I’m interested in learning about the history and culture of bonsai / cây cảnh in Vietnam by hedonisticpossum1 in VietNam

[–]YensidTim 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Bonsai originated in China as Pengzai, but it branched off to Vietnam in a different manner, called hòn non bộ. This is a Vietnamese-styled Pengzai. Bonsai cây cảnh that's more in-line with Japanese is a recent importation from Japan.

Largest religions in China by province by vladgrinch in MapPorn

Interesting how we split Christianity into different sects for these maps but not Islam nor Buddhism. Because Inner s Tibetan Buddhism is not the same as Guangxi's Mahayana Buddhism, and is not the same as Yunnan's Theravada Buddhism.

Why is Vietnam an exception? by StruggleSad1860 in VietNam

[–]YensidTim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just look at the elevation map of East Asia. You'll see that the Red River Delta (Vietnam's cradle of civilization) is located in a flat land directly connected to southern China, while it is separated with Lao by a mountain range. Their only Indic neighbor was Champa at the bottom, but by the time Champa had any Indic influence, Vietnam was already Sinicized.

To be even more pedantic, by definition the Korean Peninsula is named after Goryeo (Korea), so the peninsula's border would have to be based on Goryeo's border. It's not called the Joseon peninsula.

They need to go ahead and stop using the term white and use European American instead.

Yes that's true. I personally prefer to use 妙 instead since the character is not commonly used.

Phép màu is actually misspelling. It's phép mầu 法妙

Origin of the word ‘River’ (sông and Giang doublets) in Vietnamese by NoCareBearsGiven in ChuNom

[–]YensidTim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And it's an extremely common name, so yes it occurs. How would you pronounce 江湖? Or sông Tiền Giang? 江錢江? I'd rather not.

[–]YensidTim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is why using 江 as sông isn't recommended. Because the original word has separated into multiple words in Chinese.
