Coquettish Rebirth

The name of the store is still very important. On the one hand, of course, it must reflect a characteristic of our Chinese culture, which has a long history and profound culture, and on the other hand, it must be easy for foreign guests to pronounce. ± Vertex novels, why do you say it is easy for foreign guests to read?Because if you follow the rules of pinyin, foreigners don't know how to pronounce many sounds, and they haven't learned pinyin!So if a person doesn't even know how to pronounce the name of the store he often goes to, how can this help promote it?As soon as you go to eat, you say "go to that Chinese restaurant"?What is the use of this name?But to be honest, some foreigners in China really can't read the pinyin, the most typical one is the pinyin starting with "x".

Our Chinese pinyin "x" is the beginning of the pronunciation of "Xi", but for foreigners, if their "x" is placed at the beginning of a word, it means that the beginning is pronounced as "Aix" or "z" The sound of ", although it can be said that the z sound is similar to Pinyin, but the problem is that there are several ways to pronounce it, and people don't know which one it is!For example, we have a very traditional name called "Mingdexuan". Foreigners don't know if the word "Xuan" is "Aixuan" or "Drilling". This is not conducive to promotion!Traditionally, our Chinese names, such as Zhai, De, and Lou, are all for people to remember, and they are all for people to read easily, so that it is conducive to promotion!

For example, here in Manhattan, there is a 40-[-]-year-old Chinese restaurant that is quite famous among the ordinary middle class in New York. It is called "shun-lee-palace", which seems to have nothing to do with Chinese. ?It actually translates into Chinese as "Shun Shun Gong"!The name of the family has the meaning of a traditional Chinese restaurant that is named auspiciously to win prizes, and the name is deliberately made to be easy for foreigners to pronounce. After a while, explaining that "shun-lee" means smooth sailing, the foreigner immediately finds it interesting up!As for some other Chinese restaurants in the United States, they have various names.Some are deliberately close to China but are a bit tacky. For example, a small street shop may be named "Emperor Restaurant", but in fact this restaurant is about the same size as Shacheng Snacks.

Some are called "Mother Panda", which sounds very friendly, but it's a bit vulgar to use pandas every now and then, as if China can only use pandas.Coincidentally.In the United States, there is also a Chinese food chain store that looks like McDonald's, and the name is "panda-express".If translated literally, the name would be "Panda Express", but in fact the Chinese name is "Panda Express".Seriously, can we be a little creative and not have pandas represent China?It’s a bit interesting for family use, but it’s boring for family use!It's like a western restaurant in China. Although the name is as close to the foreign style as possible, I haven't seen every name like Eagle or Citigroup?If there are western restaurants with this name at every turn, it would be too tacky! <In English, in addition to long, it also means longing, so it becomes the longing of the hand, and the sound is still Hanlong, how about it? Ye Jing asked on a whim. "Village!" "Jia Hongjian directly gave an evaluation without mercy. Ye Jing was not happy when his evaluation came out, "Why did you end up in the village?Then you name it.I do not care!Really..." "Okay, okay, I was teasing you just now.No village no village. "Jia Hongjian smiled and coaxed the girl up. "Hmph, what do you think of Hanlong?" "Ye Jing was persuaded twice, and her face came back, so she naturally lost her temper. "Hanlong is not bad, but I think, let's choose a few more.Hanlong is very good, but what if you think of something better than Hanlong?right? " "Then you think."That's all I can think of anyway. "Ye Jing said with a little temper.

Hearing what the girl said here, Jia Hongjian smiled, put his arms around her, and said, "I think... how about Tianchao...? Tianchao Hotel. In English, it is Paradise Empire Hotel, aurant, How about it? China used to claim to be the kingdom of heaven, so we have to show the history of our empire. There are various kingdoms abroad. They don’t have emperors. There are only a few empires in the world. You have to show it..." Just as Jia Hongjian said this, Ye Jing asked curiously: "Ditong? What is it?" "Ditong is the qualification to be called emperor. Not every country has such a qualification." Yes, although Japan is called the Emperor, there is actually no imperial lineage, so it is only a king level. In fact, the whole world in the early days was actually one imperial lineage in Europe, one imperial lineage in the Middle East, one imperial lineage in India, and one imperial lineage in China. There are only four empires in the world. Later, Europe and East Rome split, and Europe became two empires, a Western Roman Empire and an Eastern Roman Empire. The Western Roman Empire later became the so-called Holy Roman Empire. It is the imperial line of Shenluo, and Dongluo collapsed after the fall of Constantinople at the end of the 15th century."

Having said this, Jia Hongjian paused, he was very familiar with this stuff in history!He has learned a lot so that he can chat with all kinds of people! "Why was the king of Russia called the Tsar? It was because the king of Russia married a niece of the Eastern Roman emperor before the defeat of Constantinople or something. So after the collapse of the Eastern Roman Empire, the Russian king announced that he had inherited the Eastern Roman Empire. The imperial line of the Roman Empire, so it is not called the king, but the tsar, and the so-called tsar is just a transliteration of the word Caesar in Latin. As for their imperial line in Russia, other European countries do not recognize it, and then Turkey, which destroyed Eastern Rome, also announced that it had integrated the imperial system of Rome, which is a mess anyway. In the Middle East, the caliphate is equivalent to an imperial system.

India, India is a geographical concept in history, and there is no empire that completely unifies the whole territory.But after Britain turned India into a colony, it said that India was an empire, so in fact, the title of Queen on the head of the Queen of England was the title of Emperor of India. In the UK, she herself was the title of Queen of England and Queen of Scots. That's all.Then, except for these few emperors, our Chinese rulers used to be called emperors, and the bosses of other countries could not call themselves emperors.At the same time, only a country where the boss is the emperor can be called an empire, that is, an empire, otherwise it can only be called a kingdom or a principality.The boss of the kingdom is the king, and the boss of the principality is the duke or something like that..." <The translation is still wrong? We are not a kingdom but an empire! It should be a middle-empire!" Ye Jing suddenly said a little dissatisfied.Women are very sensitive to hierarchy. She found out that China is clearly an empire, why was it somehow downgraded to a kingdom by some scholars?We have imperial lineage! "That's right, so we can't say it's -of-heaven, we can't say it's the kingdom of heaven, but empire-of-heaven, the empire of heaven!" Having said this, Jia Hongjian had a series of new ideas, "Then We don't have private rooms here, so we can play tricks on the names of each table.

We don't use 1234 or A, B, C, D to sort the tables, but we can use the names of foreign missionaries who came to China in history as the table codes.For example, the first table can be named after the first Spanish missionary who wanted to come to China to preach, Francis Xavier. The Spanish name of Xavier is francis-xavier, which is Francis- Xavier, we can put such a card on the first table, draw Xavier’s head on it, write his Chinese name and foreign name, and then when the guests come to this table, the waiter will immediately You can introduce Xavier's history to them... Doesn't the sense of history come out all of a sudden? "

Speaking of this, Jia Hongjian immediately became excited, "After Xavier is finished, the second table can be Luo Mingjian. This person is from Naples in Italy. His foreign name is ieri, Michel Roger The third table can be the Italian Matteo Ricci, and then there can be Tang Ruowang and so on... Until the number of foreign missionaries in China increased in the late Qing Dynasty, our table is definitely enough, absolutely Let every table be hung with the name of a foreigner who has a lot to do with Chinese history, and then you can tell what contributions these people have made to China! This way has a sense of history! Compared with us, those All the foreigners’ restaurants have no history, and all of them are fucking nouveau riche!”

That's right, China is the only surviving of the four ancient civilizations!It is also the only thing that has not changed in the nation!Like what ancient Babylon?The country is gone, and the people are dead long ago.Ancient India?The country is gone, and the people are almost dead. Now the high castes in India are all light-skinned, and they all look like white people. They are all Aryans, who came down from the Iranian plateau to invade!Ancient Egypt?The country is long gone, and even the race has changed!It means that our Chinese race has not changed, and our Chinese culture has not stopped!Moreover, China is the only country in the world that records history professionally. Other countries use Homer's epics as historical materials for events in BC. We have enough history books here!

Even thinking of history, Jia Hongjian came up with a very awesome idea in his head!If this idea is implemented, it would be really awesome... (To be continued...)
