What age does doukou nianhua refer to?
In one of his poems,Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu compared girls around the age of 13 to blooming cardamom （豆蔻） flowers. Since then,people have used the phrase to refer to teenage girls of this age.
Rather than using numbers,ancient Chinese people described someone's age using titles （称谓）. For example,Chuitiao,meaning "straight hair",referred to children from 3 to 8 years old. Chuitiao was a popular hairstyle for children of these ages.
Zongjiao,meaning "twisted （缠绕的） horn （角）",described children from 9 to 14 years old. Back then,children would comb their hair into two halves and twist each half into a knot. They looked like two horns on their heads.
Shufa,meaning a child ties his hair up,was used for boys who had reached the age of 15.
Ruoguan,or "junior cap" was used for young men in their twenties. These men would attend a hat-wearing ceremony when they turned 20,showing that they had become an adult.

At the age of 40,one has no doubts about the world.
When a man turned 50,he reached "the year of understanding the fate （命运）of heaven". It means he has become aware of his fate and will no longer make any useless efforts.

Was it probable that Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai and Western hero King Arthur meet and fight against each other? Yes. In a game called King of Glory(王者荣耀). Created by Chinese company Tencent,King of Glory was one of the most popular MOBA games in China in 2017.
About one in every seven Chinese people plays the game, and 55 million of them play it every day. The game is easy for beginners. Social media like QQ and WeChat have also helped the game's community grow. New players can be invited to play the game by their WeChat contacts(联系人),with some seeing it as a good way to keep in touch with old friends and make new ones.
The game has more than 60 characters to unlock and play as you progress,each with their own special style and abilities. The characters cover different times and countries.

From July 4,2017,children under 12 years old can play the game for only one hour a day,while users between 12 and 18 get two hours. Those who try to play beyond the time limit will be locked out of the game.
