Chinese and Taiwanese Gameshows


Recommended Posts

Posted

I'm curious about game shows from other countries-I have seen Japanese and British ones here in the US. What are gameshows like in China and Taiwan? Are there any I can watch in English subtitles? Which ones should I watch and download?

Not with English subtitles, but I recently saw one on CCTV4 which was based on seal carving and caligraphy. Contestants had to carve seals against the clock, read them blind folded, read them quickly from the seal (i.e. mirror image) whilst it was on a turntable, reproduce them from only a brief look, paint characters in mirror image form, etc.

A lot of this used the ancient seal forms of the characters, rather than the modern ones.

I once saw a game show that looked almost exactly like The Price is Right in America. There were no subtitles, but from what I could understand, it's basically the same. Very interesting.

I don't remember what channel is was on, but I was in China.
