山东蓝翔高级技工学校的学生在接受挖掘机驾驶训练。每年都有三万名机修工、理发师和焊工在山东蓝翔高级技工学校接受培训，该校的广告标语铺天盖地，“挖掘机学校哪家强，中国山东找蓝翔”很快就成了网络流行语。

真相：

This is “Biang” — the most complicated character of all time — and it contains at least 56 strokes. Well, Chinese themselves still have arguments over how to write it correctly, understandably. It’s an unofficial word created to represent a popular Shaanxi noodle, Biang Biang Noodle.
”Biang“这个字是有史以来最复杂的字，笔画有56笔之多。当然，中国人本身也对这个字的正确写法争议颇多，这也可以理解。这个字不是正式的文字，造出来是为了代表陕西颇受欢迎的一道面点，叫”biang biang面“。

Chinese jump rope can get extremely intricate and physically demanding, yet it’s about teamwork and rhythm. Chinese kids in the 1980s were obsessed with it, especially the girls.

In reality, this is a gorgeous — but dying — form of Chinese fireworks. Poor blacksmiths in the town of Nuanquan, in Hebei, found that if they hurled molten iron at the old city wall, it exploded in a shower of sparks in the cold night air. They donned sheepskins and straw hats to protect themselves, and used spoons made of hard willow wood to hurl the iron.The practice is called “dashuhua (打树花),” which means “throwing tree fireworks.”
事实上，这是绚丽的中国式烟花，现在濒临灭绝。河北省暖泉镇的铁匠们发现，要是把熔融的铁水挥向古老的城墙，铁水便会在寒夜的空气中如火花般绽放迸溅。铁匠们披上羊皮，戴上草帽来保护自己，用坚硬的柳木勺来挥洒铁水。这一习俗即”打树花“，意为”投掷树木烟花“。

老外说：

"Those look like sheep and cats, but my real question is why there’s poop in the title. "

"It’s about some sheep that are bad at surfing and regularly get ridiculed by cats."
”讲的是冲浪水平很差的羊群一直被猫嘲笑的故事。“

So this is actually a cartoon called Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf. It tells an absurd ongoing story about how Grey Wolf fails to please his wife Red Wolf by catching a single sheep in 1,342 episodes but hasn’t starved to death, miraculously. Red Wolf is smarter but never bothers to hunt. The sheep have even been thrown into boiled water repeatedly but of course came out unscathed. And the poop? WE HAVE NO IDEA.
其实这是部卡通片，名为《喜羊羊与灰太狼》。1342集的剧集里不断讲述着灰太狼总是抓不到那只羊，因此无法取悦老婆红太狼的荒诞故事。奇迹的是，它们至今都没饿死。红太狼更聪明些，但从来不用捕猎。羊群多次被扔进沸水中，但次次毫毛无损。至于便便？我们也不知道。
