Talk:Deshengmen

message: While I do not doubt the accuracy of the translation from Manchu, it is unlikely that the name Deshengmen is itself a translation from the Manchu title. The gate is an extant structure built during the Ming Dynasty, by which time the name "Desheng" had already stuck. According to , the '德' was specifically selected as an auspicious homophone of the otherwise literal "得胜", which means "to triumph." --Taoster
:I know that in this case, the Manchu name is most likely a translation of the Chinese, but I am not sure that the character 德 was chosen because its sounds like 得. The article you quoted sounds more like a collection of popular history to me. Read this  for instance, which is a page from an archive in Beijing. --Niohe 01:30, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Besides Moral Triumph is much weaker than Triumph by Virtue. 德 is usually translated as 'virtue' in English.--Niohe 11:53, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That article says nothing of the origins of the name. Furthermore, both 'virtue' and 'morality' have more or less the same meaning in this context, and so can be used interchangeably. As for the homophone theory, take a look at the corresponding Chinese Wikipedia article. --Taoster 10:13, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Perhaps the best way is to find an academic source or two as to how the name is usually translated into English? --Sumple (Talk) 10:30, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't want this to become just another semantics debate, but usually 德 is translated into "virtue" in English. Morality is a very vague and general term referring to moral princples, whereas virtue refers to the quality of a person or a group of persons. Presumably the emperors that sanctioned the name of the gate were referring to the virtues of themselves and their rule - not to morality in general. When I have time, I will go and check book on old Beijing, I'll keep you posted.--Niohe 12:53, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

text: I just checked the Ming Veritable Records (明實錄), according to juan 35 for the first year of the Hongwu reign, the name of the gate was changed from Jiandemen 建德門 (Gate of establishing virtue) to Deshengmen on October 12, 1368. In other words, the change of name implied that the Ming had triumphed over Yuan because of its superior virtue. The Manchus were indeed good translators from Chinese. --Niohe 16:20, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Now, i believe this was a solid F4 in strength, but is it possible for a tornado with a rating of F4 to have some F5 damage, or to be an F5 "briefly"? Here's an example of the destruction the Windsor Tornado did that the Windsor Star claims to be "marginal F5 damage": http://www.on.ec.gc.ca/canwarn/images/3.jpg.  RingtailedFox • Talk • Stalk 19:17, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Almost all F5 tornadoes are only an F5 briefly.  Often only one or two structures recieve F5 damage, and that is the basis for rating the tornado.  I can't remember the source, but I read that on average, only 1% of an F5 tornado's damage path is actual F5 damage.
As for the Windsor Tornado, it was not an F5.  Additionally, in the picture above, the house is not swept clean, and looking at the concrete blocks which don't appear to have any mortar on them, the foundation of this structure was not reinforced in the least.  Do you have a link to the newspaper article?  While they are not an authoritative source on rating tornadoes, it would be nice to see what they have to say. -RunningOnBrains 17:46, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I have reverted the flag in this article to one of the versions without the "modern" design, the change to which was made in 2010 by an anonymous editor and which was simply never addressed again. There is no evidence that the specific design of the ermine spots on that version were any more prevalent or relevant than any other version, and indeed, I believe they were significantly less common. The design has since become more common, but that is by way of others taking the flag displayed on this very page. I attempted to contact the original uploader of the version on Wikimedia Commons regarding their inspiration, and was ignored. I have taken a negative inference from this, namely that the original uploader designed the new spots on their own. Lexicon (talk) 19:12, 26 August 2021 (UTC)
