Chinese Marriage Traditions
Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009
Henry KH Fong asked:
The procedures of an ancient Chinese marriage are captured in the phrase “Three (3) Letters and Six (6) Etiquettes”.
What are the three letters?
The Three Letters are the engagement letter, the delivery of gifts letter and the taking of the bride letter.
In ancient times, if a man is interested in a woman, he will engage a middlemen (a middle-women actually) to explore the possibility and if appropriate to convey his intentions to the woman’s family. If the woman’s family finds him acceptable, they will notify him and he can make the official proposal by delivering the formal letter of engagement on an auspicious date.
At this stage the women’s family can still say no to the proposal. As you would expect there are still a lot of things to sort out and to negotiate over.
If the proposal is accepted, the next step is to deliver wedding gifts to the woman’s family. These wedding gifts which are normally expensive are accompanied by the ‘Delivery of Gift’ letter which is essentially a list of items and quantity much like a delivery order! By signing this letter and taking delivery of the gifts, it signifies the women’s family acceptance of the marriage.
The itemized ‘Delivery of Gift’ letter is also a safeguard against pilferage by the delivery team!
The third letter is known as the ‘Taking the Bride’ Letter as it is the letter that the groom produces when he arrives at the bride’s home on the wedding day. Upon acceptance of the letter, the bride is deemed to have joined the groom and become a member of the groom’s family.
It is no wonder why the bride mothers weep uncontrollably on wedding days. It is like losing a daughter!
What then are the Six Etiquettes?
It refers to the six main procedures in an ancient Chinese marriage. It includes the official proposal, the checking of Ba Zi (compatibility using a system of Chinese Astrology), selection of auspicious date for the wedding, delivery of gifts, confirmation of wedding dates and finally the wedding itself.
Once the man has set his eyes on the girl, he sends an official proposal to the woman’s family. Once the proposal is accepted, he will seek the services of an astrologer to determine if they are compatible. Research will also be done to ensure that there is no blood relationship between them. At this stage the engagement can be called off if they are not compatible or if their blood line are somewhat connected.
The next step is the selection of auspicious date for wedding followed by followed by the delivery of gifts.
After the gifts are accepted, the woman’s family will seek an astrologer to check the auspiciousness of the proposed wedding.
This followed by the six and final etiquette, the wedding itself!
Date Russian Woman – Are There Any Pick-Up Tricks
Thursday, September 17th, 2009
Peter Finch asked:
Have you been in love with a Russian? Here are three good pieces of advice if you plan to go for a girlfriend like Kournikova or Lena from Tatu.
You may have dreamed the tennis player Anna Kournikova, or you have discussed the charm of Maria Sharapova and surely you will notice Elena Dementieva next time when you watch the sports channels. What do they have in common? Yes, tennis is one of the things and the other is that they are all Russians!
Russian woman are characterized with sporty figures (without all of them being tennis players, you see), killer blue eyes and a great walk. If you look at Fashion TV you will be amazed how many women from the ex-soviet union are super models and adored by the designers these days.
Another fine example of stage performers and celebrities but in the entertainment industry, are the fierce brunette Julia and the sprightly redhead Lena, both of them forming the duet Tatu. Not long ago they toured USA and broke millions of hearts! Don’t you dream of having such a lovely wife?
Now you know that actually all your life you wanted to date Russian. But what will she like in you?
First of all learn a few phrases in Russian.
The Russian language uses the Cyrillic alphabet which is totally different from the Latin. Russian words are pronounced with softness and you might find it heard in the beginning but work hard and your efforts will be paid off. “Zdrastvui” and “Privet” are used for saying “Hello”; if you want to make a compliment, tell your date that “Tiy preekrahsnah vigleedeesh!” this means “You look lovely” and if you say it right she will fall for you immediately.
Romance her!
Russian women love small acts of romance. They can knit a sweater for you instead of going to a shop and buying it, just because they love you and doing something especially for you intends to prove their affection.
In return they will appreciate a rose of something hand made. Romantic gestures should be made from both sides. Of course you will not be expected to sew, but at a later stage when you know each other better, some French perfume or lingerie will make her jump with joy.
Call her!
Do not pretend that you are too busy. Russian women, need your attention 24/7 otherwise soon someone else could enjoy their attention. No matter the difference today, regular phone services have low-cost competition.
Use IP telephones or other alternative telecoms to talk to her at least once per day. Sometimes she might be busy. Do not think that she does not like to hear your voice, but ask when she will be available and free for chat.
Build a relationship
These things do not happen out of the blue. Many people believe that Russian women are pretty dolls and they can have two or three at home just for fun. This is very offensive for a lady. If you have serious intentions be clear with this. Tell your date something more about your family. It is very important for the lady because they come from a society where parents and kids are respected.
Do it right and you could find the love of your life!

Artisanal Gold Mining Mali

People panning for gold using traditional techniques on the Niger River, Mali, West Africa. They seem to get about one or two US dollars-worth in an afternoon when sold at local market. Few other ways to earn cash there, plus keep coolish during the hot season…
