For our English speaking friends.

A closer look of the "medal", which is a 鼎(ding), roughly the equivalent of a cauldron. In Chinese, 問鼎(inquiring of the ding) used to refer to the throne, and now means the highest honor.

On the ding is a rendition of "問鼎中原(Conquering China)" in 篆書(seal script), which is over 2000 years old.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ding_(vessel)

True, there's also a novel called 鹿鼎記 Lu Ding Ji (meaning: Tale of the Deer and Cauldron).

The "cauldron" is a reference to the story from the Zuo zhuan in which King Zhuang of Chu enquires about the Nine Tripod Cauldrons of the Zhou dynasty, symbolising his desire to seize the imperial Mandate of Heaven (楚子問鼎之大小輕重焉).

Tleague is a bad source, according to this page Harimoto is only 172cm tall, his up to date size is 175cm. I doubt Kihara is up to date.

Facepalm...

I wouldn't dismiss the others just because of that.

Miwa Harimoto is listed at 146cm in height for 2018 and 152cm for 2019. LYJ is listed at 173.5cm for 2018 and 174cm for 2019. They do keep track of it because they're consistent with what's cited in the news.

Also, Zhenzhou is said to be the birthplace of ding. The oldest ceramic ding(b/w 7000 and 9000 years old) that has ever been excavated in China was found not far from there.

PHP:


You don't have to spam every post with a random screenshot, it won't help you, it looks really dumb. One update every year isn't necessarily enough for a young player when they can grow up a couple of cm per year, it should be logical if you are clever enough.

That's the whole point I'm trying to make. You're making a scene here. Thank you for noticing.

Girls slow down/stop growing in height shortly after they hit puberty. Boys stop growing around late teens. You're dismissing all that data, you know?
