Vietnamese Name in Chinese Characters

2008-06-14T21:20:00.001-07:00

vinhlong -
I was wondering if anyone could help me translate the following vietnamese name "Bao Uyen" into Chinese.

I actually have little idea of the meaning. I think it was supposed to mean something like "preserve wisdom" But I can't find any character combination that matches this meaning.

Thanks in advance.

Vinh Long

Bảo Uyên: 保淵 (渊 simplified character)

There is a Chinese-Vietnamese on-line dictionary here:

http://www27.brinkster.com/hanosoft/

and here:
http://perso.wanadoo.fr/dang.tk/langues/hanviet.htm

You should find the meaning easily...

nnt -

In the previous transcription Bảo Uyên: 保淵, bảo 保 means to protect, to preserve, as in bảo vệ 保衛 bao3 wei4 (simplified 卫 ) , and uyên 淵 yuan1 (simplified 渊) means deep pool (noun) or deep, profound (adjective) as in uyên thâm 淵(渊)深 yuan1 shen1.
There is another possibility for bảo, if you are not sure of the actual meaning is "to preserve". It's bảo 寶 bao3 (precious, treasure) as in bảo bối 寶貝 (宝贝) bao3 bei4 (Sure you know "Shanghai baby"! ).
Both transcriptions are possible.

vinhlong -

Thank you very much for your quick reply NNT! You really helped me out here!

I didn't make the connection between "deep" and "wisdom".

Thanks again!

Anyone would help me to translate this name into chinese :
Nguyen Lie^n Hu)o)ng
And I'm so sorry I don't have Vkey

HashiriKata -

Nguyen Lien Huong =
阮莲香 (Ruǎn Liánxiāng)

"Lian xiang" means "Lotus Fragrance", and that is my best guess for "Lien Huong", but I could be wrong unless you tell me what "Lien Huong" is intended to mean in Vietnamese.

russianborn2906 -

@HashiriKata:
You are spot on! Lien Huong means Lotus Fragrance in Vietnamese.

China's economy may fall into deflation

www.chinanews.cn 2005-08-01 09:47:25

(Source: Xinhua)

July 31 - At the second China economic observation forum, some economists
predict that China's economy may fall into a deflation characterized by
persistent consumer price decrease.
Lin Yifu, Director of China Center for Economic Research (CCER) of
Beijing University, said at the forum held quarterly by CCER that China
is expected to see deflation caused by overcapacity in the latter half of
2005.
Wang Jian, Deputy Secretary General for the Economic Research Institute
under State Development and Reform Commission, said that decreasing
growth of Consumer Price Index (CPI), dropping enterprise profits, as
well as losses in downstream industries areall signals that China's
economy has taken a cooling trend.
According to Wang, China's economy has reached the middle phase of the
highly-growth cycle driven by heavy industry investment since 2003. So
the investment is expected to fall in 2006 despite a continuing rapid
growth, he said.
As for the consuming sector, because this year's good harvest may result
in somewhat decrease of farm produce prices, Chinese farmers, accounting
for China's largest population, is expected to see their net income
growth of this year lower than that in last year, which will limit the
expansion of the domestic demand to a large extent, said Wang.
On the other hand, the lower expectation of this year's economic growth
in Japan, the European Union and the United Statesfor such factors as
soaring oil price will also lead to the decrease of China's export
expectation, he said.
As a result, with this cycle of investment tide draws to a close in 2007,
most new capacity will be put into production and it is inevitable to see
over-supply and price decrease then, said Wang.
China's economy has been in the alert zone of deflation, said Yuan
Gangming, research fellow of the Center for China in the World Economy of
Qinghua University. Professor Song Guoqing of CCER has the same worries.
Through data analysis, Song demonstrated that the 9.5 percent growth of
China's GDP in the first half of this year was driven by the growth of
favorable trade balance to a large extent as the real growth of domestic
demand is only 3.5 percent.
So there is possibility of weak demand and so deflation in certain period
of time, said Song. But he predict the deflation will not last long.

The world's oldest panda held in captivity has died Tuesday at the Guilin
City Zoo in the Guangxi region, at the age of 36, or the equivalent of
108 human years. Because of her old age, Meimei had recently suffered
from eating difficulties and the gradual failure of various organs. Giant
pandas are generally found in temperate forests in central China. Among
the best recognized �� but rarest �� animals in the world, as few as
1,600 giant pandas survive in the mountain forests of central China.
Another 120 are in Chinese breeding facilities and zoos.

(Source: Xinhuanet)

July 13 - The Taiwan Work Office of the Communist Party of China (CPC)
Central Committee hosted a farewell banquet for visiting New Party
delegation here Tuesday evening.
Chen Yunlin, director of the Office, said members of the New Party are
"our friends and comrades" in opposing "Taiwan independence", seeking
peaceful reunification of the country and wishing for compatriots on both
sides of the Taiwan Straits to jointly create new glories for the Chinese
nation.
Chen said the New Party's "journey of the Chinese nation" has achieved
complete success and wished the delegation a smooth trip back to Taiwan.
Yok Mu-ming, New Party Chairman, said the 30 members of the delegation
felt they have no differences with the mainland compatriots in customs,
language and feelings during the trip.
"We are of one family. We share the feelings on seeking national
reunification and preventing separation," said Yok.
The delegation will return to Taiwan Wednesday after completing the
eight-day trip, set for July 6-13, to commemorate the 60th anniversary of
China's victory in the resistance war against Japanese aggression.

EU anti-dumping targets Chinese furniture

www.chinanews.cn 2006-04-26 14:29:28

Chinanews, Apr.26 - EU anti-dumping investigations recently took aim at
Chinese furniture. German and Italian furniture manufacturers are
pressing the European Commission to launch an anti-dumping investigation
into furniture exported by China.
It is learned that the European Furniture Manufacturers Confederation
represented by German and Italian furniture manufacturers is very likely
to submit a formal anti-dumping document to lodge a complaint in the
following one and a half months. This anti-dumping investigation aims at
a vast range of Chinese furniture, including sofas, kitchen furniture and
office chairs.
Insiders said that in recent years, Chinese furniture exports have
improved in quality and elevated its grade rapidly, and the competitive
pricing edge has earned Chinese furniture a place in the global market.
Nonetheless, high-quality and low-priced Chinese furniture has caught the
attention of furniture manufacturers in other countries, and its exports
has frequently encountered trade barriers set by importing countries.
In January 2005, the U.S. Department of Commerce decided to take
anti-dumping measures against China's furniture exports and imposed
anti-dumping duties (ranging from 4.9% to 198%) on certain imported
wooden bedroom furniture. In November last year, the Canadian furniture
industry put forward a safeguard investigation application and demanded
the authorities levy three years of high supplementary taxes on Chinese
furniture.

China aims at self-reliance in military changes, expert

www.chinanews.cn 2006-04-07 18:33:20

Chinanews, Beijing, April 7 - A Chinese military expert recently said
that military changes in China are different from those in western
countries in that China will largely rely on its own efforts and take
into consideration its past and present condition and this will be the
key to the success of the reform with Chinese characteristics.
In an interview given to reporters, Vice Director of the Military Thought
and History Teaching and Research Department of the National Defense
University Sun Kejia said in terms of organizational leadership, there
are many restrictive and impacting factors in the western countries
including the United States, while in China it is the from-top-to-bottom
case, in which initiation is made by top party and military leaders.
Compared with western countries, the expert said, China is a latecomer in
military changes. While both the two have their eyes on informationalized
war in carrying out military reform, they have started from a very
different level: in the United States, military changes are done when
U.S. armed forces are overall highly mechanized where as Chinese armed
force lag, which is far behind the United States is that they are only in
semi-mechanized.
Although China is a late-comer in military reform, it has its advantages
as such, said Sun, for it can thus draw upon or do directly obtain the
achievements and experiences from the western countries�� military reform
and put them to use in combination with its own characteristics.

China to constitute 5 education-related laws

www.chinanews.cn 2006-03-01 15:06:15

Chinanews, Beijing, Mar.1(By Zhou Zhaojun) - Chinese Minister of
Education Zhou Ji indicated on the press conference held by the State
Council Information Office on Feb. 28 that in the next five years, China
will further promote educational legislation. It plans to constitute five
laws, including the "degree law", "examination law", "school law",
"lifelong education law", and "education investment law".
Since fraudulent practices cannot be stopped in various exams in recent
years and academic corruption is increasingly rampant, the society pay
close attention to the constitution of the "examination law" which will
cover all educational exams organized by China's educational departments,
such as the university entrance exam, the entrance examination of
postgraduates, the College English Test and the self-study exam. In
addition, the "examination law" will set relevant provisions to punish
academic corruption.
The "education investment law" is another bright spot. Zhou said that
during the 11th "Five-Year Plan" period (2006-2010), China will strive to
lift the ratio of financial investment in education to GDP to 4%.
Statistics show that currently the ratio is less than 3%.
China will also rectify four operational education-related laws in the
next five years, namely "Compulsory Education Law", "Education Law",
"Higher Education Law" and "Teachers Law," of which "Compulsory Education
Law" has submitted an amended draft to the National People's Congress
(NPC) Standing Committee.
According to Zhou, the amended "Compulsory Education Law" will have a
special chapter on construction of ranks of teachers, rural teachers in
particular. The amended draft stipulates that the salary level for rural
teachers should not be lower than that of local civil servants.

Beijing to include happiness in harmonious society assessment

www.chinanews.cn 2006-02-21 14:07:45

Chinanews, Beijing, Feb. 21 (By Wu Qingcai) - Beijing Municipal Bureau of
Statistics Director General Cui Shuqiang revealed on February 20 at
Beijing's statistical working conference that this year Beijing would
initiate research on happiness index and launch a system of happiness
indicators that would be included in the work of assessing indicators for
a harmonious society. From this point onward, the feeling of happiness
would become an important indicator to assess whether Beijing has
achieved a harmonious society.
It was learned that Beijing's "harmonious societal indicator system"
comprises three major categories, with the first and third categories
being objective indicators. The second category is a subjective indicator
that includes separate indicators such as "self-recognition of citizens
at the bottom stratum", "feeling of social belonging", "comparative sense
of deprivation" and among these, "happiness index" would be a part.
"The degree of satisfaction of citizens towards their living and work
environment can possibly become part of the happiness index," Cui
Shuqiang told reporters. At present, the research on the "happiness
index" is still ongoing. It is estimated that this system will be
launched this year. According to preliminary conjecture, the survey of
happiness will include the degree of satisfaction that citizens feel
about themselves in the five categories of personal income, work, living
conditions, social interaction and comprehensive assessment.
Analysts point out that the launch of a happiness index shows that the
government dares to put pressure on itself on issues ranging from
attending to citizen's material needs, economic conditions to their
spiritual needs and psychological feelings. This also means that the
starting point of governmental work will be whether citizens are
satisfied or unsatisfied, happy or unhappy. This signifies that "using
people as basic value" will truly become the core administrative concept
for government.

forces in 2006 come from rural areas, and most of them have to find a job

Beijing plans legislation on mental health

www.chinanews.cn 2006-01-10 15:49:38

Chinanews, Jan. 10 - According to the Procuratorial Daily, Zhang Yin,
deputy director of the Legislative Affairs Office affiliated to Standing
Committee of the Beijing Municipal People's Congress, revealed recently
that the committee was planning to constitute "regulations on mental
health."
Zhang indicated that as incidents of mental health occurred from time to
time in recent years, Beijing Municipal People's Congress considered
legislating the "regulations on mental health" to care for public mental
health, prevent occurrence of social tragedies and improve life quality
of Beijing citizens.
During the Chinese society's transition period at present, social
conflicts and pressure on competition are on the rise. Moreover, due to
faster pace of life and work and other social factors, mental disease has
become a quite serious disease among China's categories of illness.
Expenditures on mental disease are estimated to account for one fourth of
the country's total in 2020. Therefore, related experts believe that
there is no time to delay to legislate on mental health.
Zhang Yin said that in addition to "regulations on mental health,"
Beijing Municipal People's Congress will also establish regulations on
letters and calls in line with the city's practical situations and
relevant regulations of the State Council so as to acquaint Beijing
citizens with channels of letters and calls to express their opinions.
Beijing Municipal People's Congress will also formulate energy-saving
solutions in keeping with the city's stern situation of energy supply and
current capacities and conditions.
