Is that Arsene Wengu? Or another Wengu altogether?

There sure are some great people at the AFPC.

Excellent site for language teachers. The Three Character Classic is ideal for grade school kids - obviously - but I mean little foreign kids learning Chinese.

Since they don't explain it on the "Welcome" page, I thought I'd point out that the site's name (溫故) is a clever reference to a well-known sentence of the Lunyu, II.11: wengu zhixin 溫故知新 (well-known because it has become a chengyu/quadrisyllabic expression).

For anyone who doesn't already know it, www.popjisyo.com is useful resource with a similar rollover thing for vocabulary. It's imperfect, since it's actually parsing the webpages, and sometimes gets the compounds wrong, but it's a useful tool for language-learners nevertheless. Has Japanese, Chinese, and Korean dictionaries implemented.

Thanks! Ez rendered the passage "If a man keep alive what is old and recognize novelty, he can, eventually, teach." (Wengu part bolded.)

"Keep warm" would have been better, but I don't know if it'd be correct English.

Unfortunately the first line of Chapter I of the _Analects_ displays a shortcoming of the rollover meanings--the tenth character of the fist line brings up a gloss "shui" or "shuo" meaning "to persuade politically" or "to say;" however, if one reads the translation, one discovers "Is it not delightful. . ." as the translation. The character in question, also had the reading of "yueh" and the meaning of "to be a joy/delight/pleasure." This is a fairly obscure pronouniation and reading, except it is in the famous beginning of the _Analects_! Doc Rock

Tsk. Thanks for pointing that out.

Tsk, indeed. There is a comments feature (which I don't like, because it is confusing on a non-blog), so you could suggest to them to add the usual "說 is to be read as yue 悅" glose (none of these readings is "obscure", though).

I guess it should be "suggest that they add...".
