To learn mandarin is not only about learning language itself. It is even more important if you can learn some useful knowledge from Chinese culture. It’ll give your language learning great help for sure.

Today I’d like to introduce a group of cool Chinese names for each age group. These names were created by ancient Chinese that do reflect the main spirit of each age group. See which “name” you’re under now?

The most frequent used names in Chinese articles are 立, 不惑, 天命 and 古稀. If you do a search of any of the above name, you’ll see they are being used all over the place. After this post, you should be able to accurately figure out what age group it is implying next time you read about any of those words.
