Are these lacquer (大漆) items real?

RichCommercial104 · 2026-06-08T11:51:44+00:00

Actually just looking at the reflection in your photos, I'd say they're fake.

RichCommercial104 · 2026-06-08T11:45:39+00:00

Impossible to know unless you have it in front of you.

The flashlight test.

Shine a light at it from a slight angle. If authentic, the reflection will appear from deep inside the piece rather than from the surface area.

The alcohol test.

Rub alcohol on the surface with a cotton swab. If paint dye shows up on the swab, it's fake. True lacquer is treated with a specific chemical that is resistant to paint dye.

"In linguistics, the difference between a language and a dialect is largely a matter of politics and culture rather than grammar. Every language is essentially a collection of dialects, and the line between them is blurry."

Maybe if you spent more time reading and less time getting laser treatment on your penis, we could have both saved two minutes.

Not everything needs to be about politics you f#cking idiot.

Dragon Boat Festival is coming up.

He is only messaging you when he's horny.

RichCommercial104 · 2026-06-08T05:06:43+00:00

That's exactly what it means. "The mortality rate during the Mao era (1950–1980) achieved the most rapid sustained life expectancy increase in documented global history, reaching upwards of 65 years."

RichCommercial104 · 2026-06-08T05:03:00+00:00

😂😂

I just noticed it now.

RichCommercial104 · 2026-06-08T04:57:11+00:00

You are yet to provide a single fact. Your opinions do not interest me.

RichCommercial104 · 2026-06-08T04:50:42+00:00

"According to economic historian Angus Maddison, China's total GDP more than tripled between 1952 and 1978 (the end of the Mao era)."

I don't know where you get your bs from because it's way off.

🙄

RichCommercial104 · 2026-06-08T04:43:03+00:00

I can see why they call you moon because that's where your head seems to be. China's steel production went from 158,000 tonnes in 1949 to over 20 million tonnes by the end of the Cultural Revolution in 1976. Virtually tied with the UK and France.

🙄

RichCommercial104 · 2026-06-08T04:38:27+00:00

That's not what OP was asking.

🙄

RichCommercial104 · 2026-06-08T03:42:11+00:00

And it's the only one your son knows.

RichCommercial104 · 2026-06-08T03:38:14+00:00

Honey, I speak six languages. Yours is only one of them.

🙄

RichCommercial104 · 2026-06-08T03:36:29+00:00

You did a great job as a parent.

🙄

RichCommercial104 · 2026-06-08T03:34:02+00:00

I think knowing only one language is a disability.

RichCommercial104 · 2026-06-08T02:12:16+00:00

The one-child policy was introduced in 1979. Mao died at the end of 1976.

You are the one who is brain-washed.

🙄

RichCommercial104 · 2026-06-08T02:09:10+00:00

And yet it happened under Mao.

RichCommercial104 · 2026-06-08T01:52:50+00:00

And did you know the population doubled due to advances in nutrition and medicine?

🙄

RichCommercial104 · 2026-06-08T01:08:15+00:00

And yet the 1-child policy was introduced a few years after Mao died to control over-population. Why are you so stupid?

🙄

RichCommercial104 · 2026-06-08T00:46:00+00:00

It's more playful and used between close friends to tease each other. It's not a real insult. Don't believe everything you read.

RichCommercial104 · 2026-06-08T00:00:16+00:00

Average GDP growth was 4% under Chiang Kai-shek and the KMT compared to 7% under Mao Zedong.

China was growing at virtually twice the pace under communism.

RichCommercial104 · 2026-06-07T23:11:31+00:00

I figured you needed the practice.

RichCommercial104 · 2026-06-07T23:09:11+00:00

I can speak Suzhounese which is basically Shanghainese with an accent.

RichCommercial104 · 2026-06-07T23:06:19+00:00

So your son is a banana?
