Its interesting to see how large cultures incorporate their tradition into new technology. Is this just mainland China or also other far-eastern countries (Korea, Vietnam, etc..)? (Usually something like this is regional).
(Off topic) like what the Chinese (Mandarin) call German Shepherds:
Deguo Hei Bei
(From what I've been told by someone in China) which literally translates into "German Black Back". ( I assume that there wasn't a word for "shepherd" when it was introduced there because I think they never had a need for a shepherd dog, so they called it by it's description?).
Eh, one thing that's always caught my interest was the far-eastern culture and languages, too bad I was never able to learn them, just a few phrases in Vietnamese.
This is just one more tidbit to find "interesting".
