Our family tradition of names dates back centuries, to the Song dynasty, with every generation's name taking a different character from a poem Ming-Chong-Shu (ph), and, in my generation's case, Te.

The exquisite scenes in the series showing life during the Song Dynasty has also attracted audience attention and received many compliments in reviews.
Our favourite delicacies at present such as ham, braised pork, shabu-shabu, sashimi, popcorn, dianxin, rice cake were all invented or popularized in the Song dynasty.
Many calligraphies paintings and poetry in the Song dynasty reached the peak of art and became masterpieces that have been passed down from generation to generation.
