Before it was shut down, it was considered to be one of the most liberal blog portals in Chinese cyberspace. History Bullog.cn was founded by Luo Yonghao in 2006, because of his dissatisfaction with the censorship of the major blog portals like sina.com, sohu.com. The Chinese name, 牛博网 (simplified), 牛博網 (traditional), which literally means "Bull Blog Net", appears to be a word play on the word "Blog", since Bull means ''strong'' and ''excellent'' in colloquial Chinese. Bullog.cn started by inviting bloggers whom Luo Yonghao personally liked, who turned out to have a strong preference for liberal and scientific points of view.

Chinese Language
Chinese (, especially when referring to written Chinese) is a group of languages spoken natively by the ethnic Han Chinese majority and many minority ethnic groups in Greater China. About 1.3 billion people (or approximately 16% of the world's population) speak a variety of Chinese as their first language. Chinese languages form the Sinitic branch of the Sino-Tibetan languages family. The spoken varieties of Chinese are usually considered by native speakers to be variants of a single language. However, their lack of mutual intelligibility means they are sometimes considered separate languages in a family. Investigation of the historical relationships among the varieties of Chinese is ongoing. Currently, most classifications posit 7 to 13 main regional groups based on phonetic developments from Middle Chinese, of which the most spoken by far is Mandarin (with about 800 million speakers, or 66%), followed by Min (75 million, e.g. Southern Min), Wu (74 million, e.g. Shangh ...
