神奇的神七, 真神气!!!

Stones Spell Successful Steps in Space

29 September 08

These eight decorative pebbles known as yuhuashi (rain water stone 雨花石) are collected by Lin Senhe (林森和), a Chinese living in Nanjing, over the years. The white marks on the pebbles, which somehow candidly assemble Chinese characters, are naturally formed, and when these pebbles are put together and arranged in a certain way, a verse appears which reads
"China's Divine Vessel Seven, Successfuly Flies to Heaven."

Yuhuashi is a particular kind of natural agate pebbles found in Nanjing only.

Is this just a coninsidence that three Chinese taikonauts boarding Shenzhou 7 spaceship were all born in a horse year?

 


Taikonauts

星星世界遍诸天,
不计三千与大千,
倘亦乘槎中有客,
回头望我地球圆。

黄遵宪 (1848-1905)

Taikonaut is the Chinese counterpart for astronaut (for Americans) and cosmonaut (for Russians), which is a term invented by Malaysian Chinese Zhao Liyu (赵里昱) years ago in his post published on "wforum.com/wmf", one of the most intelligent, informative and witty online Chinese forums in cyberspace.

Zhao is also an enthusiastic promoter of traditional Chinese costume Han-style clothes. Below are two pics posted by him on the forum:
