Well, their names, cities, rivers, mountains, everything, corresponds to actual Chinese words, not just stuff made up. For example, Washington is not an English word, it is just a name. My name, Ben, is not a word, well been is, but not Ben. Ivan is not a word, Canis is not a word, etc, etc, etc. However like I said everything they have corresponds to words because their writing system is based on pictures, not an alphabet, so new characters can't be made up, there is only a set amount, that can't change. I will give some examples. Mao Zedong- Eastern Swamp Hair, roughly Beijing- North Capital Xi'an- Western Peace Nanjing- South Capital Chengdu- Completed City Sichuan- Four Rivers Zhongguo (China)- Middle Country Meiguo (America)- Beautiful Country Riben (Japan)- Sun Land (Land of the Rising Sun) Tiananmen- Heaven Peace Gate (Gate of Heavenly Peace) Seems kinda stupid at first lol, I know. No its not stupid! I didn't know that ! Its pretty fascinating , thanks for input ! -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net
