Ancient Chinese General
good online source about tang dynasty?
what is a good online source regarding the tang dynasty? I'm looking for something that is detailed and informative, and that includes descriptions of clothing, transportation, and overall information about culture. if you have any knowledge that may be useful, i would be grateful if you will share that. also, i was wondering what the part of a carriage that ties the horse to the carriage is called, and general information about ancient chinese carriages. thanks!
Ah, most of the links I have on the tang dynasty refer to the artwork, I took an art history class last term.

Is it a common experience when becoming multilingual to feel like we're all speaking the same tongue?
My native language is English. The only verbal non-English language I've ever really tried to learn is French, and I didn't have to try very hard, at least in receptive language skills. With just a little bit of exposure to Spanish, suddenly I realize I can read all these languages - not perfectly, sure, but any texts in the languages mentioned above all make sense to me. I understand in at least a general way what is being spoken of in the article, and sometimes can even understand very specifically what is being said. Not so surprising when it comes to French, but Italian? Dutch? I can even make -some- small amount of sense of Chinese and some arabic, though only when printed in English letters.
I knew our languages were related, but from this experience I'd almost be willing to say we really are all just speaking variations of the same ancient tongue. Languages look more like "dialects" to me. Is this common for those who decide to try learning more than three or four languages?
The mind is always trying to make sense of incoming stimuli. Some people organize "sense" around music, others around physical activities, you around languages. And then there is the collective unconscious. There doesn't need to have been an ancient tongue in common. Humans are all genetically compatible on many levels.

Michelle – you are just the sweetest thing, I'm tellin' ya.
Just too cute for words.
I loved seeing [especially] Epcot through your eyes!
You should see the looks I get sometimes when taking photos. Some of them are taken laying down looking up at whatever it is. I'm getting braver in my old age…
(Ancient Chinese Secret, huh?
