Where can the Chinese find love?

In current China, many young people choose to put aside the notion of romance for the bigger picture in career building. How they go about doing it, they might choose a couple of choices: some might continue to persue a better degree in order to receive a masters or a doctorate, some might find means to jump to a good company and continue jumping till they meet what they want in their pyramid of life, while some might choose a different path in accordance with the field work set by the government.

But talking about marriage or love, the young generation of Chinese are more realistic in finding their ideal partner. Ladies would prefer to find someone who has prospects in his career, ability to own a house and car with ease, and hold certain status in the society. The men will wish to find a partner who can become a housewife, sweet natured, and look ideal to bring out for functions or gala dinner.

Yet, the young generation of young people in China face a difficult problem in finding their partner. The race to find what they want left them simply a little older than their previous generations of people who is much simpler in thinking. And because of this, with the emergence of the explosion of the internet and a less conservative society, online dating and speed dating become the ideal way for most Chinese to find their future partners.

Trudating.com is an online dating directory where one can find perhaps the ideal platform in which they can find their true love, seeking out perhaps the most intimate moments with their possible partner. It is not just an ordinary free online personals website, where people hopes to find someone who can spend their remaining life with, but rather, it offers advices and articles, and acts as a portal for anyone to find their special partner.

If you do not have the time to matchmake under the influences of your parents, as you have to spend so much going to different places globally to do businesses, perhaps it is time to slow down and take a look at what you want in life. Do you want to remain single forever? Do you wish to miss the chance and regret that perhaps the special one is somewhere out there?

In fact, here in China, with 50 over different ethinic races in such a large country, many are actually open minded and perhaps wishes for an exotic encounter. A friend of mine, who came to Shanghai to study, is now happily married to a lovely Korean lady. They are now happily residing in Singapore, contented and assured that it was fate that brought them together in Shanghai. What is amazing about love is that people are more open and vulnerable to accept new things.

The mysteries of ancient Sanxingdui II

Archaeologists around the world were excited by the unearthling of large palatial remains in the 1980s, the remnants of the eastern, western and southern walls in 1984 and the discovery of two large sacrificial pits in 1986.

These discoveries proved that Sanxingdui contains the ruins of an ancient city that was political, economic and cultural centre of the ancient Shu kingdom.

A metropolis of its time, Sanxingdui boasted highly developed agrcultural and mining systems, and produced ceramics and sacrificial tools.

Before the excavation of Sanxingdui, it was believed that Sichuan has a history dating back 3000 years. Thanks to the excavation, it is now believed that civilized culture first appeared in Sichuan 5000 years ago.

Archaologists say that the Sanxingdui Ruins also dispel theories that the Yellow River was the sole starting point of Chinese civilization.

Of more than 10,000 relics unearthed in Sanxingdui, the nearly 1000 found in 1986 in the two sacrificial pits are considered the most valuable. In these two pits, bronze, gold, jade and marble artifacts, pottery, bone implements, elephant tusks and objects made of ivory were found. Archaeologists also discovered cowries and roughly 800 large bronze relics.

In addition to the many bronze and gold masks, the most valuable finds from the two pits included the bronze statue of the Shu king, a gold scepter and a bronze "spirit tree". With a length of 1.42 metres, a diametre of 2.3 cm and weight of 0.5kg, te design on the gold scepter features fish, birds, and human figures. The scepter is believed to be a symbol for a monarchic or theocratic order, or a combination of two. Consisting of a pedestral, a trunk and part of a dragon, the 3.95 metre-tall bronze tree is the oldest, tallest and largest of its kind in the world. Some thinks that it represents a legendary spirit tree, while many researchers believe that the tree was an all-embracing symbol.

The Sanxingdui covers 12 square kilometres, of which only four have been excavated. Chen Xiandan, deputy curater of the Sichuan Provicial Museum says: "It is likely that more exciting archaeological discoveries will be made"

The mysteries of ancient Sanxingdui I

One of the more impressive displays at the Sanxingdui Museum, in Guanghan of South-west China's Sichuan Province, is a bronze statue of a barefoot man with anklets and clenched hands.

The 2.62 metre high, 180 kg statue is throught to represent a king of the Shu Kingdom. She was the name of Sichuan in ancient times.

Dating back 3100 years, the king's statue is crowned with a sun motiff and coated with three layers of tight, short sleeved bronze "clothing", which is decorated with a dragon pattern and overlaid with a checked ribbon.

Huang Nengfu, a professor of art and design at Tsinghua University and an eminent researcher in Chinese clothing from different dynasties, considers the garment to be the countriy's oldest existing dragon robe. He also thinks that the pattern is the work of the famous Shu embriodery.

The robe has changed the traditional view that Shu Embroidery began in the mid-Qing Dynasty(1644-1911). Instead it shows Shu Embroidery appeared in the Shang Dynasty (c.16th century - c.11th century BC), according to Wang Yuqing, a Taiwan-based Chinese clothing historian.

The bronze statue of the Shu king is one of the four most important cultural relics to be found in the Sanxingdui Ruins in Guanghan, a city 40 km from Chengdu. Sanxingdui, means "three star mounds" in English, is so named because the ruins are located in a village where there are three mounds.

Since 1992, more than 10,000 relics, dating between 5000 and 3000 years ago, have been unearthed in the city's Sanxingdui Ruins. The excavations have yielded some of the most significant Chinese archaeological discoveries of the 20th century.
