"No.2 high school(Tian Jiabin Exprimental high school)"
"Number 2" as in second best? Or "Number 2" as in - it's high school number two? If it's the second best - who is the best? It is obvious that no.1 is the best. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.126.111.21 (talk) 05:46, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Leshan in English
What's for literaly translation of Leshan (樂山)? Happy Mountain? Joy Mt.? Roded86400 11:08, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
 * The character 'Le' actually has dual-pronunciations, the other one being 'Yue', meaning music, and that's the actual name when the city was first named: there is a well in the middle of the city, half-way on a hill, called Ding-Dong Well (叮咚井), and it is said to have music coming out of it at the middle of the night. I guess people call it 'Le' because it seemed to make more sense for those who weren't aware of the stories and it just went down like this. --Jzmpeg (talk) 05:09, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
 * The literal translation is Happy Mountain, yes, but the English name is Leshan. — Llywelyn II   08:08, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

貳柒拾 incorrectly identified as traditional
In the discussion of the card game 2-7-10, the article incorrectly identifies the Chinese characters 二七十 as "simplified" and 貳柒拾 as "traditional". In fact, 二七十 are the standard Chinese characters for 2, 7 and 10 in both simplified and traditional Chinese scripts. 貳柒拾 are members the set of "formal" or "capital" number characters, widely used in banking and financial transactions in China and Taiwan. Note that the capital characters themselves have both a simplified and a traditional version.

The discussion of the card game 2-7-10
is commented out below:

<!--=== Local Card Game === A popular card game called Two, Seven, Ten is often enjoyed by the locals as an alternative to Mahjong.

Suits — There are two suits: big and small differentiated by both colours and their characters/patterns. The big suit is red and the small suit is black.

The cards belonging to the big suit always carry three points more than those of the small suit if the meld (see below) carries points at all.

Melds — When a player discards a card, any other player may "call" for it in order to complete a meld (a certain set of three or four cards) in their own hands. When a meld is declared through a discard, the player must state the type of meld to be declared and place the meld face up. The player must then discard a card (with the exception that they are making the second meld of four of a kind), and play continues to the left.

The disadvantage of doing this is that the player must now expose the completed meld to the other players, giving them information on the availability of cards left in the deck.


 * Duì meaning to make use of a pair) — A Duì is a set of three identical cards. If a duì is made by calling a card, a big duì carries three points whilst a small dui carries one point. If it is made in a player's hand during the initial drawing, their carry six and three points respectively.
 * Kāi — A Kāi is a set of four identical cards. A kāi in the big suit carries nine points and six points in the small suit if exposed; or they both gain three extra points for being concealed in a player's hand.

If a player is forming a second set of kāi all cards (both concealed in their hands and exposed on the table) considered, they should not discard any cards for that particular turn or they will not be able to win the game.


 * Chī — A Chī is a meld of three suited tiles in sequence or any three cards of the same number. They do not carry any points unless they are formed by the numbers two, seven and ten.

When a chī is formed by calling, any melds that contains the card being called need to be exposed to other players as well.


 * 2-7-10 The meld 2-7-10 is a special type of chī which can only be formed if they are of the same suit. A black or small 2-7-10 carries three points when exposed, and six if not; a red or big set carries six or nine points depending on its visibility to other players.
 * Jiang — The pair, while not a meld (and thus cannot be declared or formed with a discard, except if completing the pair completes the hand), is the final component to the standard hand. It consists of any two identical cards.

Gameplay — The game starts by a chosen player (if the first game) or the winner (of the previous game) drawing the first two cards. Each player then draws two cards until the lead has 20 cards in their hand and announces the end of the drawing phase by drawing one last card and discarding the first card. So each player has 20 cards to start with. -->

It doesn't belong in an article about a location, but feel free to create a separate article about it or Chinese card games in general, move the info there, and link to it from here in some terse fashion. — Llywelyn II   08:07, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
