More Great Information on Crescent White:
Why do my fingernails have weird ridges in them?
Its really strange. Or at least it is to me...I have ridges or lines running up and down my fingernails....Just wondering why they are there and if it's a bad thing.... Also what was that thing about the color of your (I think it's called) "Lunula"? It's the crescent white-ish shape at the bottom of your nail...Does the coloring of that mean anything?
Thanks,
~M
Vitamin B12 should fix that problem. Its a deficiency in Vitamin B12
I had exactly the same problem and B12 FIXED IT.
History of Chinese Writing by Bill Ross
Though spoken Chinese varies widely with geography and era, written Chinese has remained much the same. While written English from 1500 is nearly incomprehensible to a modern English reader, Chinese from the same era would not present great difficulties for a reader of modern Chinese. Writing and speaking have always been somewhat separate "departments" in the culture of the Han (the predominant ethnic group in today's China).
Writing first appeared 2500 years ago in the Shang dynasty as scripts on bone chips called "oracle bones," which were used for divination. Starting around 750 BCE and lasting for a couple of centuries, the "Spring and Autumn Period" introduced literary writing, including the works of the poet-philosopher known in the West as Confucius. This style of writing still exists, and is known as "classical style" or "gu-wn." (Character set limitations for this article keep me from reproducing any characters and several symbols.)
For the last 1800 years or so, since the late Han Dynasty, the method of making strokes and expressing characters has remained much the same. But in fewer than 100 years, a great many modernizations have occurred, such that the grandparent generation may have difficulty reading today's newspaper.
China's last ruling dynasty (the Qing dynasty) was overthrown in 1912. Since then, several different political and academic groups tried orthographic reform (changing the written language), with differing degrees of success. Their purpose was always to simplify characters, to rationalize usage, to improve literacy rates, and to reflect new political values. A more vernacular (less stilted) style of writing became popular. It was called literally "white Chinese" (bi-hu), and was the pre-courser of the written language now used throughout the Peoples' Republic of China. Of course, each region has its own set of non-standard, home-grown characters that express local interests and culture.
Simplified Characters. One of China's long-standing reform ideas was finally resolved by the government of the PRC. It was the simplification of overly complicated characters. Characters with large numbers of strokes are hard to recognize and even harder to remember how to write. By the 1960's, the government had significantly reduced the complexity of several thousand of the most common characters. The so-called "Simplified System" has been enforced in mainland China through the schools and the media. It is also followed in Malaysia and Singapore. The "Traditional Writing" still prevails in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau and among Chinese populations elsewhere. Many texts, especially those directed to readers not on the mainland, show both versions of words, just to be clear for everyone. One of the complaints raised by critics is that "simplification" has led to a more complicated situation, with two parallel writing systems in effect. Proponents answer that it is only a matter of time before the Simplified System outlives the proponents of traditional writing.
Writing Styles.
"Standard Script" ("kai-shu") is the writing that most westerners are accustomed to seeing. The characters are the tall and rectangular, and clearly display the taper of the brush strokes. It is the most common form of Chinese writing in use today.
"Song" is the name in the PRC for the printed fonts associated with Standard Script. Elsewhere the name is "Ming." They are named for the dynasties when they first appeared. This is a non-calligraphic version of standard characters; that is, a version without brush strokes.. Such printed fonts are also widely used in Japan and elsewhere in Asia. Occasionally they differ in minor respects from Standard Script.
"Grass Script"(a mistranslation of "cao-shu") is a sort of cursive writing in wide use. Its name is a short form of an expression that means "sloppy writing." It is faster to write and harder to read than standard script. Many native-born Chinese are literate, but remain baffled by grass script.
"Large Seal Script" ("d-zhun") relates back to a much earlier time, before brush strokes appeared. The lines are uniform in width and the characters are often rounded. This script is used in modern times mainly for name seals or "chops" and for other decorative purposes.
"Small Seal Script" ("xiao-zhun") relates to the official and formal writing method employed in the Qing Dynasty, which governed China from 1644 to 1912.
"Clerical" or "Chancery Script ("l-shu") was used for government business in past centuries whenever "small seal script" was too slow and impracticable. It was the first of the squared-off writing styles, not as tall and sleek as Standard Script, but very clear and legible. The characters show brush tapers, but less so than in Standard Script. Fonts of clerical or chancery script are frequently used for headings and headlines in papers, signs and posters.
