It is often used to teach Standard Chinese, which is written using Chinese characters. The system includes four diacritics denoting tones, Pinyin without tone marks is used to spell Chinese names and words in languages written with the Latin alphabet, and also in certain computer input methods to enter Chinese characters.
The pinyin system was developed in the s by many linguists, including Zhou Youguang and it was published by the Chinese government in and revised several times. The International Organization for Standardization adopted pinyin as a standard in The system was adopted as the standard in Taiwan in In , the Jesuit missionary Matteo Ricci published Xizi Qiji in Beijing and this was the first book to use the Roman alphabet to write the Chinese language. Twenty years later, another Jesuit in China, Nicolas Trigault, neither book had much immediate impact on the way in which Chinese thought about their writing system, and the romanizations they described were intended more for Westerners than for the Chinese.
One of the earliest Chinese thinkers to relate Western alphabets to Chinese was late Ming to early Qing Dynasty scholar-official, the first late Qing reformer to propose that China adopt a system of spelling was Song Shu. A student of the great scholars Yu Yue and Zhang Taiyan, Song had been to Japan and observed the effect of the kana syllabaries. This galvanized him into activity on a number of fronts, one of the most important being reform of the script, while Song did not himself actually create a system for spelling Sinitic languages, his discussion proved fertile and led to a proliferation of schemes for phonetic scripts.
The Wade—Giles system was produced by Thomas Wade in , and it was popular and used in English-language publications outside China until This Sin Wenz or New Writing was much more sophisticated than earlier alphabets. Mao Zedong and Zhu De, head of the army, both contributed their calligraphy for the masthead of the Sin Wenz Societys new journal. Over thirty journals soon appeared written in Sin Wenz, plus large numbers of translations, biographies, some contemporary Chinese literature, and a spectrum of textbooks.

It originally recorded mainly Peking opera, but later expanded to Mandarin popular music, later other foreign as well as Chinese-own recording companies were also established in China.
Early in the 20th century, people in China generally spoke in their own regional dialect, although most people in Shanghai then spoke Shanghainese, the recordings of the pop music from Shanghai from the s onwards were done in Standard Mandarin, which is based on the Beijing dialect. Those involved in this movement included such as Li Jinhui. Mandarin popular songs started in the s were called shidaiqu. The Mandarin popular songs of the Shanghai era are considered by scholars to be the first kind of popular music developed in China. Li Jinhui is generally regarded as the Father of Chinese Popular Music who established the genre in the s, buck Clayton, the American jazz musician, also worked alongside Li.
Li established the Bright Moon Song and Dance Troupe, and amongst their singing stars were Wang Renmei, there was a close relationship between music and film industries and many of its singers also became actresses. Around , Li composed the hit song The Drizzle recorded by his daughter Li Minghui, the song however was sung in a high-pitched childlike style, a style described uncharitably as sounding like strangling cat by the writer Lu Xun.
Amongst the best-known of the singer-actress to emerge in the s were Zhou Xuan, Gong Qiuxia, although later singing stars need not also have an acting career, the close relationship between the recording and film industries continued for many decades.

It was more beautiful than the photos, and it had plenty of room for my family- husband, three children, mother in law, and aunt in law. It was great to have so much space, and the kids loved playing pool in the living room.
We also loved swimming at the secluded beach just down the steps from the house and enjoying galoas and juices at the cafe across the street. The kids loved the foozball table at the cafe too! We loved the beautiful gardens with their view of the sea, and we made fresh squeezed lemonade from lemons off the trees.
This house was spotless and so comfortable. A very beautiful and friendly place with gorgeous beaches nearby. Very kind and welcoming host. Thank you so much! Amazing and unforgettable time in San Miguel island and at large thanks to Helen's and Joao's hospitality and cozy house ex-winery with a great fruit garden. Ocean views, fireplace, large kitchen, billiards table,.. The house has simply everything you need. What a wonderful house. The house is spotless and decorated to a high standard with very good facilities; pool table, washing machine, garden room, plenty of outdoor furniture, parking, indoor bbq area.
The two bathrooms, extensive living space and garden provide more than enough space for a very comfortable and relaxing family holiday. Helena is a wonderful host and provided us with such a warm welcome; as well as meeting us at the house to show us around she had prepared us a delicious supper, including local cheeses and fresh fruit from the garden, and had left us some essential food for our first day. We highly recommend this property. The house is amazing. There is lots of space inside and also there is a huge garden attached which we were allowed to use.
The mattresses are all very good quality too. It's not very far by car from two great beaches. We can only recommend to stay here. We really enjoyed our stay on San Miguel. We were there the first week of June Helena is a wonderful hostess and the pictures do not do justice to her home in Agua d'Alto. It was a perfect location to explore the island. We were a family group with 7 adults and there was more than enough room for all of us. Helena arranged for us to drop off our bags early and even worked around our 3 hour plane delay. She welcomed us with a selection of local treats, bread, wine, cheese The view is unbeatable and you can hear the waves from the bedroom at night.
The space is cozy and comfortable. The host is very kind and gave us recommendations on where to eat. I very much enjoyed my stay in Vila Franca Do Campo. I spent six nights here and it was a good location for trips around the island. The village also has a grocery store Solmar , walking distance from your place.
Communication with Paulo was easy and he replied quickly. The place was easy to find with GPS, the street is narrow but there is a nearby parking lot. Paulo made me feel welcome and showed me around. The little house with its own patio is equipped with what you need in the kitchen including oil and some spices and has fire extinguisher and wound disinfection. All spaces were very clean.
At arrival the dining table was prepared with fruits, bread and bottled water. I could have used a little better lighting over the bathroom mirror. It feels safe with the hosting family staying next door but still your house is completely private. This place is small though so actually ideal for one person but two not minding living close to each other would also be fine. The best thing with this place is the roaring ocean just outside your window with amazing views anywhere you look. The neighborhood is quiet, and boasts nearby shops within a short walk or drive for the travel-weary.
As a host, Paulo is friendly, quick to respond, and very accommodating. He has a wealth of information for anyone looking for advice about the island. This Place is the best value of any place we have stayed on Sao Miguel. The view is spectacular and we slept incredibly well to the sound of the ocean every night.
If you hear a strange, almost frog like noise at night, they are Corys Shearwaters a large shorebird , we had a good time watching them fly around at night. The house is small but perfect for two and had everything we needed. Paulo even left is some fresh bread and fruit. We had a small issue checking in only because I didn't have service and couldn't see the perfect directions Paulo had sent but other than that absolutely no issues. He even let us stay a additional night when our travel plans changed. Paulo was very friendly, and helpful.
Even we got some local bread and fruits.
It was very pleasant suprise. The view is awesome. Much better than the pictures. We had a wonderful week in Paolo's Flat. The ocean was directly in front of our flat, so we could sleep with the waves in our ears. We also could cook nearly every day in the small kitchen. Simply but perfect Flat for a visit at Sao Miguel. We had a very nice stay.
Nice hosts, very helpful and amiable. Simple, clean, priceworthy room with basic facilities. Great fish restaurant nearby. Walk to the village about half an hour. Cheap bakery with excellent gelao milk coffee , pastries and snacks there Nossa Senhora do Pao. The thing we loved most about this place is not really a thing at all.
They make you feel like you're part of their family right from the start. I'm not sure I'd ever come to a place before and felt so comfortable and welcome the moment I'd arrived there. We had a lot of fun with them, they helped us with some interesting tips and explained a lot about their culture and their family.
They also have a lot of funny stories to share and they are genuinely interested in what you have to say. We really enjoyed the long talks we had with them. Sandra told us at the very beginning that we would be sorry for leaving their place and boy, was she right. We also loved their pets - Zucca, Max, Duquesa and Cinderella are three adorable and friendly dogs and one beautiful cat. They have an interesting group dynamic and were so funny sometimes. They adore Sandra though, so be careful if you bring your own pets - they might just want to stay with her.
It's a really short stroll to the beach and one of the best fish restaurants on the island Bar Caloura. Overall, in Sandra's words, you'll regret leaving this place. The house is in a quiet neighborhood, just perfect if you want to relax: We arrived super late and Joao still took his time to explain us some parts of the island Thank you for having us!! We enjoyed our stay! You have your own back patio perfect for bird watching and the neighborhood is very quiet.
There is a great restaurant just steps away though this is the only place nearby so I definitely recommend a car! There aren't a lot of amenities but for the price this is definitely a good option. Joao had tons of information about the island to share and was easily accessible via text. My favorite Air BnB thus far! An amazing quiet location next to the ocean with a great view of a cliff.
The host, family, and dogs are extremely nice! Nice location, awesome view and it is close to a swimming spot. The hosts were very kind. If you want to wash your laundry than you have to do it with your hands in the garden at a sink. They have no washing machine. We had a good time there. His place is centrally located which made accessing every destination an easy drive as I had a rental car.
The accommodation itself was spotless and had a beautiful yard with banana trees and a lovely hammock. The beach was a two minute walk with great restaurants in town. Also a lovely fruit stand! Thank you for a great stay! S the kitchen is equipped with three great bowls for ramen noodles. Really confortable and with a good access to every part of the island.
In a quiet village, a lovely traditionnal house. The host was really nice and helpfull. Everything we needed was provided, and Paulina answered all our questions! We spent four days in Paulina's house and it was amazing! The view from the terrace is beautiful and the house very charming. Paulina is a very good and nice host with good advices: We highly recommend this place. Paulina's apartment lays in a very charming and quiet environment, almost next to the ocean. Probably good to have a car to reach around, but also buses are stopping nearby. Paulina and her husband are very nice people, easygoing and still precise.
I can highly recommend this place to have a good holiday in Sao Miguel! Paulina's place is a traditional stone cottage with a lot of character. I would recommend it for only two adventurous people rather than four as the loft may be a bit uncomfortable for sleeping. You need a good sense of direction and a small car to make it down the narrow street and into the gate of the house which is located on a hill.
It has a nice patio overlooking the ocean where we had some of our meals. The bathroom and linens need to be upgraded. A wonderful little house! Looks just like pictures. Tucked away in the hillside, you can see the ocean from the terrace. Easy to get to and a good location to explore the island from. Paulina is a gracious and very responsive host! Would certainly recommend to all: Paulina knows how to welcome you, our plane was late but she prepared all well, including a nice breakfast!! There was a baby bed for our little girl, thank you again!
The place is very quiet, there's all you need in the kitchen, and the view is nice! Because of the weather, the house is a bit cold, but the beds have lot of blankets and there's a small radiator. A nice place to stay, very convenient to visit Sao Miguel Island! You should come here without hesitations ;-. She made us a chocolate cake!! She is a wonderful host by nature, very helpful and a great conversationalist. Her tips helped our the island experience go from good to great. If we plan another trip here I will definitely come back here.
Very cosy and well equiped appartment with extremely nice service from Eleni. She has been very attentive, yet very discreet. To say this place is above and beyond is an understatement, in every possible way. Eleni's hospitality is unmatched. She waited up for us when we arrived after midnight and greeted us with a hug. She stocked the fridge with all kinds of goodies from homemade chocolate cake deliscious!!!
And the space itself is absolutely incredible. The views are out of this world, and the loft is a little slice of heaven. Stylishy decorated and absolutely pristine, we felt like we were staying in the best possible spot on the whole island. We felt so lucky to have found this place. Eleni and her husband were the best hosts! Our stay was amazing in this gorgoues house!
Penang is a Malaysian state located on the northwest coast of Peninsular Malaysia, by the Malacca Strait. At the end of the stairs there is a barbecue which have all necessary equipment wood, coal, The oven keeps you warm. Mandarin popular songs started in the s were called shidaiqu. The home is modern, clean, and well taken care of. Vila Franca is only a few minutes by car, there you can find all kinds of markets, restaurants, etc.
Eleni and Gorge are so kind and full of good advices. If we come back one day, we know where we will stay. I can't rave enough about Eleini and her beautiful guest loft.
My wife and I stayed four nights and we didn't want to leave. Beautiful space and a great location on the island. Eleni's welcome basket and hospitality was first rate. CK seaside loft was perfect. Breathtaking views, great hospitality, and such a clean welcoming space. We loved the property so much we plan on having our wedding here next summer!
We enjoyed our stay thoroughly. The home was clean and tastefully furnished. A portable heater was provided as there was no central heating system. The bed was comfortable with a good amount of pillows and blankets. The shower was equipped with a rainfall showerhead that was a pleasure to use. After check-in, Maria surprised us with homemade squash soup that was delicious!
She also provided an assortment of snacks salted peanuts, cake, biscuits, cookies as well as jams, honey, ham, cheese, eggs, bread and fruit. Beer, juice and water were found in the fridge. You could be tempted to have most of your meals at Maria's home, but go out and explore the beautiful island of Sao Miguel!
We spent 1 night in Casa da Quinta and had a very nice stay! Thank you very much Maria for all the goodies chocolate cake, cookies, bread, home made jam, etc. And special thanks to the house maid Ana who has been so nice with us! We would definitely recommend this place! We had a wonderful experience at Maria's place.
We arrived late and had a soup, a cake, and plenty of other nice things waiting for us.
The house is very well equipped and really cosy. Maria makes everything to make you feel at home. Never felt so welcomed. This is a fantastic place to stay! We booked it as home base for our driving trips a around the island, and just like the other reviews, it did not disappoint. Not only is it a cute and comfortable place to rest and clean up, it has a full kitchen with everything you need to prep meals and boasts terrific views of the ocean.
Maria is so generous: There's a supermarket within walking distance and restaurants close by. She recommended some other restaurants around the island that were perfect as well. Honestly, we will recommend Casa Da Quinta to everyone we know. We enjoyed every monent in Maria's lovely apartment. It was not just the warm welcome including a delicious cake, soup and a well filled fridge.
Maria also gave us helpful advices for activities on this beautiful island. Thank a lot for everything, Maria! Such lovely hospitality and a beautiful location, we enjoyed our stay so much. Highly highly recommended for couples staying on Sao Miguel! We spend 10 days at Marias wonderful house. The house was better than expected! Very comfortable, clean and new renovated. The Bathroom is tidy and also very well equipped washer, towels, soap, hair dryer Upstairs you can find a nice bedroom with large TV an enough space Arround the house you can find a great garden and a private terrace also with view onto the atlantic.
Maria has been always lovely and helpful sightseeing tips, new towel, fresh vegetable, etc. We enjoyed our trip from the first second!!! The four of us enjoyed staying here. It accommodated us well. Beatriz's son, Miguel was easy to contact for directions to help us find our way. The ocean pool was beautiful and at low tide you can see little creatures.

It was a little cold to swim in so we've already said that next time we'll have to go back in July but then we would miss the Festival of Sao Miguel which was really fun to see. This place exceeds all expectations and surpasses the pictures. The sea water pool is priceless and the sunsets over the ocean are amazing. We will be back to QVA and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a wonderful stay in the Azores. Fantastic house with a stunning view on a perfect location.
The swimming pool, the ocean pool, the peace of the surrounding banana plants, just perfect. A car is more of less required to reach the house. The place is amazing, it's better than how it looks in the photo. Everything was clean and tidy. Wish it was warm enough to use the pool while enjoying the stunning view: These units are awesome. From the clean, modern spaces right through the incredible pool and deck space down past the shared BBQ and sitting area an on to the sea-water pool on the edge of the ocean this spot is incredible.
At the price we paid, it was a very good value for an outstanding vacation spot! The place was fabulous. Both pools are beautiful. The place was fully stocked with everything you need and extra towels.
Definitely want to come back. What a charming place! Convenient especially for the east side. Only about 15 or so minutes to Furnas areas. If you going to visit Azores - don't hesitate any more minutes - this place is simple the best!!! Mariana is very kindess and hospitality person with amazing attention to details, she made our hollidays like a fairy tale!
And the appartment is large, stylish, full equipment with all that you may need. The balcon is awesome and we were happy every morning to see outstanding spectacular view to the ocean and surroundings. Apparently it's our best airbnb experience! Perfect place to spend your holidays. The apartment was clean, sunny, calm and modern.
And that perfect view from the balcony!!! Also the owner-Mariana is very kind and helpful. The place is great!! Beautiful views from the balcony! We travelled with a 6-month baby and Mariana was able to provide a crib, changing table, high chair and a bath tub - all of which was a great help! We loved our time there, the apt is very clean and everything you need is there! Huge for two of us with an amazing balcony with fantastic views plus hammock, outdoor table etc. The apartment was spotless. The location was also perfect. Really quiet but v near everywhere by car. Marianna was so warm and welcoming and always extremely helpful.
Couldnt praise her enough. Mariana was easy to communicate with as we shared our phone numbers and always got back to me instantly. If you are visiting Sao Miguel, Mariana's place makes it a much better experience!!! En bref je recommande! Nice spacious layout with backyard terrace and very large shared backyard! Antonio was more then helpful with extra towels and linen provided, even brought us fresh hot bread on one morning! Lovely spot to stay in the middle of the island, easy to travel to the main attractions. Would recommend to friends!
Antonio's place is close to both Ponta Delgada and Vila Franco do Campo if you like the city and several great beaches -- Caloura Praia bring your mask and snorkel , Agua d'Alto, and Baixa d'Areia Praia walkable from the apartment. We appreciated the beach towels Antonio provided, and it was convenient to have the use of a washing machine. Also, it was lovely to have outdoor seating.
You will only want to be outdoors when you visit the Azores. The apartment is very cosy, has 3 levels and is nicely decorated. The location is great to explore the island and to visit a beautiful beach nearby. We enjoyed our stay a lot! Antonio is a very nice host. This home is a very quite place and an ideal situation to visit San Miguel.
A great studio townhouse apartment with a loft, good for people two couples. The whole apartment is one space, with full visibility and audibility. Very nice patio outside the front door for breakfasts. The local blues festival was a nice experience, too. The location was perfect, central to everything we wanted to do. The space was huge, beautiful and had everything we could have wanted as well as a space to park our rental car. Very nice place to stay. Supermarket 20m away from the entrance. The building is located close to the highway which makes travelling in Sao Miguel very fast and easy.
Flat is very big and sunny with two great terraces! Welcome pack with the basket filled with local food was amazing! We really enjoyed our stay in this apartment. The location was perfect, since there was a grocery store right next to us and the drive to Ponta Delgada was short.
Also, there was everything we needed during our stay. Only negative thing in the apartment was a funny smell, but if the host fixes that, this apartment would be just great. A very nice apartment, full of comforts, perfect clean and with a kind hospitality. Near the oceans and the shops. Very professional but friendly host. The apartment was in really good conditions. The terraces are quite nice. We had a wonderful stay at the sky appartment. Well located to start from to travel the island. The appartment itself was very clean and neat.
Welcome basket at our arrival. Two nice terraces where you can see the sea or the mountains behind. Not the most charming area but calm and safe. Parking lot for our rented car. Big SolMar supermarket just around the corner. Really spacious, nice and clean. Has a very nice balcony on both sides and a good location. Would recommend it to every one.
The host is very nice and replies quickly. We forgot a tshirt and he was able to send it back for us! Relatively new and well furnished apartment with a nice balcony located in a residential area of Villa Franco. We found it a great spot to explore the Island from via car. Wifi worked great and all amenities as well. This was a great apartment with an amazing view.
Plenty of space for 4 adults and 2 kids. Everything was clean and modern. Management was very nice and helpful. Loved staying at Marin Mar II! Great views, huge apartment, perfect location! It is right next to the beach with ocean views from the master bedroom and living room. Vila Franca do Campo was quieter than Ponta Delgada and they have tours to the tiny island just off the coast. The town is central to everything and with the rental car we could travel to almost anywhere on the island within an hour.
This was a lovely, clean home that looked just as it does in the pictures. The hosts were very responsive and quickly tried to address our needs. Just something to keep in mind when selecting your lodging. Although not included in the listing, the master bedroom of this house does have air conditioning. We requested a fan for a second bedroom and the hosts quickly provided it.
It is in a great location for exploring all ends of the island. The terrace and views down to the sea make it an amazing place to relax. Maria was a brilliant host and provided us with everything we needed for our stay and more. She takes great pride in her beautiful property and she made our stay very comfortable. I cannot recommend her place enough. Thank you for everything Maria! What an amazing place! Maria was a great host, very easy to communicate with and put some thoughtful touches into our stay.
I would highly recommend! Maria has created a beautiful, warm, cosy home. Incredibly designed and built with stunning views of the surrounding countryside and ocean, set in an idyllic rural yet easily accessible location. Maria was delightfully friendly and helpful, I highly recommend this property. My first visit to the Azores was marked by this house and its location. Has a fantastic view of sea and countryside. And the house is amazing.
All my family love it. Maria 's place is great. Great location, quiet, with an amazing view, 2 lovely cats, good accommodation, very clean. We were very well welcome by Maria with some local gifts. Thanks a lot for these dream days. What a great place and hospitality. Maria made sure we enjoy the place and made every effort to make this unforgettable experience. She even made a gift for our little one and dropped it before we left. Our only regret was we didn't stay longer. The house is just too cute. A real dream house. And Maria is one kind of a host. And there are ice cream vendors and there are open esplanades in every beach.
In a time when the physical distances narrow. In an era, the digital one, full of lone individuals prefixed to a virtual communication doctrine, in which intimacy and the true leitmotif of each human being is relegated to a community mirage, man still fights as his ancestors did, an old battle in the horizons and about the social skills around him. Metaphysical spaces elevated to a collective subconscious, to a popular imaginary where daily, we fight an eternal battle between the unconquered and the real. Areas working as mirrors of a society destined to a fierce development, where future frequently confuses with present and past is lapidated by the burden of the now.
No Destination has been developed in those spaces, highways, parking, yards, old factories, or service roads; time there seems to remain silent after an aesthetic and purely emotional resource: Series are articulated under one common denominator: This is a sort of scenic existentialism in a process of search of a harmony with the environment. In his work, the feelings become identifiable geographical points, palpable and subjectivized realities. They are not places to go, but the transit of a life generated by the living pulse. Through the nude photography, free from interventions, he captures with a shy but determined approach, the scene found, assimilating a process of sensitive and not visual mimesis.
Analogy between the physical need to shuttle, travel and exploration are but reflections of the desire for emotional migration, of the sensitive experimentation. His work appears articulated as memory does: I am looking for places that conserve a trace of the demolished architectural structure that in a sense speak of the political-economical situation of a country that is finding a way to inject its economy by turning its back to growing centrally and promoting and subsidizing the mass construction of housing complexes in the out skirts of the metropolitan area.
Urban growth depends and causes deconstruction in inner city areas. Land in downtown is highly overpriced by market speculation, making investors look to un-urbanized land to create new developments that are lacking of all kinds of infrastructure. His projects employ landscape and portraiture as a means to examine social, urban and environmental issues.
