Marco Polo missed scallion pancakes so much that when he was back in Italy, he tried to find chefs willing to make the pancake for him. One day, he managed to meet a chef from Naples at a friend's dinner party and persuaded him to try recreating the dish. After half a day without success, Marco Polo suggested the filling be put on top rather than inside the dough. The change, by chance, created a dish praised by everyone at the party. The chefs returned to Naples and improvised by adding cheese and other ingredients and formed today's pizza.

I am aware there is a homework section, but posting it here would probably be better >.<
I need to hand in a short essay regarding an analysis of the following poem:
阴阳赋
黑暗西天追斜阳,
残阳落日泛金黄。
昼夜阴阳终轮回,
明朝东方又怎样。
--韦西龙和王禹奇
But I don't understand any Chinese.
Would someone be kind enough to give a basic understanding of what's the poem about?
Thank you very much.

normally i'm pretty good with crossovers from language to language. but i always mess up when it comes to names from asian countries. i know this person, their facebook profile has the english name (chinese name) setup on their profile.. it looks like Xiaowei Dong (董晓玮). of course in english we know it as Xiaowei Dong but translation from chinese goes to Dong Xiaowei. i'm embarassed to ask this but is the person's first name Xiaowei or is the first name Dong when speaking in english? and i am a friend that is permitted to use first name basis.
also my chinese is very rough but does 董晓玮 mean something like "Small Throne of the East"?
Asked by Sam -

I'm currently trying to learn Chinese (I put the quotes because I don't recognize 'nationality'), and the books and audio I'm learning from give nouns for Chinese translation.
Also, I've picked up on different constructed languages, and I haven't come across any language that doesn't use nouns.
Yet, I heard an Alan Watts presentation the other day that described Chinese as having no nouns ("I can't recall a single instance of a noun in Chinese"). Alan described the idea of nouns, or objectifying, as a purely "Western" thing.
Is this true??
How do "Chinese" go about communicating without nouns?
It's easy for me to see no nouns in some instances, but not for all. Would there be anything like pronouns still used?
Thanks for your help!
