They are highly innervated with little nerves whose sole job is to provide sensation from them. These are the joints in your spine that allow you to twist and bend forward, backward and sideways.

Types of Chinese characters. Traditionally Chinese characters are divided into six categories (å­æ¸ liÃ¹shÅ« Six Writings). This classification is often attributed to Xu Shen's second century dictionary Shuowen Jiezi, but it has been dated earlier. This page shows four of those categories.
There are over 100,000 Chinese characters recorded in the most advanced Mandarin Chinese dictionaries. New Chinese symbols are developed all the time, so the amount of Chinese characters never stops increasing. Pinyin is a way to write Mandarin Chinese with the Roman alphabet. In Chinese, pinyin literally means spelled sound. Pinyin is used in most Chinese language institutes to teach Mandarin as a second language. It's a way to read Chinese without having to know the characters.
