Recently, there is a surge of visits on one specific post in my blog: The best cartoon series: Avatar The Last Airbender.
This post was published on March 18, 2010. The visitors for this post jumped from merely 4 in March and 5 in April, to 32 in May and 78 in June, and further to 500 in July. And more visitors keep coming everyday in August.
Since I didn’t do any advertisement about my blog, all these visits were sent organically by searching engines, like Google, Yahoo, MSN, Ask, and etc. Many visitors used the keywords “avatar the last airbender map” to find this post.
As a big fan of this cartoon series Avatar The Last Airbender, I am so glad that more and more people become fans.
Because the show borrows heavily of Asian philosophy, martial art, calligraphy and mythology, as well as demonstrates a profound understanding of the essence of Chinese culture, I believe this show helps spread interests about Asian culture, especially Chinese culture.
I was impressed to see the production team paid great attention into lots of details. For an instance, all the written characters appearing in the show, including correspondence, scrolls, textbooks, calendars, theater posters, and shop names, are carefully crafted in ancient Chinese scripts.
Lots of background music is played using Chinese ancient musical instruments, such as guzheng, pipa, erhu, dizi, xiao, and etc. And the fighting choreography used in the show, which is based on a certain real-world martial arts style, is pretty accurately depicted and presented.
It will be great if the show Avatar The Last Airbender is translated into Chinese. I will definitely put the Chinese version into my bilingual bookstore.
