Chinese Chess

The Chinese game of chess is rather different to the version used in the west. There are strong reasons to suppose that the Chinese game 象棋 Xiangqi or 'elephant game' is closer to the original form. The absence of a Queen piece and the strange rules for Cannons make this a more challenging game than the version played in the West.

Learning the language

One of the most loathed books in human history must be the Thousand Character Classic. For 1,500 years schoolchildren had to learn the whole set of 1,000 characters by rote. It was more about calligraphy practice rather than for making conversation. It remains a fact that learning a couple of thousand characters is a challenge to even young minds.

Spirit Ways to Imperial Tombs

For over 3,000 years illustrious people had an elaborate underground burial tomb. Although many tombs have been looted over the ages, the spirit way or sacred way with rows of stone sculptures have often survived.
