How to use the blog?

1. All the Chinese words on the blog are jpg files, so they can appear on any computer without problems. You may save the images as new files in your computers, or you may click and link to the flickr album.



2. You may print the images out as hard copies and take the copies to your tattoo stores, asking the boss, "can you make this?" Or you may send the image files to your custom t-shirt makers.



3. Beware that some words here may cause negative feelings. Make sure you know the meanings of the words you choose.



4. Some words here are single-character, and others may be within two, three, or more characters. It's easy to identify the characters.



5. There are two kinds of Chinese words, Simplified Chinese (s.c., common in Mainland China) and Traditional Chinese (t.c., common in Hong-Kong and Taiwan). I'm from Taiwan, so I put t.c. first. I'll note (t.c.), (s.c.), or both at the end of each word.



6. Click tags to search for specific kinds of Chinese words. I separate the words by several tags below:

Man: masculine words, such as wild, brave, etc.

Woman: feminine words, such as beautiful, love, etc.

Animal: words about real or fictional animals, such as bull, beast, monster, etc.

Religion: words about religions, such as God, ghost, devil, etc.

Philosophical: words about philosophy, such as ethics, void, etc.

Positive: words with positive feelings, such as love, joy, trust, etc.

Negative: words with negative feelings, such as sad, mad, dangerous, etc.

Dangerous: words that may insult others, such as fxxk, sxxk, etc. Do think twice as you select these words.

Others: I may increase new tags as long as it's necessary.




7. There are words separated in multiple tags. For example, "beast" is for "man" and "animal", and "devil" is for "religion" and "negative".



8. If there are no words you are interested in, please email me the words you want to know. And I'll appreciate if you may explain more details of your needs in the email.

For example, "Please tell me some words about lions or leopards".



9. Or, if you find some words looked cool but you don't know what they mean, please send me the image file (screen snapshot or scanned files) of the words. And I'll try to explain their meanings.



10. If available, please tell me if you don't mind sharing the Q&A in your email with others on the blog.
