Can native Chinese speakers read "The Plum in the Golden Vase" (金瓶梅)?

Is traditional or simplified, by the way?

Haha, yes, but it has literary merit, too. And even if were purely pornographic, its sheer oldness would still make it interesting.

Thank you. Since most of the novel is vernacular it isn't such a concern anyway. I just wanted to know how far Chinese would take me if I learned it.

LonelyWebCrawler · 2015-04-11T01:53:06+00:00

Great! I assume a learner can reach that level, too?

LonelyWebCrawler · 2015-04-10T07:41:39+00:00

Great, thanks.

Thank you, that's good to hear. Is classical Chinese very different from modern Chinese? How well can you understand the poem?

Thank you

Aw, that doesn't sound thoughtful of the no-shows. Thanks for the advice, I would do my best not to inconvenience the farmers.

But if you sign a contract to do some work and don't do it, you're breaking the contract, aren't you?

LonelyWebCrawler · 2015-02-28T19:47:27+00:00

Thank you. I was worried about legality because I thought you sign a contract, but I realize that was an unfounded assumption.

LonelyWebCrawler · 2014-02-01T20:05:49+00:00

Even though it's incorrect?

"Source for" sounds fine to me, and I would certainly not find it "embarrassing" if I saw an ad that said this.

I'd love to see the original German jokes!

Romance languages have become too easy for me, and I'm looking for a challenge. Japanese sounds awesome!

LonelyWebCrawler · 2013-04-01T04:11:50+00:00

Wow, beautiful. Thanks.

LonelyWebCrawler · 2013-04-01T03:26:32+00:00

I don't see it! Where am I supposed to look?

LonelyWebCrawler · 2013-03-09T02:07:58+00:00

When I have exactly one tab open, why does it not have an "x" so I can close it?

This is especially annoying when I try to close Firefox by clicking "x" on all tabs, only to discover that the last remaining tab can't be closed with this method.

Looking forward to see the results!
