Truth is a variant based upon perception. Ignorance is derived from a lack of insight into others' perspectives.

No. The cows are used to rush enemy. They truss tinder on the cows' tail and light it. To let these cows run forward crazily.

The first pic is probably about the cunning Qi general's counterattack against Yan in the warring states era.  The Yan kingdom had taken all but one of the holdings of Qi kingdom, and it was suppose to be just a matter of time the Qi was to be annihilated.  A Qi general then used this flaming cow tactic, along with few thousand shock troops assaulted the surrounding enemy encampment thus routing the Yan and saving the Qi.

The kanji for Yan was also the name of that quick bird who set nests on house roofs and has a slit wing.  Yan kingdom was during the warring states so it was during the warring states(zhan guo) era of China.  It existed between time of the Zhou kingdom's split until the domination of the Qing over the rest.  Around 475BC--221 BC.

I am sure some people study Chinese history in Mongolia.  After all, a neighbour with so much historical interactions cannot possibly be ignored. 

As for me, I read a book trilogy called "Above and Below 5000 Years".  The trilogy pretty much summed up all important events of China from Yao and Shun, until the Opium War.  The trilogy was in Mandarin Chinese, but luckily I learned Mandarin when I was little.  Too bad I can't speak Cantonese though.

Chinese is all the same in writing. The different dialects are just differeny ways of pronoucing the words. However, if we want, we can write in the way we speak in Cantonese and people from Mailand China and Taiwan will find it very weird and hard to understand. This is unfortunately what many magazines in Hong Kong are doing. That's why many students in Hong Kong are bad at Chinese as well as English. Many of them are just bad at language in general.
