I have learned this cup game from a professor who is teaching Chinese in America.

This cup game imerges music into the Chinese learning, and mostly Americans like it.

Check this game on your own and make customized exercises based on good presentations.

Somehow, music and language is the same, and listening to Chinese music helps you to know more about the Chinese language.

Recommended Games for Chinese Learning Chinese Idiom: 虎头蛇尾（Head of a tiger, tail of a snake.) Hello, after watching all eight seasons of HBO's Game of Thrones, I thought I would like to share a Chinese idiom I have learned recently. 虎头蛇尾 (hǔ tóu shé wěi) Literal translation: Head of a tiger, tail of a snake. Meaning: Something that starts with a bang but ends with a whimper; putting great effort into something initially but poor or little effort toward the end. 虎 hǔ = Tiger 头 tóu = Head 蛇 shé = Snake 尾 wěi = Tail Used in a sentence: 你做事怎么虎头蛇尾 "How come you started out great but ended up doing a sloppy job?" 这个电视剧的剧情有点虎头蛇尾 "This TV show's story was good in the beginning but sucked in the end." As you might have noticed that, like most Chinese idioms, this idiom is best used as an adjective. You can use it by itself, or, in most cases, place it at the end of a sentence.

But the mountain road to the Shu state is very steep, the army has no way to the Shu. 秦王的谋士想到一条计策，说秦国发现了有一头能下金粪的石牛，并且想把这头牛送给蜀王。 A counselor to the king of Qin thought of a scheme, said they found a stone cow that could lay gold manure and wanted to give the cow to the king of Shu. 蜀王听说秦王要送给自己一头能下金子的牛，不觉得有奇怪和危险，反而非常高兴。于是他下令民工开山填谷，铺筑道路迎接石牛。 The king of Shu heard that Qin wanted to give himself a cow that could lay gold, not to feel any strange and dangerous, but very happy. So he ordered the migrant workers to open the mountain to fill the valley and pave the way to meet the stone cattle. 但是，秦王率领军队紧随石牛的后面，从而导致蜀国毁灭，蜀王也死了。 However, Qin led the army to follow the stone cow behind, which led to the destruction of the Shu, and the king died. 人们嘲笑蜀王是贪小利而失大利。 People derided the king of Shu, as greedy for small profits but losing big profits. - - - - - - HSK 1 不高兴和后面了没有是说他想有这的 HSK 2 非常觉得可以路要也 HSK 3 把发现奇怪自己 HSK 4 并且十分死危险于是 HSK 5 从而导致反而时期迎接 HSK 6 嘲笑毁灭军队率领贪婪 “To lose”: diū 丢 vs. shīqù 失去 vs. shū 输 vs. mílù 迷路.

Much controversy surrounds the origin of polo. Tibet, China, Iran, India, and Central Asia have all been proposed as homelands for the game. It remains possible that the game had more than one point of origin, though a recent study has argued convincingly that polo developed in northeastern Iran out of the equestrian chase games played by the mounted nomads of Central Asia in the last centuries before the Common Era. Polo probably was introduced to China sometime between the end of the Han period (206 B.C.E.- 220 C.E.) and the early part of the Tang dynasty (618-907). It seems likely that it was introduced by the Xianbei tribes that controlled northern China from the fourth to the sixth century. The ruling house of the Tang dynasty, the Li family, itself had Xianbei ancestry, at least on the maternal side. The Xianbei, because of their nomadic origins, had a great fondness for horses, a trait that (like many aspects of their culture) was inherited by the Tang dynasty. It is also notable that the Xianbei accorded higher status and more physical freedom to women than the Han Chinese, so women became avid polo players under the Tang dynasty. The emperors of the Tang dynasty such as Zhongzong, Xuanzong, Muzong, Jingzong, Xuanzong, Xizong, and Zhaozong were all supporters and participants themselves in the polo sport. In the 6th year of the Tianbao era (747), Emperor Tang Xuanzong issued a special order and declared that polo would become one of the subjects for military training. Polo was wildly popular during the Tang dynasty but it was also dangerous; riders thrown from their horses were frequently injured or killed. So sometimes donkeys were used instead of horses - as a safer alternative.
