"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. — LlywelynII 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:

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. — LlywelynII 08:07, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
