China's Name - a post from Noah


Dear everybody it is so cool in China which was called Qin-na in ancient times. (Q sounds like ch in China)


Qin is from the emperor Qin, and the Ancient Persians added na (na means nation) to Qin to make Qin-na (Qin-na means Qin’s nation).




Long Live Emperor Qin
