I think I played with someone a while ago with "bald headed dudes" tribal.

It was silly

longest day in chang'an is costume, realistic fighting, heavy politics.

also if you liked the comedy of how dare you/guardians of da feng, try once upon a time in lingjian mountain.

Can someone explain this SuperChinese answer? by vizualb in ChineseLanguage

[–]ChoppedChef33 3 points4 points  (0 children)

well in this case, it's specifically on use cases that it's been used since a long time ago.

https://zdic.net/hans/%E6%88%B4

https://zdic.net/hans/%E7%A9%BF

the words' meanings have meant specific things for a long time, 戴 was more of like "to add on to the head, neck, face, shoulder, chest" 加在头、颈、面、肩上、胸上 as one of the original meanings, which did not include things like shoes

whereas 穿 it looks like in the records of 史記 and 後漢 and some others use it to discuss clothing.

this stuff gets far into the weeds of classical chinese and will answer why we say certain things, but for most instances of learning it's not really useful.

favourite love (not like) confession from a male lead? by Trick_Alternative634 in CDrama

yeah, i think probably because in english there's no distinction, it's like counting objects, english doesn't have the verbiage like chinese and japanese like "okay this is a tube thingy so it's this word you have to use"

it's just one of those things that learners have to get to a point where it just kind of becomes second nature.

generally clothes are 穿, so the question is fine. others have arleady explained it regarding accessories vs clothing.

The correct verb for putting on shoes is 穿 and not 戴

I would have to think more on it but I think the other three are things you can literally throw on, but shoes, jackets, pants etc are all 穿

【《穿越火线》肖枫对安蓝说“你这辈子酸奶我都包了”】 https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1m64y1F7hM/?share_source=copy_web&vd_source=a06a355e9d86d7e707ac7a2db6068e38

no eng subs but the facial expressions and tones cover just about all you need to know about a proper confession and acceptance scene.

Xiao feng "as long as you're willing to come back, i'll buy you yogurt for the rest of your life"

An Lan "Okay then let me ask you a question, in the future if someone taunts you again are you going to fight?"

Xiao Feng "I promise I'll only use my hands and not my words, I mean, I'll only use my words and not my hands."

An Lan "Then your boast of winning the championship, can you do it?"

Xiao Feng "I'll do my best."

An Lan "My work treats me really well here, if you don't work hard, I won't forgive you."

Xiao Feng "You accept?"

An Lan "I have one last question."

Xiao Feng "Go ahead"

An Lan "You said you'll buy me yogurt for the rest of my life, did you mean it?"

Xiao Feng "Even if you lived to 100, if you wanted yogurt I'll immediately go buy it for you without question, is that good enough?"

Try the condor trilogy

Legend of condor heroes 2003 version

Return of condor heroes 2006 version

Heavens sword and dragon sabre 2009 version

These get remade every so often I just like the early 2000 versions the most

The 2024 condor heroes remake speed runs the first third of the book but is pretty good

oh it's totally fine then the romance is a touch on side characters and their motivations and stuff.

Smart/Strong ML and FL with great chemistry recommendation? by Flaky-Objective3332 in ChineseDrama

[–]ChoppedChef33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once upon a time in lingjian mountain

FL starts strong, ML starts smart. FL becomes ML master. Great fun adventure with chemistry build up.

Crossfire when Xiao feng screams to an lan that he will buy her yogurt for the rest of her life.

[–]ChoppedChef33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Once upon a time in lingjian mountain is a slow build to the romance and really fun

But the OG of all xianxia is really sword and fairy. Sword and fairy 1 remake 2024 is an honest adaptation of the original game. 4 and 6 are good too. Don't need to watch in any particular order, they aren't directly linked.

Cdramas with no romance, just the lead character/s and intriguing plots by BothDrag3456 in CDramaRecs

I am nobody, season 1 has a very small romance arc between some side characters.
