I Ching 《易经》 “Yì jīng”

Image
  I Ching is  an ancient Chinese manual of  divination   based on eight   symbolic   trigrams   and sixty-four   hexagrams , interpreted in terms of the principles of   yin   and yang. It was included as one of the ‘five classics’ of Confucianism.  As a divination text, the I Ching is used for a Chinese form of cleromancy known as I Ching divination in which bundles of yarrow stalks are manipulated to produce sets of six apparently random numbers ranging from 6 to 9. Each of the 64 possible sets corresponds to a hexagram, which can be looked up in the I Ching. 🧿 The I Ching, Yin & Yang, and the Five Elements: Ancient Wisdom for Modern Life For thousands of years, Chinese philosophy has offered deep insights into the natural world and human behavior.

👉 洗手间 ( xĭshŏujiān ) toilet is composed of these characters:  📌  洗   (xi) , wash. 📌  手  (shŏu) , hand. 👋 📌  间   (jian) , between. 🚻 Toilets in China: What Travelers Should Know 📌 If you're planning a trip to China, there’s one topic that might catch you off guard — the toilet situation. It’s not glamorous, but knowing what to expect can save you from awkward surprises.  📌 Here’s a quick guide to toilets in China, from squat toilets. 🚽 Squat Toilets Are Still Common In many public places — especially outside big cities — you’ll find squat toilets rather than Western-style seats. These are floor-level fixtures where you squat instead of sit. They’re hygienic in terms of contact, but can be tricky if you're not used to them. Pro tips: Always carry tissues or toilet paper — most public toilets don’t provide any. Hand sanitizer is a must, as soap and water aren’t guaranteed either.
