Cork

I stumbled upon an impressive family of Chinese IDNs. All these IDNs belong to Gērùn 歌润, a Company that specialises in Cork products such as flooring and wall panels. The difference between these IDNs is in the initial two characters which are the names of the cities in which this Company has stores. The website adapts content according to the IDN used to access the site. On the contact (联系方法) page there is a store location map according to the city specified in the IDN. Apart from Yìwū the maps used are Google maps.

Chinese Companies 2

In my previous article Chinese Companies I listed 100 IDN web addresses. I compiled that list of idn addresses from 1st August 2009 to 18th December 2010. Considering that China went live with IDNs on 9th July 2009 I think it impressive that in a relatively short period of time so many Chinese Companies have registered and implemented IDN web addresses. I note that mostly they implement only the Simplified Chinese form of the address even though they do also automatically receive the Traditional Chinese form when an address is registered. Considering the last list reached the 100 milestone I will now start a fresh list of Chinese Companies IDN web addresses.

Meet All

There is a Chinese Restaurant in Loughborough with the English name Meet All . It also has a Chinese name 金玉满堂 [jīn yù mǎn táng]. Bǎidù/百度 translates this into English as Treasures fill the home . I have found several references to and applications of 金玉满堂. The Chinese name of a Hong Kong comedy-drama television series. 金玉滿堂 The Chinese name of a Hong Kong Film 金玉滿堂 An inscription on a Chinese numismatic charm. 金玉滿堂 It appears in chapter 9 of the Book of Dao [道德经] by Lǎozǐ [老子] 金玉滿堂 & 金玉滿堂 Classified as an idiom [成语] by 金玉满堂 There are several registrations of 金玉满堂 and 金玉滿堂 as IDN web addresses. So far I have only found one that resolves to a website 金玉滿堂.com M-Girls have a song entitled 金玉滿堂 A Chinese Traditional/Classical instrumental 金玉滿堂 金玉满堂 is the Simplified Chinese form and 金玉滿堂 is the Traditional Chinese form. There are differences in the third character only. For the links in the list I have used the same form as the source reference. Meet All [金玉满堂 [jīn yù mǎn táng]] c...
