Celebrating five years of publishing MENG ZHAO, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF The year 2018 is a milestone for Dakai Maritimes. We’re celebrating five years of bringing great stories on business, immigrants, international students, language and culture, events, food and more within, and beyond, the Chinese community in Nova Scotia. We’ve come a long way from our initial couple of issues; being a magazinestyle publication and when the circulation was only 5,000 copies. We’ve built a strong partnership with The Chronicle Herald and have since become a tabloid inserted into the paper. We have also increased our circulation from 5,000 to 35,000,
covering most regions in the HRM. At Dakai Maritimes, we report real life stories of Chinese people who reside in the Maritime provinces. Through this journey, we’ve encountered countless people; each of whom play an important role in this multicultural, diverse and vibrant city. We’ve also connected people and businesses who look for support and growth. Halifax truly is a great city. We feel extremely lucky to have published Dakai here. As a tabloid that celebrates Chinese language and culture, we feel welcomed, included and connected. Here’s to the first five years! We’ll dedicate our next five to making an even larger impact on the communities we wish to connect with.
Dakai Maritimes is published four times per year and distributed with The Chronicle Herald and in specific neighbourhoods in HRM. Founder, Owner, Editor-in-Chief: Meng Zhao Editor and Project Manager: Baillie Saunders Translations: Fenfei Xiao Cover photo: Herald Archives

Province welcomes CanadaChina Year of Tourism ALLISON LAWLOR Knowing they come to see the province’s beautiful rugged coastline, and eat a traditional lobster dinner, Charlie Zhang is preparing to welcome even more Chinese tourists to Nova Scotia this year. “They want seafood. The image of Nova Scotia in China is lobster,” said the owner of Piyao International
Travel, which has offices in Halifax and Toronto. “They want to come here to enjoy the ocean.” With the Canadian and Chinese governments declaring 2018 the CanadaChina Year of Tourism, more Chinese tourists are expected, not just in Nova Scotia, but across the country. “This has really galvanized the tourism

加中旅游年看新省中国游客 翻译：肖芬菲
越来越多的中国游客喜欢来到新斯科舍 这个美丽海洋省，来吃这里的传统龙虾 大餐。今年Charlie Zhang准备迎接更 多中国游客的到来。 “许多中国游客喜欢有海的地方。在他 们的印象中，新斯科舍省就代表着海 鲜,” 貔貅国际旅行社的负责人Charlie 告诉我们。“他们来到这里，是为了感 受海洋的热情。” 去年年底，加拿大和中国政府宣布， 2018将是加拿大和中国的旅游年，预 计将有更多的中国人来加拿大旅游，这 其中也包括新斯科舍省。

飞中国的航班。”她说：“我知道这是 每个人都期待的。”
指示。“我希望让游客们感到我们欢迎 他们的热情，”Charlie说。
“我认为这将会是两位数的增长率，” Saran说：“这是我们进入中国市场的 好时机。”
虽然Charlie很希望看到中国直达哈利 法克斯的航班，但他不确定新斯科舍省 现有的人口能足以支撑这个计划。他的 旅游公司为来自安大略省的中国游客提 供巴士旅游服务。他说：“从多伦多坐 旅游大巴来新斯科舍省比转机要便 宜。”
为了更好地将新斯科舍省推进中国旅游 市场，一个省政府拨款、耗资 500,000 美元的计划正在实施中。新斯科舍省正 在北京招募市场代表与中国各地旅游运 营商沟通，推广新斯科舍 省。
中国不仅是世界上最大的游客来源地， 中国游客更是国际旅游最大的消费者群 体。2016年，610,100名中国游客访问 了加拿大, 花费了近1.5亿美元。加拿大 是第三大旅游市场，仅落后于美国与英 国。加拿大政府希望深入挖掘这个不断 增长的市场，在渥太华设定了一个目 标，希望在2021年，加拿大的中国游 客数量增加一倍。
“这确实有效刺激了旅游产业。“新斯 科舍省旅游首席执行官MicheleSaran 说。
为了实现旅游市场的增长，联邦政府最 近在中国新开了七个签证申请中心。中 国游客可以在中国11个城市直飞加拿 大。Saran说，目前政府正在与中国商 榷更多的直达航班联通中国与加拿大城 市。
去年，超过11%的中国游客来到加拿

为了迎接更多来省内的游客，新斯科舍 省旅游业向本省企业和旅游运营商提供 贸易准备项目，其重点放在制作中文网 站、信息和商业标识等方面，还将对手 机应用支付以及中国社交软件平台，包 括微博、微信、百度等媒体营销，给出 指导性意见。 为了庆祝加拿大与中国的旅游年，政府 设计了专门的徽标，并鼓励商家将徽标 展示在橱窗以示对中国游客的欢迎。 Charlie希望哈法的商家也把徽标贴出 来，并在哈利法克斯国际机场看到中文
“大家现在都知道我们拥有美丽的海岸 线。”Saran说。 五月，Saran和同事们将欢迎1800名来 自世界各地的旅游业的专家们来到哈利 法克斯。这其中包括一个来自中国的大 型代表团，参加一年一度的加拿大特色 体验（Destination Canada）活动。对 于这个向世界展示新斯科舍省 的机会, Saran感到激动。她还特别期待这期间 的一些特别活动，例如在芬 迪湾（Bay of Fundy）用餐。 她说：“我们是与众不同的，大家将 迫不及待地想来体验。”

Tourism CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2 industry,” said Michele Saran, CEO of Tourism Nova Scotia. Last year, 11 per cent more Chinese tourists came to Canada, and Saran expects similar growth this year. “I don’t think it will be less than double digit growth going forward,” said Saran. “It’s a great time to be in the China market.” China is not only the world’s largest source of tourists, but the country’s tourists are known to be the largest spenders in international tourism. In 2016, 610,100 Chinese tourists visited Canada and spent about $1.5 billion. Now Canada’s third-largest tourism source market, behind the United States and the United Kingdom, the Canadian government wants to further tap into this growing market. Ottawa has set a goal of doubling the number of Chinese tourists coming to Canada by 2021. To make it easier, the federal government recently opened seven new visa application centres in China. Currently, Chinese tourists can fly to Canada from 11 cities in China, and talks are underway with Chinese carriers to include more direct flights to Canadian cities, said Saran. “We would be absolutely thrilled to see a direct flight from Halifax to China,” she said. “I know it is something that everyone wants.” While Zhang would love to see a direct flight to Halifax, he isn’t sure the province’s population is big enough to sustain one. Zhang’s travel agency
offers bus tours to Chinese tourists coming from Ontario. Getting to Nova Scotia by tour bus is a cheaper option than taking a connecting flight from Toronto, he said. To get ready for more Chinese tourists, Tourism Nova Scotia is offering Nova Scotia businesses and tourism operators trade readiness programs, focusing on things like the benefits of having Chinese-language websites, information and signage at businesses. They will also provide advice on offering mobile payment applications popular in China, and the benefits of marketing on Chinese social media such as Weibo, WeChat or Baidu. Nationally there is a logo to commemorate the Canada-China Year of Tourism and local businesses are encouraged to put it in their windows to welcome Chinese visitors. Zhang would love to see some Chinese signage and instructions at the Halifax Stanfield International Airport. “It would make people feel welcome when they arrive,” he said. Plans are underway to better market Nova Scotia to the Chinese tourism market. With an additional $500,000 from the province, Tourism Nova Scotia is hiring a Beijing-based marketing representative who can speak Mandarin and work with tour operators in China, letting them know what Nova Scotia has to offer. “They know we have this beautiful, pristine coastline,” said Saran. In May, Saran and her colleagues will welcome to Halifax about 1,800 tourism professionals from around the world, including a large delegation from China, for an annual Destination Canada event. She is excited for the

China Program helps local entrepreneurs to start business in China LU XU A panel discussion on how to do business in China was held on Feb. 26. Seven panellists shared their own experience on exporting products to China and understanding Chinese business culture to a full house at the Halifax Central Library. Local entrepreneurs, scholars and politicians gathered at the Paul O’regan Hall to learn about the prospect and the skills in landing business in China. The director of International Relations Buddy Walzak gave a warm opening remark about the province’s effort in fostering a “win-win” relationship with China. “I feel very optimistic about the future with China and with Nova Scotia,”
“I feel very optimistic about the future with China and with Nova Scotia.” Buddy Walzak Director of International Relations
Walzak commented in an interview with Dakai Maritimes. He said the government wants to make sure that it’s helping businesses to foster the relationship. Bernadette Hamilton-Reid is a local business woman and the seventh gen-
eration African Nova Scotian. She owns a store that sells Afrocentric products such as clothing and jewelry. Her store has been around for 25 years. Hamilton-Reid said that everything she saw in stores was always made in China. “I would love to have a trip there one day, just to see the factories,” Hamilton-Reid said she was satisfied with the Chinese-made products and would want to take the opportunity to build connections. The event was hosted by Nova Scotia International Network Society. It is the kick-start of a series of events under the China Program, a program that’s supported by NSINS and four other organizations. Participants will have a chance to win a free trip to China at the end of the program.
Buddy Walzak said that Shandong and Guangdong Province are the two key provinces that the government wanted to focus on. GOSKY Production Media Ltd. 巴德渥扎克部长指出，政府将合作关系 重点放在山东和广东两省。（照片由达 云文化传播有限公司提供。)

The‘犬(dog)’symbol and its related Chinese characters QIANYI GAO We have just entered the Year of the Dog. When celebrating the Lunar New Year last month, a Chinese character-'狗'(gou) was found on many posters. Yes, the character means ‘dog’. Apart from countless topics on how dogs are 'best friend of mankind', let us look from the perspective of the Chinese characters. Just like the character‘狗’, many characters for animals have a dog radical. 猫(mao=cat),狐(hu=fox),狼(lang=wolf ) ,狮(shi=lion) and猴(hou=monkey), to name a few. In most cases, a Chinese Character with a dog radical refers to an animal -- its name, temperament, or behavior.
The dog radical symbol. 反犬旁。
The Characters with a dog radical refer to or describe some rude or violent behavior. For example, 犯(fan) means invade; 犷(guang) means rude or brutle, 狂（kuang） means madness.
But initially these words specifically referred to the behavior of dogs. 犯(fan) meant that a dog violated people. 犷meant that a dog of being fierce. 狂(kuang) meant that a dog being insane. These characters have the same structure as the‘狗’or dog character. The left dog radical means 'animal'; whereas the right '句', '广' and '王' are pronunciations for each character. The dog radical came from the character‘犬quan’, which meant "big dog" in ancient Chinese. Interestingly, in Japanese, the kanji‘犬-inu’also means "dog". ‘犬’ is also a component for creating Chinese characters. Daily words, such as cry (哭ku), awards (奖jiang), offer (献xian) are examples. But initially‘哭cry’refers to the dog
crying,‘奖award’refers to pushing dogs to run, and‘献offering’refers to the dog sacrifice. Other words such as 吠(fei), 獒(ao) etc, refer to dog's behavior or temperament. 吠(fei) means dog barking. 獒(ao) is a kind of dog, or a fierce dog. However, this kind of characters are less in quantity than those with a dog radical. No matter if a character is with a犬 part or with a dog radical, few people realize that many of them were originally dog-related as human life has been completely changed. Our relationship with animals, especially with dogs, are also different from the past. However, when we look up the ancient dictionaries, we would rediscover some interesting facts. The Chinese characters continue to tell us those fascinating ancient stories.
