I found a bunch of Chinese riddles. Read the Chinese and try to guess the word! This is VERY short, lower-intermediate reading.<br \/>  Learn to Read Chinese Online: Intermediate Chinese Character Simplified Riddles and JokesSome of the riddles I found are impossible, because not o<em><\/em>nly is the riddle hard, the answer is a kind of fruit or plant or thing I&rsquo;ve never heard of, so I&rsquo;m skipping past all those and over the next few days I&rsquo;ll post a few riddles that are answerable for those of us who didn&rsquo;t grow up in the southern Yao jungles or whatever.<br \/>  I think the most interesting word in this text is \u9752. I see this word everywher, and I&rsquo;ve never been able to come up with an English equivalent. It&rsquo;s not green, and it&rsquo;s not blue&hellip; well, it&rsquo;s not actually a color. It means &ldquo;the color that nature is&rdquo;. It can be used to describe a clear green pond. It can be used to talk a<em><\/em>bout trees or grass. So it&rsquo;s not actually a specific hue, but the word is used as if it is.
