Fuwa Beijing Olympic Mascot

Fuwa is the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games mascot. The Chinese pinyin for Fuwa is fu(2)wa(2). Fu(2) means blessing and wa(2) means dolls, so Fuwa means blessing dolls. There are five Beijing Olympic Mascots and each of them represent a Chinese fengshui elements :

• Beibei represents water
• Jingjing represents wood
• Huanhuan represents fire
• Yingying represents earth
• Nini represents metal

Together they are read Bei(3)jing(1) Huan(1)ying(2) Ni(3). It means Beijing welcomes you . This is why i like about Chinese culture, everything has its own meaning and philosophy.

My favorite fuwa is Beibei, because i like blue and Beibei represents prosperity. How about you ?

Chinese Language Lesson in Tone Graph

Chinese Language Lesson in Tone Graph

As we all know that in Chinese Language has four types of tone, so we must write the tone graph in pinyin to know which one to use.

If the pinyin has a single vowel than it is easy, just write the tone graph above the vowel sound. How about for more than a single vowel ?

You should write the tone graph above the main vowel. How to know which one is the main vowel ? main vowel is a vowel that is pronounced with the mouth widest open. For example : for jiao ( teach ), the first tone graph should be placed above the " a " vowel.

These rule apply for all vowels except if the vowels are i and u. If those vowels are used, then the tone graph should be written above the last vowel. For example : jiu ( old ), the tone graph should be written above the " u " vowel.

We do not need to memorize the tone graph place, just understand it where it should be placed.
