DeadPoet SG Just curious who are 1) Good in Mandarin? 2) Love Chinese History and Poetry? I considered my Mandarin quite okay, both written and spoken and I love Chinese History and Poetry.
missqi SG i suck totally at mandarin and chinese. but i am quite interested in the female aspect of Chinese history.
Mid9Sun SG I am decent with chinese and fair amount of knowledge of chinese history..but know nuts abt chinese poetry tho
Mid9Sun SG No..poison's too mild..if I remember the so call "historic records" She chopped off the concubine's 4 limbs and toss her into a jar and made her blind deaf and mute
missqi SG if i had tt kind of power. I'd stick needles in all her follicles. Cut off her limbs. dunk her in hot oil. insert thgs up her vagina. finally... cook her. and make her kids eat her.
Mid9Sun SG Ok you win...remind me never to cross you and always stay on your good side even when you are damn ridiculous..
Mid9Sun SG Ok since we chatted abt bad empresses ..there are good ones too. like the Empressor Dowager (spelling??) Xiao Zhuang... Kang Xi's grandma
missqi SG hmmm. i prefer the evil ones. I personally like the concubines too. though when it comes to history, i prefer those on European history.
Mid9Sun SG European history really messy..I have a hard time sorting them out..esp since all jumble up one....
