Chlorophane image

On Nov. 23, 2018, you added the image, Fluorite, var. Chlorophane.jpg, to the chlorophane article. The image in a double image and I assume the left is under daylight and the right is under UV lighting from the image page. Could you add a bit to the image caption regarding the light source of the two? Thanks, Vsmith (talk) 02:02, 23 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much. I'd mistakenly switched the image for Thermolumine.png, which is now corrected. Any other suggestions or corrections would be welcome. Keahapana (talk) 02:00, 24 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Medicinal mushrooms, anyone?

Dish with Magu, deity of longevity, China, Jingdezhen, Jiangxi province, Qing dynasty, approx. 1700-1800 AD, porcelain with overglaze polychrome.

Keahapana, thank you. Dcattell (talk) 06:50, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Love this image, and just added it into Magu. Mmm-magu tasty, three 'shrooms with an herbal garnish. What do you think? Red A. muscaria, brown G. lucidum, and what's the purple one? Keahapana (talk) 22:26, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

夜光杯

"Luminous gemstones" looking good! The poets and wine-drinkers seem to have made use of them, as "night luminescing cups". Wang Han is a well-known example. Dcattell (talk) 18:00, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I started an article on luminous pearls but found so much material that I offloaded the luminous gemstones. Started Marquis of Sui's pearl and now revising (obscurely named) He Shi Bi. Keahapana (talk) 22:26, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Also

"Indra's net" article is worth looking at, in the context of luminous gemstones. Dcattell (talk) 18:36, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea, linked under See also. Keahapana (talk) 22:26, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Wonderful smile

"Eating rice, China"

Here's a Commons image that I came across looking up Duchenne smile. From Berthold Laufer's Jacob Schiff China expedition (1901-1904). Best wishes, Keahapana (talk) 22:45, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"Mr. He's jade"

I like the information on Tai'e or Tai'a (太阿), however it is unclear to me why it is included here, per the text. Best, Dcattell (talk) 20:12, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. The Shiji and Chuci quotes mention it with He's jade. Did you get my email reply through WP? Keahapana (talk) 23:30, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I did get the email. Thanks! The reason I was asking about the Taia sword is mostly because I have been contributing some to an article Weapons and armor in Chinese mythology, which has some general sections on various weapons and armor.

This article is an excellent start. Good work! These zh cats might be of use
