    挂在门上的植物叫艾草,每年端午节,除了赛龙舟和吃粽子,人们还会在门上挂艾草,他们相信艾草可以用来驱除鬼邪和疾病。(艾叶也是中药的一种成分)

    The ones you said “definitely not Chinese” are characters of the language of "Man", which is the ethnic group ruled the Qing dynasty, and the “random” graphics of animals are very common and typical on Qing style clothing.

    • @ramblingbard
      @ramblingbard  5 місяців тому +1

      Fascinating! By Chinese I just generally meant mandarin, but of course that’s too general given the sheer amount of ethnic groups in China.
      Thanks for sharing, the animal was very unique!

      @@ramblingbard The Manchu characters embroidered on the official robe of mandarins dated back to Qing Dynasty, when the Manchus reigned in China. The Manchu language was then used in by the imperial family, but the official language for routine work is Chinese.

      Guys that was Tibetan not Manchu. How do I know? Other than the characters themselves Manchu is always written vertically never horizontal vs Tibetan is always horizontal.
      The white mountains are snow peaks not kyrst. It’s a white elephant and monkey. Symbolism of south Tibet. Why is it in an ancient opera house in xing ping guangxi? I don’t know
