せいりげんしょう

physiological phenomenon; physiological response

普段の生活の中で、「あくび」や「くしゃみ」、「げっぷ」や「おなら」などの生理現象は必ず起こってしまうのですが、これらの英語って学校では勉強しませんでしたよね。

ふだん の せいかつ の なか で、「あくび」や「くしゃみ」、「げっぷ」や「おなら」など の せいりげんしょう は かならず おこって しまう の です が、これら の えいご って がっこう では べんきょう しません でした よね。

In our daily lives, physiological phenomena, such as "yawning" or "sneezing," "burping" or "passing gas," are bound to occur, yet, we never actually learned the English terms for these things in school, did we?

So here's the stack of my new study materials and y'all... kanji in context is arguably the best reference book for kanji I've come across in my life. I cannot praise it highly enough.

It's designed to be gone through three times. The first time is learning the kanji and the readings for the vocabulary in red. The second time is for review and all the unmarked black words. The third time is for mastery and the unusual, difficult, or obsolete words marked by diamonds. I love it a lot.

The workbook might be the true gem though. That's where the "in context" part comes from. You get practice and a bunch of example sentences actually using the vocabulary. Two words really similar in meaning that you can't tell the usage apart? No problem here. You'll get to see how it's actually used and, by extension, continue building and reinforcing your vocabulary.

真桑[Maguwa] Morus alba

紫色に熟した桑の實が、どんなに私たち野の子供の味覺をたのしませて吳れた事だらう？ 竹筒をこしらへて、その中に一ぱいの桑の實を入れて、それを棒でつゝいて汁をこしらへて吸つたものだが、それでもよく腹を痛めるので母からは堅く禁められてゐた。禁を破つた證據を脣の色で抑へられて、さん／"＼に叱られたのも今は懷しい思ひ出の一つである。

Kin wo yabutta shōko wo kuchibiru no iro de osae rarete, san-zan ni shikarareta nomo ima wa natsukashii omoide no hitotsu dearu.]

How much those purple, ripe Kuwa no mi(mulberry) delighted the palates of us, kids in the field. I(we) would make a bamboo tube, fill it with plenty of Kuwa no mi, and use a stick to poke them, sipping the juice that came out, but this often gave me a stomachache, so my mother strictly forbade it. And yet I broke this prohibition and sipped it, and the juice would stain my lips. Then, I was scolded severely as proof of that, but even that is now one of my fond memories.

How did people make windows translucent in eras without glass or when it was prohibitively expensive by Lu Lei 鲁磊

Seashell windows (especially using "sea moon shells海月贝") were not common in ancient China. They were mostly found in coastal areas like Fujian and Guangdong, where shells were abundant. Ordinary people used paper windows, while seashell windows -due to their complex craftsmanship and scarcity -were mostly used in palaces, temples, or wealthy homes. However, seashell windows had drawbacks: poorer transparency than paper windows; fragile and hard to maintain; could not be opened or closed easily, often fixed as decorative panels rather than functional windows.

Most ancient windows were made of sturdy paper (like mulberry bark or cotton paper), treated with tung oil or rice paste to resist wind and moisture. Multiple layers of paper improved insulation, reducing cold air from entering.

Though thin, paper windows allowed light in while wooden frames provided some insulation. Traditional buildings also used smart designs to stay warm: facing south to maximize sunlight; overhanging eaves to block summer heat but let in winter sun; double-layered windows (e.g., "lift-and-hang windows") -outer paper layer for windproofing, inner wooden shutters or curtains for extra insulation at night.
