The outspoken single woman is founder of Preserve Virginity, a website dedicated to promoting virginity before marriage in China. Her list of six qualities for an ideal husband had been drawn up for an ad that she had later posted online, drawing flak from Chinese netizens. Some have also dismissed her ad as a publicity stunt.

1. If you are strictly thinking of it in modern times: look at it this way: the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty abdicated his throne in 1911. 2. Nowadays; where got "Emperors". 3. Of course, in the past; any artists or artisan/craftsman that produce anything with the Five claw is taboo.. unless for official reasons. 4. Today, again in modern times; there will be those who no longer are scared of emperors and dare to produce 4 or 5 claw dragons... 5. So what is stopping these people from the "Feng Shui emporium" sellers to sell such things. 6. Look at it this way: If there are ready buyers (like yourself); there are also ready sellers. 7. It takes TWO hands to clap! Of c…

Many thanks for your fast reply. Pat

Further to what I had mentioned:- 1. The Chinese culture of considering e.g. red as an auspicious colour; white usually associated with death... Has nothing to do with say in the name of "Feng Shui". 2. In addition, all the information provided under this link:- http://www.geomancy.net/info/ For example, all the procedures listed below has to do with Chinese culture and believes by various dialect groups: Cantonese, Hokkiens, Teochews etc..

Question: My dad has just passed away. I don't want to wait 1 year or 3 years (depending on individual family practises), later to get married. What is the earliest date to get married? Answer: If you want to continue with a waiting period of less than 1 year, than the wedding has to held within 100 days of the passing. Once 100 days has past, you must wait at least 1 year or more which is usually the mourning period. The duration(ie 1 year or 3 years) of the passing of a parentdepends on the individual family or clantraditional practice. Some families insist that the marriage cannot be held within 3 years of the passing of a parent. While others feel 1 or 2 years is ad…

1. Given the limited space in your dorm, it is still acceptable. 2. If u feel uncomfortable, try to close the bathroom door when not in use. 3. The major concern is to avoid legs facing the bedroom door.

1. Before, I go into your question; there are also two "types" of Feng Shui. If we can generalise; there is the "White" Feng Shui and "Black" Feng Shui. 2. In Singapore, look at the area especially bordering Beach Road to Shenton Way; "Black" Feng Shui actually refers to buildings that try to "suck" wealth from neighbouring buildings. For example, The Gateway isa major concern as till today, there are lots of reports of hauntings especially "triangle" units or points in this building. 3. In the past, and even in the future or near future, some developers engage overseas Feng Shui practitioners, and these practitioners study that "current" period's landscape and advise …

1. In my opinion, scientifically, so long as the "disease" is not contagious - spread thru air, then frankly, there is no scientific basis other than what you had mentioned based more on a "taboo". 2. It makes more sense to say to that it would be most likely the concern that such impressions or a sudden situation e.g. someone having a heart problem or in some cases, some people "foam thru their" mouth prior to death. 3. Thus, we do not inadvertenly want to "scar" someone so young with such "a horrible" - painful situation endured by others. 4. stand by dentures all these are merely "old folk" theories, that's all.

Dear Anon, So far, so long as the specific site has properly converted mother's western date of birth to lunar calendar, you can then use it to "predict" a baby's gender. However, there is a question mark - personally have not fully reviewed the accuracy of the model as to whether there is a need to further fine-tune your date and time of birth towards Beijing time or not. In such a situation; could result in either baby being considered as a boy or girl. Thus the two major considerations are: 1. Convertmother's date of birth to lunar. 2. Have to guess whether or not to fine-tuneone's date of birth. If so, again there are so many variations. As it is not so simple…

Dear Fong Li, Fong Li wrote: i would like to know that if the apartment balcony side view is railways is it good or bad feng shui?last time i stayed in house near railways and i think the feng shui not so good but that previous house also have many bad feng shui thing.therefore i not sure whether railways do have anything to do with feng shui. Generally, railways can pretty much be a sha qi depending on how the track cuts into the house. Even if it does not cut into the house, the common sense approach is that trains tend to be noisy. So noise is also another form of sha qi. So either way, if a railway track is too closed, then yes it isn't that ideal. Especially if yo…
