Learn the meanings behind numbers and how the number of strokes in one's Chinese name can affect one's fortunes. Full colored illustrations. Helpful with diagrams and charts. Background/context regarding numbers in Chinese culture. For more than 3000 years, the Chinese have used numbers not only for mathematics, but also to predict the future and interpret the forces of nature. Numbers have yin and yang qualities and carry specific significance and symbolism. They represent the nine 'stars' of the universe, which symbolizes the essence of the universe and the five elements. As numbers are also associated with the eight trigrams (the basis of Chinese divination), they are also used in Feng Shui calculations and in face and palm reading. This book will reveal how to use numbers to predict the future, as well as help readers interpret dreams associated with numbers and understand what are auspicious and inauspicious numbers. Dr. Evelyn Lip studied and trained in London as an architect. She holds a PhD and Masters in Architecture, and a Diploma in Interior Design. She was one of the first few authors to pen a book in the English language on Feng Shui in the 70s, when the subject was still relatively unknown in many parts of the world. Today, she is a well-regarded Feng Shui consultant, and also an accomplished artist and Chinese opera singer.
The functions of Chinese numerals are in the main identical with those of English numerals. However, as Chinese numerals are closely associated with classifiers with which to form numeral-classifier compounds, they can only be fully understood when they are studied together with Chinese classifiers. Chinese classifiers are a very difficult problem for foreign learners to tackle, though it is not difficult to translate them into English. The fact that Chinese classifiers are difficult to master is because it concerns the usage peculiar to Chinese, but it doesn’t prevent foreign learners from understanding the meaning of the Chinese classifiers. What is difficult for them is how to use them correctly in their translation from E to C. The aim of this book is to tell the learners how to use Chinese classifiers correctly. In order to help the foreign learners to learn Chinese classifiers more handily and correctly, Appendix I: Classification of Chinese action classifiers and Appendix II: a detailed List of combination of Chinese classifiers and nouns, with more than 800 examples, are provided in this book.

And when Pat and Annie, caught in a mix of youthful lust and boredom, find themselves in a dangerous game that implicates them in the Duck House tragedy, their families must decide how much they are willing to sacrifice to help their children. Generous in spirit, unaffected in its intelligence, multi-voiced, poignant, and darkly funny, Number One Chinese Restaurant looks beyond red tablecloths and silkscreen murals to share an unforgettable story about youth and aging, parents and children, and all the ways that our families destroy us while also keeping us grounded and alive.
