Many Chinese characters still retain some clues of formation that happened thousands of years ago. Let’s take a look at the character below. The picture on the left is an oracle bone script of birds in Shang Dynasty, which is quite similar to how we write birds “鸟” nowadays.

Learning Mandarin is a long but colorful journey. There is a saying in the Analects of Confucius: 欲速则不达, which means "if you seek to do things too quickly, it results in more haste but less speed".

Xiaoman“小满” is the eighth solar term in the 24 traditional chinese solar terms.In this period,the grain of the crop begins to become full,but not fully mature, so it is called "Xiaoman" or "Grain Buds". #leicestershire #culturematters #deliciousfood

Learning Mandarin is a colorful journey. There is a saying in the Tao Te Ching (《道德经》): 千里之行,始于足下 (拼音:Qiān lǐ zhī xíng,shǐ yú zú xià), which means “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step”. Have you taken the first step in learning Mandarin?

The two workshops held last week were very interesting. We folded paper zongzi, painted eggs, and made egg holders. We had a lot of fun. I hope there will be more events like this. #dragonboatfestival #ricedumplings
