西藏拉薩宗角祿康公園 Tibet Lhasa Zongjiaolukang Park
宗角祿康位於布達拉山後，湖泊旁邊種植著古柳樹，景色迷人。藏語「宗角」意思為「宮堡後面」（宮堡指布達拉宮），「祿康」意為「祿神（今譯魯神）殿」。魯神是藏傳佛教和苯教對居於地下及水中的一類神靈之統稱。「魯神」常被漢譯為「龍神」，進而被誤傳為漢人所稱的龍王，所以漢語俗稱宗角祿康中的湖為「龍王潭」。
Zongjiao Lukang is located behind the Potala Mountain. The lake is lined with ancient willow trees, and the scenery is charming. The Tibetan word zongjiao means behind the palace (the palace refers to the Potala Palace), and Lukang means the temple of the god Lu (now translated as Lu). Lu God is the collective name of Tibetan Buddhism and Bonism for a group of deities living in the ground and water. Lushen is often translated as Dragon God by Chinese, and is then misinformed to be called the Dragon King by the Chinese. Therefore, the lake in Zongjiao Lukang is commonly called Longwangtan in Chinese.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The Xinhai Revolution (Chinese: 辛亥革命; pinyin: Xīnhài Gémìng), also known as the Chinese Revolution or the Revolution of 1911, was a revolution that overthrew China's last imperial dynasty (the Qing dynasty) and established the Republic of China (ROC). The revolution was named Xinhai (Hsin-hai) because it occurred in 1911, the year of the Xinhai (辛亥; metal pig) stem-branch in the sexagenary cycle of the Chinese calendar.The revolution consisted of many revolts and uprisings. The turning point was the Wuchang uprising on 10 October 1911, which was the result of the mishandling of the Railway Protection Movement. The revolution ended with the abdication of the six-year-old Last Emperor, Puyi, on 12 February 1912, that marked the end of 2,000 years of imperial rule and the beginning of China's early republican era.
The revolution arose mainly in response to the decline of the Qing state, which had proven ineffective in its efforts to modernize China and confront foreign aggression. Many underground anti-Qing groups, with the support of Chinese revolutionaries in exile, tried to overthrow the Qing. The brief civil war that ensued was ended through a political compromise between Yuan Shikai, the late Qing military strongman, and Sun Yat-sen, the leader of the Tongmenghui (United League). After the Qing court transferred power to the newly founded republic, a provisional coalition government was created along with the National Assembly. However, political power of the new national government in Beijing was soon thereafter monopolized by Yuan and led to decades of political division and warlordism, including several attempts at imperial restoration.
The Republic of China in Taiwan and the People's Republic of China on the mainland both consider themselves the legitimate successors to the Xinhai Revolution and honor the ideals of the revolution including nationalism, republicanism, modernization of China and national unity. 10 October is commemorated in Taiwan as Double Ten Day, the National Day of the ROC. In mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau, the day is celebrated as the Anniversary of the Xinhai Revolution.
