See, now I can understand Chinese just a little bit.
During the SEO Media and Think Tank Summit
held in Zhengzhou, Henan Province from July 23rd to 27th,
I've invited some foreign participants to practice Henan dialect.
Well, their pronunciation kind of captured the Jenny local feature.
I'm a weirdo.
I'm from Shanghai.
Zhong literally means central in Chinese.
Here in Henan, it's the ultimate all-purpose word.
A lovely yes, a satisfied perfect, and a firm deal all rolled into one.
During the SEO Media and Think Tank Summit,
participants are invited to visit various locations in Henan.
In Anyang City, the Ying Ruins
is the first documented late Shang Dynasty capital site in China.
Located near the archaeological site of the Ying Ruins,
the Ying Xun Museum is the first national major archaeological museum
to comprehensively present the Shang civilization.
So, can you take a guess based on their shape?
So, okay, this is a fish, but it looks like a rocket going up.
This can be a deer.
Exactly, you're right.
The interesting thing about Chinese characters from what I understand
is that they convey a lot of context.
There's a lot of emphasis, of course, on ancient and culture,
on the context, that if something is there,
what is the narrative, what is the story behind it?
It's not any alphabet. It's not alone.
I mean, it's very impressive the way they're preserving them
and they're using technology along with ancient artifacts
to convey Chinese culture and Chinese tradition
to the visitors who come to a beautiful country.
Yeah, I feel enriched.
To know that 3,000 years ago was Chinese civilization here,
it's unbelievable.
This is very important to cross-learning of nations' histories.
I think you need to learn the other cultures as well.
Because a long time ago in human civilization,
we all flourished together.
When you go through to the grassroot of these cultures,
we all find the same root, human root.
If you understand that, then we'll get less problems.
No wars, always peace, always one will respect the other.
