Koi is a kind of fish. If you live in Utah, you will know that carp is a big problem in Utah lake. Koi are carp. They are not just carp, but instead of the brown, which can also be arranged, there is also vibrant colors of gold, silver, white, and other colors. A massive silver one I saw cost three thousand yuan. 7 yuan is one dollar. You can find large bowls for carp in some people's yards. there is a gadget to the top left of the screen of some fish like Koi. You can find these fish in all public lakes, ponds, and even canals.

about this blog

This blog is me, trying to get you, ( and helping myself ) understand chinese people, and culture through the games and other stuff that they do. The name of my blog is xiangqiness. I named it that because of the game xiang qi, also known as Chinese chess. This is a short(eighteen minute)game of chess. Enjoy. The black side wins. That's the side I'm playing. You can find people all over crouching over crudely carved pieces made of wood. They play on the daily newspaper board. Here's a video of me and one of these people.
