Hi,
This is a map of the six famous tea mountains in Yunnan province. Could someone translate the names? I know the last three characters of each are ancient tea mountain. The characters are barely legible but might be recognized by someone familiar with the area. I was expecting YiWu to be among them but I don't see the characters.
Thanks, Jim
It sounds like you are in need of some kind of translation tablet. Hmm, what would one call something like that..... I wonder.

Close but not yet correct Cathy.
No. 2 is Man Zhi, not Jie Zhi. (??). There is an printing error on the diagram Jim. Check the rest of the book.
No. 4 is Man Sa (??), not Yi Wu (??). In the old mountain series, Yi Wu was part of Man Sa mountain region, and only in the present is it the main tea proudcing area.
No. 6 is Yi Bang (??), phonetically correct, but the spelling for Bang is incorrect.
:")
These six mountains are what is known as the Northside Six Famous Tea Mountains.

Interesting NeoCathay,
However, if you look at the locations properly, you will find some discrepancies on the locations of the mountains between what Jim provided and this other guy provided.
So who's correct?
Danny
Thanks, Danny. Thank, NeoCathay. I've long suspected nobody could agree on the names or location for the 6FTM. My map came from TaoBao. I also understood YiWu to mean a mountain,city,county,area. I liked the detailed Yunnan map from NeoCathy. I wasn't expecting highways but horse trails.
Jim
PS: I haven't noticed before but welcome to the group, NeoCathay.

I noticed that printing error too. It would be less confusing if one points out and amend the error though, don't you think?
The map that Jim provided was from a book written by the boss of 6 Famous Tea Mountain Tea Company, Ms Ruan.
In the spate of rush publications to meet the tea market demands, proof reading is sorely lacking.
Danny
So the names of the 6FTM are correct with the noted proof reading corrections?
Thanks, Jim

Most of what NeoCathay translated for you are correct, the ones that are incorrect I have inserted to his thread.

Looking back it's a minor point but your Chinese character corrections got lost in non Chinese charset. If you can give me the Pinyin Vowel Numbers and brief English I can pick it up from there. I can also handle anything in GB2312 or UNICODE.
Thanks, Jim

Let me try and see if I can work this tricky thing out:
No. 2 is Mang Zhi, not Jie Zhi. (??, not ??). No. 4 is Man Sa (??), not Yi Wu (??). No. 6 is Yi Bang (??), phonetically correct, but the spelling for Bang (?) is incorrect.

Sorry, it ain't working...

Everytime I think I understand the Chinese character sets I don't. My backdoor from GB2312 to UNICODE seems to work in more than one case. Now if I can find a BIG5 equivalent. I think it odd that the Chinese gov't bets that a 4k simplified character set can handle popular media versus the 25k traditional for academics and literati.
