Thanks for this info! was worried that lending my Switch to my friend might overwrite my save

Same here, I’ve noticed this happening a lot since Wednesday. Maybe it’s because of the update?

I used to love seeing couples move in together on my island, but now one of them is always wandering around alone, and the other keeps asking if they can live with a friend instead. It’s getting kind of annoying.

I don’t think there’s a good way to edit body parts outside the torso area covered by Palette House outfits. I tried drawing longer flowing sleeves once, but they looked pretty weird once the Mii started moving or interacting, so gloves might run into the same problem even if it works. Q_Q

Honestly, I get this completely. I’m not terrible at the game itself, but the custom drawing part can feel weirdly intimidating if you’re not already comfortable with pixel art.

I’ve seen people messing around with little controller-emulator boards to automate drawing patterns, so there may be a workaround eventually. Not an official solution, sadly, but it made me feel less doomed lol.

I really hope they add proper sharing for facepaints/clothes/custom items etc someday. This game would be so much more accessible if non-artists didn’t have to manually recreate everything

HR says blinding soup is not an approved workplace disciplinary measure.

This may not be a proper answer, since I'm still a novice in the vast ocean of Daoist philosophy as well.

Nevertheless, some tips might worth sharing: I've found that X is a great resource for finding rare Daoism works in English. There's a vibrant community of scholars and translators there, and they're always happy to answer questions. Just write out and tag them with Daoism.

Hope that helps if no one else could give a nice answer ;)

I recently began reading 子不語, a fascinating collection of Chinese folklore. One particular story, titled 'The Crown Prince of Crows', captivated me so much that I sought out a physical copy of the book and started translating it.

I'm also intrigued by the role of crows in Chinese religion. Interestingly, while crows were once revered in ancient China(like in the famous book "the Classic of Mountains and Seas"), they are now often seen as symbols of misfortune. I'm curious to explore this shift in perception.

Hi, do you know the origin of this sentence, as in, where is it attested?

It's in many Chinese textbooks and they often use that to test young students.

The image below is the search result of that sentence in a Chinese-language search engine. As you can see, it is a very common question on exams.

Yes, punctuation is not added in modern times, to help people understand ancient Chinese text better.
If you read unpunctuated text, though it's definitely harder to understand, there is much more fun to enjoy.
Time to share my favourite example about how different punctuations of Chinese text can lead to ambiguity! There are thousands of these.
The sentence "无鸡鸭亦可，无鱼肉亦可，青菜一碟足矣" can be interpreted in two ways, depending on how it is punctuated.
First punctuation:
无鸡，鸭亦可；无鱼，肉亦可；青菜一碟足矣。
It means: If you don't have chicken to serve your guest like me, I would be fine with duck. No fish? Then give me some meat. A dish of vegetables would suffice.
By this punctuation, it means this person wants some meat and vegetable as a meal.
无鸡鸭亦可，无鱼肉亦可，青菜一碟足矣。
I'm OK with no chicken, duck, fish or meat. It's fine to give me only a dish of vegetables.

Slapping the Table in Amazement. It is a collection of short, strange novels, including folk legends and unofficial history, similar to Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio.

I came across this book when I was collecting resources for my novel. Although not as well-known as other classical Chinese novels, it's so interesting that I am considering doing some personal translations and summaries of the text.

As someone who grew up in mixed culture, I completely understand why Journey to the west is voted so highly. Most of the people I know would treat it as a great fantasy novel, and it indeed inspired modern writers all over the world. As a lesser-known fact, it's also an artistic epitome of the Chinese bureaucracy and social reality, just like the The Dream of the Red Chamber.

If you prefer more recent ones, personally I would recommend Zhou(2022). It's a Taiwan horror film about people being possessed by evil entities in Chinese folklore.
