in its lower course, has also earned it the unenviable names "China's Sorrow" and "Scourge of the Sons of Han.
Early Chinese literature refers to the Yellow River simply as He the word that has come to mean simply "river" in modern language (in ancient times, however, and were used in the meaning "river"). The first appearance of the name "Yellow River" is in the Book of Han (simplified Chinese; traditional Chinese; pinyin: Hàn Shū) written in the Western Han dynasty (206 BC–AD 9). The name "Yellow River" describes the perennial ochre-yellow colour of the muddy water in the lower course of the river. The yellow color comes from loess suspended in the water. Sometimes the Yellow River is poetically called the "Muddy Flow" (simplifie Chinese; traditional Chinese; pinyin: Zhuó Liú). The Chinese idiom "when the Yellow River flows clear" is used to refer to an event that will never happen and is similar to the English expression "when pigs flyIn Qinghai, its Tibetan name is "river of the peacock" (Wylie: r Ma Chu, p maqu).



Chinese Dragon

  


Chinese Dragons are legendary creaturee in Chinese mythology and folklore, with mythic counterparts among Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Bhutanese, Western and Turkic dragons. In Chinese art, dragons are typically portrayed as long, scaled, serpentine creatures with four legs. In yin and yang terminology, a dragon is yang and complements a yin fenghuang "Chinese phoenix".
In contrast to European dragons that are considered evil, Chinese dragons traditionally symbolize potent and auspicious powers, particularly control over water, rainfall, and floods. The dragon is also a symbol of power, strength, and good luck.
In Chinese daily language, excellent and outstanding people are compared to the dragon while incapable people with no achievements are compared with other, disesteemed creatures, such as the worm. A number of Chinese proverbs and idioms feature references to the dragon, for example: "Hoping one's son will become a dragon"

My favorite song ^_^

$hining Friend

A little faith brightens a rainy day
Life is difficult; you can't go away
Don't hide yourselve in the corner
You have my place to stay

Sorrow is gonna say goodbye
Opens up you'll see the happy sunshine
Keep going on with your dream
Chasing tomorrow's sunrise
The spirit can never die

Sun will shine, my friend
Won't let you cry, my dear
Seeing you shed a tear
Make my world disappear
You'll never be alone in darkness

See my smile, my friend
We are with you, holding hands
You have got to believe, you are my destiny
We're meant to be your friends
That's what a friend should be


I like alaot of songs but this is the one which is impressed me. It reminds me abaout my friends [ Liz and Sarah - lovely friends ]. I know that they couldn't come back, when i listen to this song i remember about them and save all wonderful memories it my heart. Then, i feel like they're still here and chatting to me, talking to me, sharing their thought. I will never forget them. Especially this song makes me cry and also makes me happy to have good friends around.

Liz is GONE forever :((

I can't believe that she's gone. I miss you a lot; please tell me that you will come back. When you are not in the classes I felt missing 2 chairs 2 people. Do you know that everyday I always keep thinking about you with all memories I save in my heart and lock it carefully. But why didn't u tell me that will go? You made me very awful while you're not there.

I CAN’T BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE GONE NOW!!! That was too shock.
I remember when Harry ask some questions and you quickly answer them, you are smart and always at the first place but now you're gone so Harry or Andrew gonna take your place but I can't let anyone to change your own place.
If I could have 3 wishes I will wish:

1. Nothing was happened.
2. Nothing was happened.
3. Nothing was happened.

Do you know that David's heart is broke to a million pieces? And especially, do you know that I miss you a lot and my heart is broke too?
I can't tell how much I miss you I just can show it by crying, begging and telling myself to not cry anymore. I'll try to keep in-touch with you by online at 4:00 P.M because it's 8:00 P.M in Aus.

Soooo......
Thank you for being my best friend and glad to be your best friend.

Sorry because this is not about the lesson but hope you guys enjoy and know that Liz is the good friend.
