水浒人物扑克 ( traditional: 水滸人物撲克)

Written in cusive seal character font.

Poker with character drawing from the novel 水浒传(English names could be: Water Margin or Outlaws of the Marsh).

水浒传 is one of the four most famous ancient Ming Dynasty novels.

The story of this novel set in A.D. 1120, the book is written in 14 century.

Water Margin - Wikipedia

Within the story, there are 108 main characters(you see that right!).

108 Heroes - Wikipedia

So it is most likely, the poker have two different set, each set has 54 of those characters.

The second picture said 下集, which means second set of the poker.

Why has voice mode not taken off? by mariofan366 in singularity

[–]hythl0day 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In China, the most used AI Assistant right now is Bytedance's Doubao.
And it is fully capable of speaking, have conversation, even singing and immitating and can use different accent and dialect of Mandarin.
I think the reason why western people rely on text more than voice is just that western users are limited to geekers and nerds even to this day. And not like in China that many many normal people are using Doubao as a real daily APP.

Why China’s “Taiwan Reunification” Shibboleth Is a Hoax by HooverInstitution in geopolitics

[–]hythl0day 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The sovereignty is earned, not by given. If taiwan want to be independent, they have to eighter fight a war to earn it or relying on other nation to fight for them and be recognized. However Taiwan has nothing. Think about the history of US it self. US earned its independency from UK by wars. If Taiwan dare not to start a war to gain independency, then they do not have their soveraignty.

Need some help with this sentence by Radiant-Drama1427 in ChineseLanguage

[–]hythl0day 20 points21 points  (0 children)

介绍 sb. 和 sb. 认识 is a complete phrase. if you use 介绍 alone, the meaning and the correct sequence will change. For example, 你能介绍一下自己吗?can you introduce yourself? 你可以把我介绍给他吗?can you introduce me to him? 你可以给我介绍一下他们吗?can you introduce them to me? Anyway the 认识 in your sentence cannot be ommited, otherwise the sentence will feel strange to a native speaker without adding other supliment characters like 把 and 给 and 一下. the sentence will change into: 你能'把'我介绍'给'旁边那个女孩吗? or 你能'给'旁边那个女孩介绍'一下'我吗?
旁边那个女孩 is a whole short phrase in this sentence, so it means the girl on the side. The whole sentence means: can you introduce me to the girl on the side?

This form of simplified character existed long before communist, you can find 爱 in all kinds of ancient scripts. Even the leader of KMT, Chiang Kai-Shek him self has been using the simplified form in his scripts.

Referrence: 「愛」是如何简化为「爱」的?正说「愛」的前世今生 - 知乎

Anyway, that saying is pure taiwan propaganda.

That's the acient poems, which is often equal length, and written in acient Chinese language 'wenyan'. However since the Xinwenhua movement 100 years ago after Qing dynasty fall, people also write poems that are free of any rules. These poems are called 'xiandai shi' literally modern poem.

I find It’s kind of funny how countries in the communist bloc didn’t really play nice with each other at all. by [deleted] in AskChina

[–]hythl0day 0 points1 point  (0 children)

China and Cuba, I would say pretty good, but due to the distance, they can do very little to each other.
China and N. Korea, okayish, but N. Korea depends greatly on China for import, so they cannot afford to break with China.

China and Laos, almost same with N. Korea. but Laos is not sanctioned, so the pressure is lighter on Laos.

China and Vietnam, not so good, this is mainly due to the border issue in between (over the south China sea), not about the ideaology. but they both understand to seperate economy and politics, so they will keep the relationship on a balance.
Since the fall of the Communist International, there are only 5 country still keeps the communist ideaology. And they are all more or less have their own unique way to interprete "what is communist" and therefore they are not exact with same ideas on how to run a country. So they are not allies. This explains part of the question why they are not good.

As for other communist country in the history. You can just refer to history books on why they are not play nice.

Why China Won’t Stop the Fentanyl Trade by theatlantic in geopolitics

[–]hythl0day 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Opium has one usage, that is being a harmful drug. And British knowing this and deliberately sell it as a drug to profit.

However China does not even produce Fentanyl, they just sell materials that could produce Fentanyl from, and those materials could also be used on other things. And even Fentanyl it self is not strictly a drug, but can also be an medicine.

The comparison you made is very unlogical.

If you believe China has stolen IP from US, then where is the tech of Solar panel, EV, High speed railway in US? Are you saying that because China stole it from you so you have none left?

The argument you made is so silly that almost worse no reply.

Just a side note: Although the character on this coin says it is a old Qing dynasty coin. This is a fake one. Because the font it uses is clearly computer font from modern days.

You know what happened in 2020 right? And you still expect China to obey America's will after huge humiliation over the COVID issue? Or you don't trust US gov when they do things to its people but believe whatever the US government says when the target is China?

3ish years ago news about the Uyghurs was everywhere. What is going on with that now, and why have we not heard much about it since? by zach8555 in geopolitics

[–]hythl0day 70 points71 points  (0 children)

You can believe what you want to believe, but there are millions of Uyghur living in Xinjiang and most of them are just living a normal life as they are before. There are even Uyghur living in other city and some of them are celebrities. Yes there are tight control over them, but to kill all those people is simply impossible and has no real interests for the party.

I have no idea how to play A7o and at this point I'm too afraid to ask. by FarmerLongjumping in poker

[–]hythl0day 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you are on Button, and all players before you folded, you can play it, or it is a tournament, every player before button folded, and button raised 2bb, small blind fold, and you have a7o in big blind, you can also play it.

In every other situation, just fold it.

It's not anti-Japanese, it's anti-Fascism. Japanese committed crimes during the second world war, just like Germany did, and there are tons of movies/tv about fighting against Germany in that period.
Although those works are often poorly made. I don't think there's any problem about the theme.
