Haha, hanconv.
Only cause I can't read those

[Tetra]

Does anyone here do any 舞劍 or any other styles?

[Tetra]

No idea, but the first two characters are different

[NAN]

舞剑？ First character means Dance. Second one means Sword. So I think it means "Sword Dance." I believe it is a form of Kung Fu.

[Tetra]

Yep. There are plenty of videos on it, but I was wondering if anyone practices it

the first two characters are the same?...they look different on my screen

what does all that mean anyway?

Different characters can have the same pronunciation.

I don't know about others, but the characters you posted don't make any sense to me, they pretty much look like gibberish. Sometimes the computer converts foreign characters into Chinese-looking characters, but that doesn't mean those words are Chinese or that they have a particular meaning.

Shouldn't it be 剣舞 though? We were reading old Chinese(漢文) in my classical Japanese(古典) class the other day and it was definately 剣舞

From my 古典 textbook:

鴻門之会 by 司馬遷

寿畢請以剣舞、因激沛公於坐殺之。

畢日、「君王与沛公飲。軍中無以為楽。請以剣舞。」頂王日「諾」

良日、「甚急。今者荘抜剣舞。其意常在沛公也。」

樟 camphor tree
獐 roebuck, hornless river deer
乳 breast, nipples; milk, suckle
逡 retreat, withdraw, fall back
紆 bend, turn, twist; distort
逸 flee, escape, break loose

hehehehe

omgz how did u no!!1!!

hehe it was a joke..since translating the meanings of characters which make up people's names can not make sense sometimes

No kidding (not as in no kidding around).

[MUXU]

my grandma knows how to sword dance..she knows all those dances and tai chi etc etc..

or am i really behind and should shut up

[Tetra]

Taichi seems interesting.
So does qi gong.

Shouldn't it be 剣舞 though? We were reading old Chinese(漢文) in my classical Japanese(古典) class the other day and it was definately 剣舞

Nah, it's 舞劍
Same with 舞刀

I read some old chinese poetry in my...uhh...chinese class too o_O

[hun_wun_gal]

"Qi gong"? i thought that was kinda like Tai Chi as in we use "Qi" and all that......

the only chinese poem i know is that typical Cantonese "chung ching ming yuet gwong etc...."

[hysteric0312]

keeping in mind that a character can also mean a different thing /w another character ._."

[Tetra]

^Same with english.

"You" =/= "me".

They're all characters depending on how you look at it. In chinese they're all "words". In english and other foreign others, they call them "characters" cause to be words, they have to look like this.

"Qi gong"? i thought that was kinda like Tai Chi as in we use "Qi" and all that......

the only chinese poem i know is that typical Cantonese "chung ching ming yuet gwong etc...."

Qi gong..I think the qi refers to pressure or whatever, in our body, not the "chi" where we unleash supernatural energies

qi gong is different from taiji,qi gong used your internal qi.kinda like an excese program,while taiji is a form of martial art

the poem you are tlking about is this:

chuangqian mingyue guang
yishi dishang shuang
jutou wang mingyue
ditou si guoxiang

舞剑 is really odd to read even in modern chinese

when you refering to certain kind of dance,you would put 舞after something.

like 街舞（street dance）,no body would say舞街 in chinese.

[Tetra]

^What about wu dao or wu shu?
