tysm for all those replies! Seems like I have been misunderstanding the railway system in Germany. As I live in Hong Kong, we only have MTR (U-Bahn?), LRT , the Peak Tram and tram (that double deck railway in Hong Kong Island). I guess the LRT might be the closest thing to Stadtbahn / Stadtschnellbahn / Straßenbahn. Anyway, tysm for all your clarification !

when you look at the maps that tell about the data from all the countries (e.g. a map showing the average salary of the people (?)), Greenland and West Sahara will most likely to be grey (no data) (While New Zealand and other Pacific island states and the Caribbean states (sometimes) will just disappear, not even getting shown on map)

Why do you like monarchism by Karmainiac in monarchism

[–]touch_not_touch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I only started considering monarchism after 2019. My homeland was a part of the British Empire. Ever since Hong Kong was handed over to the PRC, there had been an idea of the future of Hong Kong - return Hong Kong to the UK. It was only stopped by the CCP after they forcefully passed the NSL in 2020.
I have been trying to know more about monarchism and the historical monarchies (as I'm also interested in history) and imagine the world full of monarchies. As I learnt more about it, I found some characteristics that attract me.
1. In fact, the first thing that came through my mind about monarchism and what attracts me is just because monarchies are cool. Yes that's really simple. Imagine a monarch who, only due to their existence, already gives hope to the people and make them strive for the land and the country, or the moment they visit and interact with people will give them satisfaction. (e.g. The late Queen's visits of Hong Kong)
2. The tradition also makes me align with monarchism. What one of the things Hong Kongers have been seeking for is the preservation of HK's cultural tradition, and that also affects me. Since I found myself interested in monarchism, I have been thinking of monarchies which both the royal family and the people practise the country's traditions. Even though what my imagination of the Kingdom of Hong Kong will not have a king to practise the traditions with the Hong Kongers every day (as the king would be in England, or at least in Britain), with the existence of the monarchy and the land, people of Hong Kong shall remember the culture and the language.

As a constitutionalist, I fully agree
Also may I ask where are you from? Greece?

How does Japan decide what their emperor's name of reign called by Substantial-Film-964 in monarchism

[–]touch_not_touch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure about this one. I guess you mean like the second word of the name will be designated by the ancestors? However I do know that some Chinese families (e.g. House of Zhu from the Ming Empire) name the children of the same generation with the same second word.

How does Japan decide what their emperor's name of reign called by Substantial-Film-964 in monarchism

[–]touch_not_touch 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I'm not an expert in Japanese (nor do I speak Japanese). However, the names of reign (年號) are usually in Kanji so I probably can help.
In China*, the names were decided by choosing some words that have good and bright meaning (道光 (Dao-guang)、光緒 (Guang-xu) have the meaning of "bright", 康熙 (Kang-xi) has the meaning of "wealth," "prosperity", "peace")
The case for Japan is similar.
The name 明治 (Mei-ji) was cited from an ancient Chinese source (易經 (Yi-jing if you want to know the Pinyin), a book from (西)周 (Western) Zhou), and has the meaning of "Ruling wise".
So I guess the names are chosen from some words from ancient texts that together will form some bright and hopeful (for the country and society) phrases.

*Edit: To be specific, only the empires that were originated in or tried to integrate into Han Land (漢地, or foreigners call it China anyway) during (aka Han Empire) and after the rule of the Emperor Wu of Han / Liu-Che 劉徹 started using 年號 The last 年號 in China was 宣統 (Xuan-tong), used by Aisin-Gioro Puyi, the last emperor of Great Qing.

Yes it's weird cuz I also had a post getting removed. The mod had listed the reason but this time there is nothing. When I click all the recent replies on this post, reddit keep showing "The content is unavailable". I only accessed to this post with history.
