2001 Taiwanese Television Series Endings
1 (one, unit, unity) is a number representing a single or the only entity. 1 is also a numerical digit and represents a single unit of counting or measurement. For example, a line segment of ''unit length'' is a line segment of length 1. In conventions of sign where zero is considered neither positive nor negative, 1 is the first and smallest positive integer. It is also sometimes considered the first of the infinite sequence of natural numbers, followed by 2, although by other definitions 1 is the second natural number, following 0. The fundamental mathematical property of 1 is to be a multiplicative identity, meaning that any number multiplied by 1 equals the same number. Most if not all properties of 1 can be deduced from this. In advanced mathematics, a multiplicative identity is often denoted 1, even if it is not a number. 1 is by convention not considered a prime number; this was not universally accepted until the mid-20th century. Additionally, 1 is ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Kung Fu
Chinese martial arts, often called by the umbrella terms kung fu (; ), kuoshu () or wushu (), are multiple fighting styles that have developed over the centuries in Greater China. These fighting styles are often classified according to common traits, identified as "families" of martial arts. Examples of such traits include ''Shaolinquan'' () physical exercises involving All Other Animals () mimicry or training methods inspired by Old Chinese philosophies, religions and legends. Styles that focus on qi manipulation are called ''internal'' (; ), while others that concentrate on improving muscle and cardiovascular fitness are called ''external'' (; ). Geographical association, as in ''northern'' (; ) and ''southern'' (; ), is another popular classification method. Terminology ''Kung fu'' and ''wushu'' are loanwords from Cantonese and Mandarin respectively that, in English, are used to refer to Chinese martial arts. However, the Chinese terms ''kung fu'' and ''wushu'' (; ) ha ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (novel)
''Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon'' () is a Chinese novel serialized between 16 March 1941 and 6 March 1942 by Wang Dulu on '' Qingdao Xinmin News'', China. It is the fourth work of a pentalogy that are collectively called the ''Crane Iron'' Pentalogy. Adaptations *The 1959 Taiwanese film ''Luo Xiaohu and Yu Jiaolong'' (羅小虎與玉嬌龍) is definitely an adaptation given its title. This is most likely a lost film. *Yueh Feng's 1967 Hong Kong film ''Rape of the Sword'' is also believed by many, including Yuen Woo-ping (action choreographer for Ang Lee's film), to be an adaptation of the novel, even though it doesn't explicitly state so, nor is it set in the Qing dynasty. It has been noted that during the early Cultural Revolution it was impossible for the Shaw Brothers Studio (located in British Hong Kong) to get in contact with Wang Dulu (who lived in mainland China) to acquire the film rights. *Ang Lee's 2000 film ''Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon'' is loosely based on this bo ...
