Chlorophane image edit

On Nov. 23, 2018, you added the image, Fluorite, var. Chlorophane.jpg, to the chlorophane article. The image in a double image and I assume the left is under daylight and the right is under UV lighting from the image page. Could you add a bit to the image caption regarding the light source of the two? Thanks, Vsmith (talk) 02:02, 23 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Thank you very much. I'd mistakenly switched the image for Thermolumine.png, which is now corrected. Any other suggestions or corrections would be welcome. Keahapana (talk) 02:00, 24 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Medicinal mushrooms, anyone? edit

 
Dish with Magu, deity of longevity, China, Jingdezhen, Jiangxi province, Qing dynasty, approx. 1700-1800 AD, porcelain with overglaze polychrome.

Keahapana, thank you. Dcattell (talk) 06:50, 18 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Love this image, and just added it into Magu. Mmm-magu tasty, three 'shrooms with an herbal garnish. What do you think? Red A. muscaria, brown G. lucidum, and what's the purple one? Keahapana (talk) 22:26, 19 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

夜光杯 edit

"Luminous gemstones" looking good! The poets and wine-drinkers seem to have made use of them, as "night luminescing cups". Wang Han is a well-known example. Dcattell (talk) 18:00, 19 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Thanks, I started an article on luminous pearls but found so much material that I offloaded the luminous gemstones. Started Marquis of Sui's pearl and now revising (obscurely named) He Shi Bi. Keahapana (talk) 22:26, 19 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Also edit

"Indra's net" article is worth looking at, in the context of luminous gemstones. Dcattell (talk) 18:36, 19 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Good idea, linked under See also. Keahapana (talk) 22:26, 19 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Wonderful smile edit

 
"Eating rice, China"

Here's a Commons image that I came across looking up Duchenne smile. From Berthold Laufer's Jacob Schiff China expedition (1901-1904). Best wishes, Keahapana (talk) 22:45, 19 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

"Mr. He's jade" edit

I like the information on Tai'e or Tai'a (太阿), however it is unclear to me why it is included here, per the text. Best, Dcattell (talk) 20:12, 12 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

Thanks. The Shiji and Chuci quotes mention it with He's jade. Did you get my email reply through WP? Keahapana (talk) 23:30, 15 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
Yes, I did get the email. Thanks! The reason I was asking about the Taia sword is mostly because I have been contributing some to an article Weapons and armor in Chinese mythology, which has some general sections on various weapons and armor. Cheers! Dcattell (talk) 15:39, 16 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
This article is an excellent start. Good work! These zh cats might be of use
