
There were no other customers in the restaurant. Sighing in despair, Uncle Li and his wife were sitting opposite each other and discussing the restaurant's revenues. They were very confident when buying the diner, but they never expected that the business wouldn't improve much since then, because it was difficult to attract customers from the other restaurants around them.
Seeing Zhang Zian and another customer walk in, Uncle Li and his wife quickly greeted them.
Since it wasn't meal time yet, Zhang Zian only ordered two cups of orange juice.
After the orange juice was served, Uncle Li and his wife left them alone.
If Zhang Zian had never ran into Meng Li at the library and received help from him that day, it would have been impossible for Zhang Zian to ever locate the untitled book. Meng Li had left the library before Zhang Zian, who had been wondering about this question ever since that time. Today, he'd ran into Meng Li again. He wouldn't miss another opportunity to find out the answer.
Meng Li didn't have a deep impression of that day. When Zhang Zian reminded him, he remembered and said, "Oh, that was the subject you were referring to. Manager Zhang, are you really studying mathematics?"
"I'm slightly interested in it," Zhang Zian said vaguely. "How did you know that the book was hidden in the reference book section?"
"Hidden in the reference book section?" Stunned, Meng Li corrected him. "No, no, you're misunderstood. I mean, assuming that there was such a book about life, the universe, and everything, it should be placed in the reference book section. It was merely my assumption. A book like that doesn't truly exist, right? Or have you really found such a book?"
"No, I haven't. It was just the slip of the tongue." Zhang Zian tried to cover up his previous question. "Is there anything special about the origin of the book? How did you decide that it would be in the reference section?"
Meng Li smiled confidently. "Assuming there is such a book, not only could I conclude that it would be in the reference book section, but I could also determine that it would be placed on a bookshelf with various dictionaries."
Holy crap! Zhang Zian was shocked.
That was f**king amazing!
Meng Li obviously had left the library before Zhang Zian that day, but it seemed like he had witnessed Zhang Zian finding the untitled book next to a pile of English dictionaries.
Zhang Zian became increasingly curious. Knowing that Meng Li was holding him in suspense, Zhang Zian said calmly, "Mr. Meng, are you able to know things without fortune telling?"
"No, I don't have that kind of ability." Meng Li stopped smiling and said seriously, "Have you heard of Hyperwebster?"
"What?" Startled, Zhang Zian racked his brain to search for the term in his memory, but nothing came up. 
Meng Li explained, "Hyperwebster is a thought experiment proposed by the famous mathematician and science fiction novelist Dr. Ian Stewart. This thought experiment means that, assuming that such a dictionary exists, and that the dictionary consists of 26 English letters, starting with A, ending with an infinite number of Z, like this—"
To demonstrate, Meng Li pulled out a napkin, laid it out on the table, and wrote on it with a pen he had:
A, AA, AAA, AAAA...
AB, ABA, ABAA, ABAAA...
AC, ACA, ACAA, ACAAA...
...
Z, ZA, ZAA, ZAAA...
ZB, ZBA, ZBAA, ZBAAA...
...
ZZ, ZZZ, ZZZZ, ZZZZZ...
Zhang Zian was perplexed, but he saw that the sequence of these letters seemed to be similar to what he'd seen previously in that untitled book.
Meng Li pushed the napkin to Zhang Zian and put the pen down. He asked, "You know what this means? This means that the Hyperwebster contains all the possible combinations of English letters. Whether they're English words that exist now, or new words that will be coined in the next hundred or thousand years later, they're already included in the Hyperwebster. For example, 'zidecuz'. This isn't a word, and it isn't currently included in any dictionary. If someone were to write this word, it would definitely be thought of as a misspelling. But maybe a year in the future, the word will be given some sort of meaning from people. At that time, people would be surprised to find that this word has already been included in the Hyperwebster, assuming that such a dictionary does exist."
Meng Li drank a few mouthfuls of orange juice to wet his throat, giving Zhang Zian time to process what he'd said.
Zhang Zian stared at the strange letter combinations on the napkin and tried to keep up with Meng Li's explanation.
Meng Li added, "Not only that, but because this dictionary includes all possible English words, these words may also constitute all possible entries. Theoretically, the answers to all the unsolved mysteries in history, and everyone and everything in this world, can be found in this dictionary. These entries may further form all possible passages, from the first poorly-written composition by an English writer from just a corner of the world, to The Declaration of Independence, the English version of Dream of the Red Chamber, the complete works of Shakespeare, the Encyclopedia Britannica, all the English books collected in the US Library of Congress, and all of the great articles written by an unborn writer. All of this is inside of this dictionary."
At this, Meng Li changed his tone and smiled relaxingly. "Well, at this point, you should be able to understand that the content of this dictionary is infinite. It has a beginning, but no end. The number of the letters inside the dictionary is more than all the atoms in the universe, because the total number of atoms in the universe is limited, while the letters in the dictionary are infinite. This book can only stay in people's imagination, it can never appear in the real world. Even if you exhausted all the time and atoms in the universe, you wouldn't be able to finish writing this dictionary."
"My life is finite, but the book is infinite." Zhang Zian whispered to himself.
"What?"
Zhang Zian's voice was so low that Meng Li didn't hear him clearly.
"No, nothing." Zhang Zian waved his hand. "I'm just a bit shocked."
Meng Li nodded and picked up his cup of orange juice, "It's normal. The Hyperwebster is a thought experiment that few people know about except for those in the mathematics community. It is not as well-known as the Schrodinger's cat, which the public takes great pleasure in talking about. So, when you told me then that you were looking for a book about life, the universe, and everything, I immediately thought of the Hyperwebster. In fact, I was joking with you back then. Afterwards, I worried that I had committed a huge sin by misleading you to find the wrong book. By the way, what on earth was the book you wanted to find that day?"
Zhang Zian smiled. "It was actually a science fiction novel—the third installment of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy written by Douglas Adams, and the title of the book was called Life, the Universe, and Everything."
"I see," Meng Li realized. "I rarely read science fiction. No wonder I hadn't heard about it. What a shame!"

The English language usually contains 26 letters from A to Z, but sometimes & is included for a grand total of 27. There are over 750,000 words in the English language.

The shortest complete sentence is: "I am". 

The longest English word is Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. It is the name of a lung disease caused by inhaling ash and dust. This is main reason why I would never try to be a doctor. It just seems impossible to remember all these important terms. 

A ghost-word is a word that just exists. They have no real meaning and are just there. One example of this would be dord. 

The by far most unique word in the English language is I. It is the shortest, oldest, and most commonly used word.

Almost 4,000 new words are added to the dictionary each year.

There are some words that can be flipped upside-down and still be read as the original word. An example of this would be swims.

All pilots need to speak English. 

Girl was also used to describe a child. This could have been either a boy or girl.

11% of the English language is just the letter "E".

English sounds alot nicer/friendlier than other languages.

The child repeated his question several times, attempting to rephrase it as though he had not understood, while he considered how to answer. It had been difficult enough to explain ordinary sight to one who hadn't realized that he was partially blind. 
"The wise are individuals of various species who can see as dragons see with their true eyes. They can see the strings of the world, even if they cannot discern the finer patterns," he explained. "But even though we are all looking at the same things, we interpret what we see according to our own structure and experience. What a dragon sees as a string of light, one of the wise among the seafolk sees as a dark current, and the few wise among the mankind seem to see the strings as rivers."
"Then other species can also have true eyes?" the child asked doubtfully. "I have never seen anyone except you. Anne's eyes seem completely ordinary to me."
"I don't know for certain, but I have never seen another species with true eyes, although cats seem to have something similar. The wise among other species are usually blind to physical sight, because they do not have two kinds of vision." He couldn't tell if the child understood, but he nodded after a moment.

Anne tried to work up enough courage to leave the dubious safety of the bathroom. Passing out and letting herself be carried back to bed sounded easier. Now that she was aware of it, she could see the ripples that shivered the air even here, with a wall between her and whatever was out there.
Dragon. The word meant flying fire breathing lizard to her. Whatever was in the living room was nothing like her image of a dragon. But she did remember hearing somewhere that to other cultures dragons were revered like gods, and she thought they represented wisdom, or maybe thunderstorms.
The frightening voices… she still doesn't know how to describe the sound, but for some reason she couldn't help imagining that a fifty foot parakeet might sound similar. The image almost made her laugh, but really, it would be pretty frightening. Parakeets were vicious little birds in her limited experience. Somehow the sounds grew less frightening with the occasional english word thrown in. Language lessons. Seriously? 
When Chris knocked on the door, she jumped, but he only asked, "Are you doing okay?" When she didn't answer right away, he called out, "Excuse me, I'm coming in to check on you."
She didn't know why she jumped forward to push against the door as it started to open, but it made her head spin. "I'm okay," she insisted, even though she wasn't entirely certain that she was. She was going to add something like, 'I just need a few more minutes', but what came out of her mouth was, "Shouldn't a dragon at least have a scaly tail?"
The door thumped shut as she wavered, now that there was no resistance. She stared at it blankly. The low voices of house sized parakeets conferred for a moment on the other side of that small barrier. A moment later it sounded like someone was dragging the furniture around.
She opened the door to see Chris shoving the couch up against the wall, seemingly oblivious to the golden waves that rippled over and through him, making his whole form waver like a mirage. He turned and looked at her and then… he unfolded somehow and a sort of oriental looking dragon tottered on his hind feet in Chris's place.
Anne closed her eyes, but it didn't help, because it just made the waves coming from the golden sea that she didn't dare turn her focus toward more vibrant. She opened her eyes again to find the dragon holding itself steady with one paw on the couch beside it, and watching her with concern. The mirage-like waver hadn't lessened, but something big filled the rest of the room, blocking the view of the other walls.
She wasn't able to prevent her eyes from turning toward the source of the waves. Claws, scales, serpentine coils, and the glowing gold sea filled her vision. And then she met its open eyes, and they opened again.
--
Chris shifted back into his current human form and carried Anne back to her bed, while Amaru announced, "I will stay in this form. Keeping my own shape compressed takes much less 'energy' than holding the shape of 'a human'. What is the word for holding?"
She opened her eyes as he covered her up, and told him rather firmly, "I'm going to sleep for a while."
He could only smile as she shut her eyes and pulled the blankets up. And then opened them again and pushed the blankets down to sit up and empty the glass of water. He handed her the next doses of her medicines, and she took them silently.
"Don't laugh," she grumbled at him as she scooted back down and pulled the covers back up.
"I won't," he promised.
--
A few hours later, Chris began to wonder again whether or not he and Amaru were really the same species. The older dragon didn't seem to need the repetition that most humans needed. He'd thought that his own memory was quite good, and it was, compared to the average human, but he still forgot things that he didn't use, and he couldn't imagine simply memorizing a dictionary.
They were currently working their way through an old Webster's Dictionary, pulled from Mac's shelves, because Chris had run out of words off the top of his head. He knew a great many more words than he could simply list. Probably everyone knew the word imbued for example, but who would think to mention it before it was needed?
Chris read the next entry and the older dragon pointed out, "You spoke about the meaning of 'immediate' previously."
When they reached the word mediate, Amaru complained that the meaning of immediate did not match the addition of the im prefix to the word mediate.
"It sort of does," Chris tried to argue. "Mediate means in between, and immediate is without anything between? Kind of. I did already mention that English regularly breaks its own rules."
"You did," Amaru conceded.
--
Anne woke up to the sound of Chris reading a dictionary aloud in the other room. At least, that's the only reason she could think of for the string of words beginning with V and their definitions. She felt sorry for the dragon he was teaching. He could at least be using one of the learning apps that presented things in a somewhat reasonable order.
She considered the DRAGON for a moment. Okay, both of them were dragons, if she could believe her unreliable eyes. And her ears, she guessed, although when the other voice responded it didn't sound like a fifty foot parakeet.
"Venerable age, I shall use this term for myself when people ask," a man's voice announced.
The way he spoke sounded slightly old fashioned… like the way Chris spoke, she realized abruptly.
Suddenly she sat up with a jolt of fright, and wondered how long she'd really been asleep. Her head spun, and the sensation combined with the soft waves that rippled everything in her vision made her nauseous.
She threw up.
It was horrible.
The recitation of V words halted abruptly and Chris was beside her with an arm full of towels less than a full minute later. Or at least that's how quickly it felt.
"I need a shower," she said plaintively.
"You can have another bath after your stomach settles enough to keep a bit of fluid down," he assured her.
A bath. She was not going to sit in a tub with vomit floating it in. "A shower," she protested much more weakly than she meant to.
"We'll see," he prevaricated as he pushed a glass of water into her hands. "Spit into this towel," he instructed calmly. 
When she finished, he carried away the bundle of bedding and towels. Somehow he had already cleaned up the worst of the mess. She hadn't even managed to apologize. It was like he was used to taking care of sick people.
"Are you really a dragon?" she called out doubtfully.
A flood of golden waves spilled across everything as a head as wide as a man's body moved into the doorway. She couldn't focus on the face enough to make out any details except the eyes. Her back was pressed against the headboard with no more room to retreat.
"He is, I assure you," the dragon told her in the same voice that had declared that he was going to use venerable age to describe himself. His eyes regarded her curiously, but didn't do the horrible thing where they opened up to show the stars within the golden sea shining out of them directly. "As am I," it added the obvious calmly.
"Y'yeah," she agreed weakly. "I'm not wise," she blurted a moment later. The dragon blinked at her. "Before, I heard… I heard Chris ask you what you meant by 'one of the wise'."
"You can see the rivers of life, can you not?" the dragon asked curiously.
Her mouth opened, but she couldn't answer him. The rivers of life. The streams that danced behind her eyelids whenever she closed her eyes, with the unseen branches and sky reflecting in them. The waves that spilled off of the dragon, out of the bright golden sea that made him impossible to look at. Life? Yes.
She looked into the eyes of a dragon while her entire world spun. Chris pushed the large head out of his way and walked through the door. He looked completely human except for the way the ripples and waves prevented her from focusing on his features.
Anne croaked, "I'm not crazy." It wasn't a question.

Dragons Waking has been removed and being resubmitted to the Spring 2020 Competition. Sorry for the inconvenience.

she entered in the school and first day of school she is late.
she takes her step towards the classroom,
 in the voice of rainfall  and the smooth wind. 
her footsteps makes some noise in the water of floor. she entered in classroom with a timid voice and look for her old friend Lisa with her shy eyes she found her and some old classmates also. she takes her seat and set  gracefully .she is kinda cute not so pretty, ordinary but pretty than other classmates. all students watch her and chattering with others.she is too shy but fortunately she had some old friends there so it's a relief. Then after that day she takes her seat with Lisa both of them take each other as best friend ,in her dictionary best friend word only dedicated to one person and she refer Lisa as her best friend from eight years and so. she takes her as a best friend because she is her competitor in study and always takes first position beside this they are not so close. but she is too naive to understand friendship ,in her life she only know mumma, papa and elder sister as close person but in reality they are not so close .because she is not understand the meaning behind the word close person but in her life at that time she never feel to make someone close to her. she is just a naive child perfect in studies,obedient to parents and with timid personality,she is jang mee.
she make her friend circle of four girls .lisa ,jang mee and two twin sister Rachel and Rebeca they all hangout  together .all other girls jealous from them because they are perfect in everything. Lisa and jang mee are the toppers and Rebeca and Rachel good in sports. they are always stay happy together  but they all have no real goal or dream of life they just flow with the flow of time .jang mee always stay away from boys she is like have a phobia from boys .Rachel always tease jang mee but she is also protective towards jang mee. one year of school is passed with happiness and now
 a new guy take his entry...

"Ruoran is right. Money is the root of all evil!"
"'Wan' doesn't mean 'all.' If you don't understand, then refer to the Cihai Dictionary."
"Xiao Luo, let's see how you refute this time."
The female students who had a good relationship with Huang Ruoran jeered at Xiao Luo to express their hostility against him even as they applauded enthusiastically in support of Huang Ruoran.
Huang Ruoran looked at Xiao Luo quietly with eyes full of hostility.
Xiao Luo looked at her and chuckled, "No matter how you cut it, one apple can only be one apple after all. It may seem that Huang Ruoran has listed many "evils," but in fact, there is only one, and that is the greed for money. Is the desire for money the only type of evil? The answer is no.
If you say 'wan' doesn't mean 'all' or 'everything,' then I would like to ask, if I say that you 'must not (wan wan bu ke) agree with my position' today? Does that mean that you disagree most of the time, but occasionally, you may agree? The answer is of course not, so the word 'wan' here means 'all.' "
"F*ck me!"
Zhu Xiaofei couldn't help but spit out a swear word. The reason is that Xiao Luo's rebuttal was too convincing, even if someone wanted to be convinced by Huang Ruoran's assertion, it was impossible now. If Huang Ruoran's previous statement was compared to a violent storm, Xiao Luo's counterattack was like a rough and angry sea. The whole world was in a state of turmoil under these two waves of language power.
Everyone's ears perked up. They saw that it was not only Huang Ruoran who had a strong command of English and was highly eloquent but also Xiao Luo. The control the two of them had over spoken language was freaky.
Xiao Luo still kept a slight smile on his face. He continued, "Money cannot comprehensively cover all the evil in the world. According to anthropological research, the forms of evil fall into four categories. Three of them are wholly unrelated to money. Only one of them is greed.
I will not talk about greed for money now. I'll talk about the evil of extremist beliefs. In 1995, some cult members released sarin nerve gas at a Tokyo subway station, killing twelve people. More than 5,000 people were admitted to hospitals for treatment. Also, during the Crusades, it wasn't only adults who were harmed. Many innocent and unarmed women and children were burned alive even as they hid in churches.
These cases account for most of the deaths and injuries. Shouldn't this be included in the so-called 'all evil?'[ And if so, what does it have to do with money?
Wu Sangui let the Qing soldiers enter the pass. He did it for Chen Yuanyuan, not money. Some time ago, the news reported about an obsessed man who killed his girlfriend and dismembered her body into thirteen sections because she found a new love. Is the cause of this evil deed hatred in his heart or the loathing that already exists in him? Or perhaps it's because his girlfriend didn't give him a breakup fee?
Various examples show that money isn't the cause of all evil, so I don't think that money is the root of all evil. At least, it can't even compare to many other types of evil at all! "
The class gasped as they listened. This technique behind this rebuttal was compelling. It was a direct strike against Huang Ruoran's point of view.
Tutor Zhong Meili's eyes welled up with surprise. Her class had not been so lively in many years. Not only did the newly arrived Xiao Luo push her students to an unprecedented peak, but he also made her, as a tutor, excited. She never thought that a topic she had thrown out could actually trigger such a fierce verbal showdown.
At this time, Huang Ruoran spoke up. She met Xiao Luo's question head-on. "The first question you said is primarily a problem of evil cults. Asahara Shoko solely planned the poison-gas incident at the Tokyo subway station. He was the founder of Aum Shinrikyo. He sold one strand of his hair to his worshippers for 30,000 yen and a cup of bath water for 50,000 yen. He might not have said it, but whatever was going through his mind, wasn't it ultimately about money?
If Wu Sangui did what he had done for Chen Yuanyuan, why does he still want to be promoted to a high official position when he had already become the king of Yunnan and had Chen Yuanyuan in the palm of his hand after letting the Qing soldiers through the pass? Why could his mind still not relax? Why does he even want to be the emperor? It's always because of money.
The people of China compare extreme hatred as 'hating someone like they have killed your father and stolen your wife,' but now, some people who have no money can sell their wives, and when they have money, they can sell out their fathers. Is this still hatred? The greatest hatred is caused by money or the desire for money.
You previously said that 'must not' (wan wan bu ke) clearly states the meaning of 'all,' but you are mistaken. The word 'wan' in 'must not' (wan wan bu ke) is an adverb, and the 'wan' in 'root of all evil' (wan e zhi yuan) that we are speaking about today is an adjective. You use adverbs and adjectives as analogies. Isn't this incompatible and irrelevant?
Honoré de Balzac once said money squeezes through every crack to penetrate our society. It controls politics, the economy, and ethics. When everything is controlled by money, what path do we take?
So my viewpoint is the same as before, I think money is the root of all evil!"
The classroom fell silent again. Huang Ruoran and Xiao Luo were engaged in a battle of words. There was no gun smoke here, yet it was more intense than a battlefield. This showdown was bloodless.
The students held their breath and were shocked by the confrontation between Huang Ruoran and Xiao Luo. Every word was beautiful and forceful as it faced the assertion of the other party head-on. They used cases from foreign countries and quoted words of famous people, such a level of knowledge deeply moved their audience. The figures of Huang Ruoran and Xiao Luo now looked like two timeless mountains standing in front of them.
Xiao Luo smiled and said indifferently, "'Wan' is not only an adverb but also an adjective. What is a 'surefire strategy' (wan quan zhi ce) and is 'perfectly foolproof' (wan wu yi shi)? What is universal gravitation (wan you yin li) and 'intelligence of the universe' (wan wu zhi ling)? Doesn't this 'wan' mean all? Is it, could it, possibly refer to exceptions?
The Cihai Dictionary is authoritative, but aren't you quoting out of context and straying from the topic by just looking at the morpheme 'wan' and not the phrase, 'root of all evil' (wan e zhi yuan)? Also, everyone, ask yourself honestly, do humans not have an evil nature? Is everything induced by money? From where do man's greed and brutality originate?
If money is the root of all evil, why were this brutality and greed suddenly not termed as evil before money was invented? So, is it the greed and wicked thoughts in the hearts of humans that is the root of all evil, or is money the root of all evil? Do it still necessary for me to continue explaining? "
Everyone's soul was impacted by this one narrative.
This was undoubtedly a fatal blow. Yeah, would there be no evil if money had not been invented?
There was no way to explain, no way to refute. It was a totally hopeless situation!
Huang Ruoran couldn't speak for a while. Even for her, it was beyond her capability to refute Xiao Luo's statement. She just clenched her teeth and looked at Xiao Luo unhappily, unreconciled with this outcome.
It was now clear who won and who lost!
Everyone was really convinced by Xiao Luo, especially the final statement, which was simply devastating and crushing.
The girls who had ridiculed Xiao Luo before could not say a single word now. Xiao Luo's ability to organize a speech, his ability to rebut, and his command of English were first-rate. He was superb, yet here they were mocking him for speaking without thinking and for not knowing the limits of his abilities. They suddenly realized that they were actually playing the role of the savage, trouble-making villain who would never amount to anything!
They could not help but feel their faces getting hot, none of them dared to raise their heads and meet Xiao Luo's gaze.


Xiao Luo and his girlfriend had been in love with each other for four years when she proposed a break up. Because of this, Xiao Luo sped his car in the night and ended up in a car accident. But it was a blessing in disguise as he unexpectedly fused with a high tech system that originated from a universe hundreds of billions of light years away. From this moment on, the entire world started to run amok.....

Hao Ren spent most of the day at Raven 12345’s office. It was almost evening when he returned home. Just as he turned around the corner of the street, he saw Lily waiting there. She was standing on her toes at the door, looking towards Hao Ren’s direction. She looked like a puppy that was left alone at home by its owner. Hao Ren had already gotten used to this scene.

When Lily saw Hao Ren, she quickly ran up to him excitedly and asked, "Landlord, landlord, you’re finally back. What are we eating tonight?"

"Will you have some dignity as a werewolf, please?" Hao Ren sighed and passed a bag of food to Lily. "It’s the big ribs you love. We need to cook them in a stew first tonight. Then you’ll have rib noodles by noon tomorrow."

After half a month of getting along, Hao Ren had completely mastered Lily's temperament. The werewolf’s preference was easy to guess. She was happy as long as she got to eat delicious food. Two of her favorite dishes were stewed ribs made by Vivian and noodles made by Hao Ren. Well, it was easy to understand why she loved ribs. They are meat but, noodles? Do werewolves even eat noodles?

No one could figure out how Lily turned into an omnivore. It was a good thing anyway. It was easier to keep omnivorous animals. If Lily needed to eat 20 kilograms of fresh meat every day like normal werewolves, the butcher would have probably not been able to cope even if Hao Ren could have afforded it...

Lily carried the ribs and happily ran back to the house to look for Vivian. Lily would only say something nice to Vivian for food. Where was her pride as a werewolf?

Hao Ren was speechless as he watched Lily follow Vivian into the kitchen. After locking the door, he turned around and saw a huge man sitting in the middle of the living room. The giant, Y’zaks was too obvious to ignore. With his height of 2.15 meters, he would have definitely attracted many unwanted attention no matter where he went. Not to mention that anti-social and demonic look of his. It was a big problem taking him out. Hao Ren went to market to buy some food with Y’zaks two days ago. However, not long after they left the house, an old lady had already called the police... So, you see…

Y’zaks did not notice that Hao Ren was back. He was sitting on the sofa, studying a Chinese dictionary attentively. The dictionary looked like a booklet in his hands. He could only pinch it with a few fingers to keep it in his hands. Looking at the serious look on his big and fierce face, Hao Ren found it really funny. Why was a good-tempered man born with such a fierce face?
"How’s it going?" Hao Ren was curious. He moved closer to Y’zaks and took a look at what he was holding. Hao Ren found that the demon actually jotted down some crooked symbols in the dictionary, which looked like demon text. Hao Ren was moved by the demon’s hardworking spirit but, also a little embarrassed at himself. The dictionary had been abandoned in his home for more than four years. He could not compare with Y’zaks in terms of hard work… 

"Oh, you’re back," Y’zaks looked at Hao Ren as he spoke  in a low, muffled voice. Demon language sounded like a tape being played backwards. It had strange pronunciation and a vague tone. It was hard to discern and came up just behind Japanese English. Vivian and Lily did not learn a word during the past two days so, Hao Ren became the only one in the family who could communicate normally with Y’zaks. The giant demon knew that was the case too hence, he was happy to see Hao Ren. "Finally, I can chat with someone. Is everything okay? "

"Things are pretty good. Raven 12345 explained and cleared the confusion. How’s your learning progress been these two days? "

"Chinese is so difficult." Y’zaks lost his spirit and threw the dictionary away. The giant demon could not seem to handle it. "I think it’s more difficult than Elvish. I can’t figure out these four words: pits, holes, caves and tiny holes even after learning them for two days. How exactly did you learn this language?"

This made Hao Ren sweat. "These four words are difficult enough to stop 80% of students from coming to China. Forget about them. I wanted to tell you that Raven 12345 has applied for something new from her superiors. It’ll be able to help you solve your language problem. I’ll bring you to meet her along with Vivian and Lily in two days. All of you need to do is undergo a 'small surgery', and then you’ll have a translation package in your head."

Hao Ren observed Y’zaks’ expression and wanted to see how the giant demon reacted to the ‘small surgery’. He had impression that not many boss-leveled creatures were willing to let others touch them. However, Hao Ren was disappointed to see nothing from Y’zaks’ face. He just nodded and said, "Oh yes, I should meet the Goddess to say hello too."
"Then, you have to be mentally prepared," Hao Ren kindly reminded. "Don’t get angry when she wants you to lie down inside strange things..."

"I know what you mean." Y’zaks had a scary grin. "Something that looks like a coffin right?" Most of the coffins in the world look the same and most equipment made by the Xi Ling Celestials look like coffins as well. I’ve tried it before…"

Hao Ren was lost  for words.

"Dinner’s ready!"  　　

As Hao Ren and Y’zaks were discussing the inspiration behind the coffin-like equipment in the Xi Ling Empire, Vivian's voice suddenly rang from the kitchen, pulling the two of men out of their gossip session.

Vivian carried an electric cooker and walked to the living room, followed by Lily who was wagging her tail happily. They were also followed by an arrogant-looking Rollie. The three of them looked proud of themselves. Before Hao Ren and Y’zaks sat down, Vivian pointed towards the direction of the kitchen and commanded, "Wash your hands!"

Y’zaks could not understand what Vivian said but he got the meaning from her hand gestures and direction of her finger. So, the big demon stood up and obediently ran to the kitchen to wash his hands, leaving Hao Ren amazed in the back. 　　

Vivian would have a domineering vibe right after she finished the housework. She was not scared of the demon and dared to shout at him. Hao Ren thought that the vampire had probably figured out how to be a housewife. Well, it was good.

The evening meal was light and simple. It included rice, porridge, steamed bread and two vegetable dishes. This was quite enough for them and the portion was big enough to fill Lily and Y’zaks’ big appetite. Vivian's cooking skills were unquestionable. As an ancient creature who had been wandering the world for centuries, she was familiar with all kinds of cooking methods on the planet. She even knew how to roast a saber-toothed tiger. If not because of its extinction, Hao Ren believed his daily meals would have be abundantly unprecedented. 

Lily inserted her chopsticks into two steamed buns and chewed them quickly like eating candied haws on a stick. She scrunched up her nose and looked towards the kitchen. As she gnawed on the buns, she said, "I want to eat the ribs..."

"It’s still cooking." Vivian was probably still in housewife mode. She spoke to Lily in a relaxed tone. "It has to cook in the stew for at least three hours. I have my own principles when it comes to rib stew."

Hao Ren rolled his eyes and thought, "Can she apply principles in the right place?"

Everyone was busy eating. While Hao Ren was about to look for the remote control to turn on the TV, a sudden crack broke the calm atmosphere in the living room.
It was Lily. She was holding a small plate in her hands. She had wanted to take more food but, the small plate was squeezed into pieces and the ceramic scattered all over  the table.

Hao Ren was stunned whereas Vivian shouted at her. "Doggie, can’t you have a little patience? You just had to wait and eat the meat tomorrow. Was it necessary to get angry over it? It’s Landlord’s bowl! "

"No… I didn't mean to!" Lily was frightened as well. She quickly cleaned up the broken dish on the table as she nervously glanced at Hao Ren. "Landlord, I didn't mean it. I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I can’t  control myself all of a sudden…" 

Then, there was another crack.

Before Lily could finish her sentence, she crushed a bowl in her hand again.

Just as Vivian was about to scold Lily, Hao Ren realized that Lily was not behaving normally. He quickly waved his hand to stop Vivian and said, "Something isn’t right. Look at Lily's eyes."

Lily was in her werewolf. She was usually in human form when at home. For no reason she had transformed into a werewolf and her golden eyes appeared brighter than usual. Her eyes were so bright that they were slightly glowing!

"Lily... your hands seem to be shaking." Hao Ren finally saw Lily's hands. He sensed that something bad was about to happen."



As a person who is down-to-earth as well as a good Samaritan, Hao Ren desires to live the rest of his life as a benevolent landlord. Stumbling into a curious yet mysterious lady, he began his journey of “collecting” abnormal and supernatural tenants. 
His life only became more chaotic when he receives a labor contract from “God”. Discover the many races, myths and worlds that lie beyond what humans define as normal! This bizzare fantasy full of fun is sure to bring you on a crazy rollercoaster of emotions!

For a moment, the hall was completely silent.
It was probably because Yan Jun's temper had improved a lot recently, causing many people to forget that he was the famous cold-faced King of Hell in Rao city.
As for why he was given the title of King of Hell, other than the coincidence of his own surname, his swift and decisive methods, cold-blooded and ruthless methods, had also become a lot of matching colors!
A mere mistress who couldn't be put on the table dared to slander the woman he loved and his yet-to-be-born child in front of him? ! !
He was simply courting death!
Xia Jinqi was also shocked for a moment, and hurriedly raised her eyes to look at him.
A chilling light that could shake one's soul seeped out from his black eyes, and a baleful aura spread out from his tall body. He was like the white snow in the dead of winter, freezing the air around him until it cracked inch by inch!
Just by sitting by his side like this, Xia Jinqi could already feel a bone-piercing coldness and baleful aura, not to mention Zhou Lingfang, who was being looked at directly by him!
She swayed her body, and the light in her eyes faded. Her three souls had all been scared away!
How could a mortal body compete with the King of Hell?
Yan Qing hurriedly stood up to support her. Only then did he manage to stabilize her body so that she would not fall miserably.
At the same time, Yan Qing glared at Yan Jun and shouted, "Yan Jun! Don't go too far! My mother is your elder after all! "
Because of these words, Yan Jun turned his head. The ten-thousand-year-old cold pond was not as dark and bone-chilling as his eyes at this moment. He looked coldly at Yan Qing and said, "you should know my methods. "
This extremely sinister sentence was so powerful that it echoed endlessly in this huge dining room.
Yan Qing's eyes suddenly trembled and he clenched his teeth slightly.
This was a warning to the mother and son... ...
The situation had once gone out of control. Yan Youcheng, who had not spoken a word, finally coughed heavily and reprimanded Yan Jun, "Jun' ER! "
Even though it was just a simple name, the suppressed meaning in his tone was very obvious.
He was protecting Zhou Lingfang!
As for Yan Jun... ...
He had come here today and had eaten this meal. His filial piety was enough!
In his dictionary, there had never been the word 'compromise' !
Yan Jun coldly looked back at Yan Youcheng. Yan Jun's eyes were gloomy, and his thin lips were slightly lifted. Every word was piercing to the bone. "control your woman well. "
With that, he turned around and embraced Xia Jinqi. His slender steps opened up, and the familiar outline was blurred under the light of the Crystal Chandelier. His pure white lapels fluttered wantonly, and the distant shadow of the mountains disappeared. For a moment, the sun and moon lost their light, and the world lost its color... ...
Xia Jinqi was a little stunned as she watched... ...
Her legs left with him completely out of control. It was as if even if he was about to go into a mountain of knives and a sea of fire, she was willing to follow him like this and never look back! ! !
The remaining people in the hall were petrified!
Yan Youcheng's face had already turned the color of a pig's liver!
Everything that happened tonight was still vivid in his mind!
It was already not easy for his originally cold-hearted grandson to be willing to come back and celebrate his birthday. He even agreed to stay and eat with Zhou Lingfang at the same table. As a grandfather, he had seen all of these changes.
If it wasn't for Zhou Lingfang's words that were really annoying, Jun'er wouldn't have suddenly slammed the table and left!
Thinking of this, Yan Youcheng looked at Zhou Lingfang coldly again and scolded loudly, "look at what you've done! I shouldn't have let you come back! "
After saying that, he tore off the Napkin on his leg and left angrily with his hands behind his back.
Zhou Lingfang's legs were already very weak from the fright. Now that she was scolded in public by Yan Youcheng, she couldn't help but redden her eyes. She gritted her teeth tightly and didn't say another word.

After marriage, his little wife openly stared at other men at the ball!
It seems that the family is not strict, directly take home a good education!


Kong Xiuru thought of herself as a genius in learning foreign languages. Her memory had always been good and she had her own methods of remembering words. In her daily teaching process, she would pass down some of them to her students.
However, Kong Xiuru only realized now that her memory wasn't even worth trash as compared to Ling Yun's!
Once! Just once! He had learned it after just taking one look. She heard that he had no problem reading or writing it. Is… is he even human?
Can 'genius' still be used to describe him?
If he… if he has such a terrifying memorizing ability, why did he have to wait until the college entrance exams to exhibit it?!
Why was he so low-profile before?
Kong Xiuru didn't quite dare to believe that Ling Yun had really memorized over a thousand words so quickly. She took out the Grade 10 English textbook and started picking out some of the more difficult words for Ling Yun to read.
This time, she wasn't searching from the word lists behind the texts. Instead, Kong Xiuru was randomly selecting from within the texts.
In truth, Ling Yun wasn't just able to read the words out very well, he could even explain their meaning at will and easily write the words on paper.
Kong Xiuru tried seventeen words consecutively but each time was the same. There was no exception!
Kong Xiuru couldn't believe it at first. She had gotten Ling Yun to translate the English words to Chinese, as well as read and write them. Now, she was closing the textbook and she was describing the meaning of English words using Chinese and getting Ling Yun to translate it to English. On top of that, he even had to write and read those English words.
Then, she believed it! Whenever she said a Chinese word, Ling Yun would immediately translate it to English. Moreover, as he read the word, he would casually write that word on paper as well.
In one go, he had translated twenty to thirty words and they were all correct. Not one of them was wrong and he had not hesitated on a single one of them.
Kong Xiuru was dumbfounded. She felt as if she couldn't stand properly. She stopped getting Ling Yun to stay in the study room. Instead, she got him to come out and sit on the sofa.
Then, she closely scanned Ling Yun to the point that Ling Yun was a little scared. Was my performance too nature-defying?
Kong Xiuru knew that Ling Yun's learning of English was no longer limited to this half an hour of remedial. If he were to be given a day to memorize all the English words from the senior high school to university syllabuses, it wouldn't be a problem at all!
If that were the case, she could teach him some grammar on top of that and get him to memorize the senior high and even university level English texts. College entrance exams? Even taking the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) straight away wouldn't be a problem!
"Ling Yun, you're incredible!" Kong Xiuru suddenly burst out exclaiming.
And what came after shock? Adoration. Sincere shock would produce sincere adoration!
Even if Kong Xiuru was even more anti-men or even more indifferent towards men, she was still a woman in the end. Moreover, she was a virgin.
Ling Yun chuckled. "I'm just alright. It's mainly because Teacher teaches well. Otherwise, I wouldn't learn so quickly!"
Kong Xiuru blushed as she said in her heart. Your memory is so terrifying. What does that have to do with the English basics I've taught you? However, she still felt sweet and cheery on the inside. She felt proud that Ling Yun had been able to grasp the language so quickly.
"Ling Yun, Teacher will teach you a few commonly used sentence structures later. For example, sentence structures for things that have happened and things that are happening. Once you learn these, you will be able to completely learn English by yourself. As for listening, as long as you listen to some recordings, Teacher believes that your listening definitely won't be a problem."
Ling Yun thought to himself. Listening? That's the last thing I'm worried about. Within a thirty meter radius, if any wind blows or any grass moves, I would be able to hear it clearly.
"English, plainly said, is just about memorizing words. What kind of grades you get will depend completely on how many words you've grasped. Your teacher has one request for you."
Kong Xiuru was thinking as she spoke. She was guiding Ling Yun patiently and systematically.
"Hehe. Teacher, you can say whatever request you have. As long as it is within my ability, it definitely won't be a problem."
Ling Yun laughed as he spoke leisurely.
Kong Xiuru looked at the student who seemed to be the most talented one she had taught in her six years of teaching. Her heart was filled with emotions. She said softly, "Ling Yun, with your memory, memorizing five thousand words in two days would not be a problem at all. Your Teacher wants you to memorize all the English words in the senior high and university syllabuses."
Ling Yun pondered for a moment. He had memorized over a thousand words in half an hour. Memorizing five thousand in two days wouldn't be a problem, would it? Hence, he smiled brightly and said, "No problem. But I don't have the university textbook, Teacher!"
Kong Xiuru laughed softly. "Don't worry about that. Your Teacher has it at home!"
But then, she suddenly laughed mischievously. "If you really have a photographic memory, would you dare to memorize the Oxford English Dictionary?"
Lin Yun started perspiring madly. My beautiful form teacher, are you playing with me? Ling Yun had seen how thick that Oxford English Dictionary on Cao Shanshan's table was. Memorize that? Even if he had that kind of memory, he didn't have the kind of effort needed. Even if he had the kind of effort needed, he wasn't in the kind of mood to do it!
As for patience, Ling Yun, who practiced cultivation, had plenty of it. But what was the point of memorizing something useless?
Seeing that Ling Yun had no response, Kong Xiuru knew that her request was overboard. She couldn't help but look down on herself for a moment. Then, she said, "If you can do as Teacher has requested for the next two months, Teacher believes that you will be able to score full marks on your English college entrance exam."
Ling Yun had that self-belief too. Now, he already knew the phonetic alphabets. English words were not an obstacle anymore. He would first memorize all the English words, then memorize things like history texts and all of the senior high English texts. As for grammar or whatnot, even if he didn't understand it now, he would understand it by the end!
If one becomes familiar with the Three Hundred Tang Poems, even if he or she doesn't know poetry, he or she would be able to recite poetry. That was the logic Ling Yun had.
Lin Yun laughed gently. "Please do not worry, Teacher. I'll do as you've requested."
Kong Xiuru looked at Ling Yun with her bright eyes. For an instant, she lost herself in a trance. Then, she quickly regained her senses and said, "The fourth self-study period has started. This period, Teacher shall teach you grammar and sentence structures."
Ten minutes before the end of the fourth self-study period.
Kong Xiuru nodded at Ling Yun contently. She said gently, "Alright, let's end our remedial lesson here tonight. Your foundation of English is complete now… You've pretty much grasped it. After a few more remedial lessons, Teacher believes that your grades will soar."
Actually, in less than two periods, Kong Xiuru already realized that Ling Yun had grasped eighty percent of the senior high English knowledge.
Learning English grammar and sentence structures not only requires memory but also requires comprehension. And Ling Yun's ability to comprehend was not far behind his ability to memorize.
Regarding the basics of English, there really wasn't much more that Kong Xiuru could teach Ling Yun.
Going forward, Ling Yun would just have to memorize words and texts, and also do several college entrance mock exam papers and he would be fine. But for some reason, Kong Xiuru actually still wanted Ling Yun to come to her place for remedial lessons.
Hence, she had immediately changed her words on the spot. From saying that Ling Yun had completely grasped it, she said that he had pretty much grasped it. Then, she told him to come for a few more lessons.
Ling Yun remained silent and calm. He was very focused and serious when it came to studying. His body diffused a clear and refreshing smell. Kong Xiuru quite liked the feeling of being with this genius student.
Ling Yun stood up. "Thank you, Teacher. I will work hard. I shall go back to the classroom now. Goodbye, Teacher!"
Kong Xiuru smiled and said, "What are you saying goodbye for? Your Teacher still has to go back to the classroom to collect the test papers. Let's go together!"
"Oh…" Ling Yun was speechless. In his heart, he had been planning to run off right after leaving Kong Xiuru's place. He hadn't expected that Kong Xiuru would still go back to the classroom.
Ling Yun had a chance of breaking into the Fourth Level of the Physique Tempering Stage today. Hence, he couldn't wait to go to the river bank.
Kong Xiuru locked the door and entered the elevator with Ling Yun. The two of them left the teaching and administrative staff dormitories and walked side-by-side towards Grade 12 Class 6.
"Ling Yun, I heard from Cao Shanshan that you've caught up in your mathematics as well."
Kong Xiuru inquired as they walked.
Ling Yun answered casually, "I'm doing alright."
"In the future, try not to be absent. Learn more things. Your Teacher has high hopes for you now. You might even make it into Yan Jing University. That's the best educational establishment in China."
Ling Yun thought to himself. Yan Jing University? I've already promised Ning Lingyu that long ago! But he still laughed gently and replied, "I'll try."
"Mmm. It's good to have confidence. The lesson is ending soon. Let's hurry to the classroom." Kong Xiuru couldn't resist patting Ling Yun gently on the shoulder.
The two of them returned to the classroom. Ling Yun had only just sat back at his seat when the bell rang for the fourth period of night self-study.
Ling Yun immediately stood up as if there was a fire under his a*s. He casually tossed his textbooks on the table and prepared to leave the classroom.
Cao Shanshan's face was blushing as she looked at Ling Yun and said, "Ling Yun… Can… can you send me home…?"
Ling Yun looked at Cao Shanshan in surprise as he thought. Why do you want me to send you home at such a time?
However, since they had become table mates, Cao Shanshan had helped Ling Yun a great deal. Ling Yun really couldn't just reject her.
He could only go back to his seat as he looked at Cao Shanshan thoughtfully. "I really have a very important thing to do tonight? Can we do this another day?"
Cao Shanshan had spontaneously requested Ling Yun to send her home and it had already taken a great deal of courage. Although Ling Yun was rejecting her now, seeing that Ling Yun had come back to his seat just for her and that he was using a negotiating tone, she felt delightful.
"Mmm… Since you have an important thing, we'll do this another day then. I… I'll wait for you!" Cao Shanshan fiddled with her fountain pen as she said shyly.
"Alright then, I'll go now!" After saying that, Ling Yun flashed Cao Shanshan a bright smile before standing up and hinting to Cao Shanshan to make way for him.
Cao Shanshan's heart melted as she giggled and stood up shyly. She left her seat and moved aside for Ling Yun to go out.
Cao Shanshan watched Ling Yun's back view as he left. Then, she muttered to herself, "Finding back something that you've thrown away is really hard…"
After leaving the classroom, Ling Yun dashed to the school field. He put on an act and leisurely ran half a round before entering a shady area. Then, he leaped over the school's fences and activated the Thousand Miles Godly Steps, dashing straight toward the river bank.
"My precious Shichiyou herb, Big Brother has missed you to death!" Ling Yun had already undergone two nights of physique tempering without the help of the Shichiyou herb. Naturally, his heart was burning with eagerness.
Within two minutes, Ling Yun had reached the opposite bank of the Shichiyou herb. Then, he saw that, beside the Shichiyou herb, was a snow-white arctic fox!


Lingyun's tribulation has failed and he has descended onto Earth in the degenerate age. Step by step, he will rise up against the natural order!

China (Chinese: 中国; pinyin: Zhōngguó; literally: 'Central State' or 'Middle Kingdom'), officially the People's Republic of China (PRC), is a country in East Asia and the world's most populous country, with a population of around 1.428 billion in 2017.[12][13] Covering approximately 9,600,000 square kilometers (3,700,000 sq mi), it is the third or fourth largest country by total area.[j][19] Governed by the Communist Party of China, the state exercises jurisdiction over 22 provinces[k], five autonomous regions, four direct-controlled municipalities (Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, and Chongqing), and the special administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macau.

China emerged as one of the world's first civilizations, in the fertile basin of the Yellow River in the North China Plain. For millennia, China's political system was based on hereditary monarchies, or dynasties, beginning with the semi-mythical Xia dynasty in 21st century BCE.[20] Since then, China has expanded, fractured, and re-unified numerous times. In the 3rd century BCE, the Qin reunited core China and established the first Chinese empire. The succeeding Han dynasty, which ruled from 206 BCE until 220 CE, saw some of the most advanced technology at that time, including papermaking and the compass,[21] along with agricultural and medical improvements. The invention of gunpowder and movable type in the Tang dynasty (618–907) and Northern Song (960–1127) completed the Four Great Inventions. Tang culture spread widely in Asia, as the new Silk Route brought traders to as far as Mesopotamia and the Horn of Africa.[22] Dynastic rule ended in 1912 with the Xinhai Revolution, when the Republic of China (ROC) replaced the Qing dynasty. China as a whole was ravaged by feudal warlordism and Japan during World War II. The subsequent Chinese Civil War resulted in a division of territory in 1949, when the Communist Party of China led by Mao Zedong established the People's Republic of China on mainland China, while the Kuomintang-led nationalist government retreated to the island of Taiwan, where it continues to govern the Republic of China. The political status of Taiwan remains disputed to this day.

China is a unitary one-party socialist republic and is one of the few remaining Communist states. Political dissidents and human rights groups have denounced and criticized the Chinese government for human rights abuses, suppression of religious and ethnic minorities,[23][24][25] censorship and mass surveillance, and cracking down on protests such as in 1989.[26][27][28] The Chinese government says that the right to subsistence and economic development is a prerequisite to other types of human rights, and that the notion of human rights should take into account a country's present economic level.[29]

Since the introduction of economic reforms in 1978, China's economy has been one of the world's fastest-growing with annual growth rates consistently above 6 percent.[30] According to the World Bank, China's GDP grew from $150 billion in 1978 to $12.24 trillion by 2017.[31] According to official data, China's GDP in 2018 was 90 trillion Yuan ($13.28 trillion).[32] Since 2010, China has been the world's second-largest economy by nominal GDP,[33] and since 2014, the largest economy in the world by purchasing power parity.[34] China is also the world's largest exporter and second-largest importer of goods.[35] China is a recognized nuclear weapons state and has the world's largest standing army, the People's Liberation Army, and second-largest defense budget.[36][37] The PRC is a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council as it replaced the ROC in 1971, as well as an active global partner of ASEAN Plus mechanism. China is also a leading member of numerous formal and informal multilateral organizations, including the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), WTO, APEC, BRICS, the BCIM, and the G20. China is one of the world's most technologically advanced nations and is home to some of the world's largest tech giants such as Huawei, Tencent, and Alibaba.[38][39] Since 2019, China has the highest number of rich people in the world.[40] China has been characterized as a potential superpower, mainly because of its massive population, economy, and military.[41][42][43]

Names

The word "China" has been used in English since the 16th century. It is not a word used by the Chinese themselves. It has been traced through Portuguese, Malay, and Persian back to the Sanskrit word Cīna, used in ancient India.[45]

"China" appears in Richard Eden's 1555 translation[l] of the 1516 journal of the Portuguese explorer Duarte Barbosa.[m][45] Barbosa's usage was derived from Persian Chīn (چین), which was in turn derived from Sanskrit Cīna (चीन).[50] Cīna was first used in early Hindu scripture, including the Mahābhārata (5th century bce) and the Laws of Manu (2nd century bce).[51] In 1655, Martino Martini suggested that the word China is derived ultimately from the name of the Qin dynasty (221–206 BCE).[52] Although this derivation is still given in various sources,[53] it is complicated by the fact that the Sanskrit word appears in pre-Qin literature. The word may have originally referred to a state such as Yelang. Later, the meaning transferred to China as a whole.[51][54] The origin of the Sanskrit word is still a matter of debate, according to the Oxford English Dictionary.[45]

The official name of the modern state is the "People's Republic of China" (Chinese: 中华人民共和国; pinyin: Zhōnghuá Rénmín Gònghéguó). The shorter form is "China" Zhōngguó (中国), from zhōng ("central") and guó ("state"),[n] a term which developed under the Western Zhou dynasty in reference to its royal demesne.[o] It was then applied to the area around Luoyi (present-day Luoyang) during the Eastern Zhou and then to China's Central Plain before being used as an occasional synonym for the state under the Qing.[56] It was often used as a cultural concept to distinguish the Huaxia people from perceived "barbarians".[56] The name Zhongguo is also translated as "Middle Kingdom" in English.[58]
