Peking Duck is a duck dish from Beijing that has been prepared since the imperial era. It is now considered the national dish of China, and has a rich history that has spanned across many dynasties. By the mid-20th century, it had garnered international attention and favor as a culinary dish.
For the dish, ducks are raised for 65 days, with 45 days spent in a free-range environment and the remaining spent in an environment where they are force-fed four times a day. Prior to cooking, they are plucked, rinsed, and pumped with air to separate their skin from their fat. The ducks are then soaked in boiling water and hung up to dry. While hung, they are glazed with a layer of maltose syrup, and are later roasted for 24 hours until their skins turn shiny brown.

ICANN 46

A special one-off Chinese language and culture card deck designed by ICANNWiki staff member Vivian Hua.

See all Playing Card Decks.

Language: Mandarin Chinese & Pinyin[edit | edit source]

Chinese words are romanized throughout this deck with a system called pīnyīn (拼音), the official system of translating Chinese characters into Latin script in China, Taiwan, and Singapore. Below are some introductory ideas.

Mandarin's Four Accent Tones

  • First tone (Flat / High Level)
  • Second tone (Rising / High-Rising)
  • Third tone (Falling-Rising / Low)
  • Fourth tone (Falling / High-Falling)
  • Fifth tone (Neutral)

Pronunciation Guide

q As in “punch yourself” (no English equivalent)
x As in “push yourself” (no English equivalent)
zh With a sharpness found in words like “choke”
z Unaspirated c, like a mix of “suds” and “cats”
c Strongly aspirated c, as in “hats”
i As in “bee”, but if proceeded by z-, c-, s-, zh-, ch-, sh-, or r-, those sounds are extended
ei As in “hey”
ou As in “so”
ang As in the German “Angst”
ua Like “wa”
ui Like “wei”

Language: Notable Chinese Dialects[edit | edit source]

Mandarin (官话 or guān huà) - 836 million Spoken in northern and southwestern China, and the official language of Singapore and Taiwan. When one refers to Putonghua or Chinese, one is generally referring to Mandarin.

Wu or Shanghainese (吴语 or wú yǔ) - 77 million Spoken in the provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and in the municipality of Shanghai. It also includes the Shanghai dialect and is sometimes considered a representative of all Wu dialects, though not all Wu dialects are mutually intelligible.

Yue or Cantonese (粤语 or yuè yǔ) - 71 million Spoken in Guangdong, Guangxi, Hong Kong, Macau, and parts of Southeast Asia. The term “Cantonese” may cover all the Yue dialects, including Taishanese, or specifically the Canton dialect of Guangzhou and Hong Kong. Not all Yue dialects are mutually intelligible.

Min languages (闽语 or mǐn yǔ) - 60 million Spoken in Fujian, Taiwan, and parts of Southeast Asia. The largest Min language is Hokkien, and its dialects are notably mutually intelligible.

Others include Xiang or Hunanese, Hakka, and Gan.
