    The first baseman's sprained left ankle isn't as serious an injury as it first appeared when he buckled to the dirt after landing awkwardly on second base in the first inning of the Phillies' 6-4 win over the Nationals yesterday. He will likely be sidelined for at least a couple of days, but said he fhujhnml,nmo9i0-785etrgf is optimistic he won't need a trip to the disabled list. "I'm hoping not," Howard said. "I guess once the swelling goes down we'll see what happens. It's just kind of a bad sprain. I just rolled it pretty bad."

    Manager Charlie Manuel, who along with athletic trainer Mark Andersen helped support Howard as he limped off the field, had a rosier outlook. "He's going to be OK," said Manuel, whose team begins bxmnbxcfergh a three-game series in Florida tomorrow. "I don't expect him to miss very much time. If anything, he might miss a day or 2. We're off [today]. He might miss Tuesday or Wednesday, but he could very well be in the lineup on Tuesday. It's going to be a short period." X-rays were negative, but Howard said after the game he was still in pain. "Right now, it's just swollen," he said. "It's tight, it's sore. Other hgjk,l;ko[i0opt7yuftgcv than that, it's not too, too bad." Howard sounded less optimistic than Manuel about the chances of him playing tomorrow.

    "You never know," Howard said. "It's a good thing we've got an off day [today]. Just keep icing and take it day by day and see how it goes." Manuel feared the worst when he first saw Howard go down. "I thought he wrenched his knee when he was getting back to the bag," the manager said. Howard's only stint on the DL in his career came in May of 2007, when he missed 15 days with a quad strain. Since 2006, his first full season in the majors, Howard has played in 729 games, eighth-most in the majors during that stretch.

    Howard, who entered yesterday's game hitless in his last 13 at-bats, leads the National League with 81 RBI and is tied for sixth with 23 home runs. On Saturday, Manuel gave him his second day off of the season. In his only at-bat yesterday, he was hit on the right elbow by a John Lannan pitch. (The Phillies also X-rayed the elbow as a precaution; the results also were negative.) Howard then sprained the ankle after rounding second base on an RBI single by Ben Francisco. "I was able to move it," he said. "Obviously it hurt, but when I was out there on the base I wanted to move it; I wasn't sure if it was broken or not. But I was able to move it. Standing on it, it wasn't that bad. Moving it laterally, I could feel that it was hurting."

• Oriental Souvenirs from China Oriental Souvenirs from China

  • From: chineseclothing
  • Description:

    Everyone brings home souvenirs from their travels: postcards, toys, pictures, clothing, folk art such as papercuts, etc. A chop from China makes a special souvenir since it bears the owner's name. Travelers to China will likely find no one else in the neighborhood has a chop.

    

    And chops are so Chinese. Documents and artwork are not considered official in China until they've been "signed" with a person's seal. This engraved seal, or "chop," is unique to each person.

    Chops date back to ancient times in China. They’re used on every document imaginable. Artists use them on paintings instead of handwritten signatures. While important documents are signed by hand today in China, they’re not considered official until the red seals have been affixed.

    

    Think of the chop as a rubber stamp. Only instead of rubber put to a cloth stamp pad, think of a stone engraving being dipped into a pot of gooey red glue. Then both are “stamped” on a piece of paper. Same result, just a different way to achieve it. Because the chop is a person’s “signature” for life, the Chinese give much thought as to what characters they will have engraved on their chop.

    Visitors to China don’t have to worry about that. They can just have their first or last names translated into characters put on their chops. Chop makers almost always have books of first names translated into Chinese characters available for shoppers to look through. Travelers can also pick out their Chinese names online before they leave home. Mandarin Tools allows users to enter their first and last names, and indicate what characteristic they’d like their name to represent. A few seconds later, up pops the name translated into Chinese. This page should be printed out to show to the chop maker in China.

    

    Chops are usually made of soapstone, and always hand-engraved. It only takes an experienced chop maker a few minutes to do the engraving. Watching them put a complex character on a small surface is fun.

    Chops usually come with a small pot of very thick red ink. It has the consistency of paste, and is sometimes made from cinnabar. Be careful using this ink, as it stains absorbent materials and can be difficult to remove. Wipe the chop with a tissue after using it to get the remaining red ink out of the engraved areas. A tissue moistened with nail polish remover works well on stubborn stains.

    As the souvenirs, the papercutting from China is special too. It's the ancitient traditional Chinese folk arts. The Chinese invented paper around the first century A.D., so it was only natural for them to come up with ways to creatively use this invention. Chinese historians generally agree that the art of papercutting didn’t surface until about the sixth century. Since paper was still very expensive, only the rich could afford paper for decorations, writes Nigel Cameron in The History of the Chinese Papercut for China Now magazine.

    

    Papercuts are made by cutting very thin paper with a scissors or knife. Papercuts are very fragile and tear easily. Red paper is traditionally used to make papercuts, though more modern subjects will be done in the colors of the rainbow. Sharp-pointed scissors and knives are used to cut the paper, usually several sheets at a time. Beginners usually work from a pattern, but more experienced cutters work in freehand, according to the Beijing newspaper People's Daily.

    

    Traditional subjects are Peking Opera masks, animals in the Chinese Zodiac, flowers and maidens wearing traditional garb. More modern subjects are pandas and those catering to Western influences such as Santa Claus, rodeos and Disney characters.

    

    Papercuts come in all sizes, from the usual 3” x 5” to several feet high. Papercuts are usually used as window decorations, especially around holidays, much like Westerners put up Christmas lights. They’re also used on Chinese lanterns and doorways. Many Chinese frame the larger papercuts. Sometimes papercuts are used as patterns for embroidery or lacquer work.

    

    Travelers can find many uses for the papercuts when they return home. They make excellent gifts for anyone who has asked the traveler to bring them something from China. Many travelers frame a series of small papercuts and then make a wall arrangement with them. Creative types who make their own greeting cards will find them very handy. For example, Christmas-themed papercuts can be used on holiday cards; use double-sided tape to stick them to the card stock. Papercuts can also be used in decoupage projects.

• Chinese and Janpanese Jade Dec Chinese and Janpanese Jade Decoration

  • From: chineseclothing
  • Description:

    'Soft, smooth and glossy, it appeared to them like benevolence; fine, compact and strong - like intelligence' Attributed to Confucius (about 551-479 BC)

    Jade has always been the material most highly prized by the Chinese, above silver and gold. From ancient times, this extremely tough translucent stone has been worked into ornaments, ceremonial weapons and ritual objects. Recent archaeological finds in many parts of China have revealed not only the antiquity of the skill of jade carving, but also the extraordinary levels of development it achieved at a very early date.

    

    Jade was worn by kings and nobles and after death placed with them in the tomb. As a result, the material became associated with royalty and high status. It also came to be regarded as powerful in death, protecting the body from decay. In later times these magical properties were perhaps less explicitly recognised, jade being valued more for its use in exquisite ornaments and vessels, and for its links with antiquity. In the Ming and Qing periods ancient jade shapes and decorative patterns were often copied, thereby bringing the associations of the distant past to the Chinese peoples of later times.

    

    In a nineteenth-century Qing Dynasty (1644-1912) jade, two monkeys are shown presenting a peach. This work recalls the folk legend of an impish stone monkey who came to life and brazenly stole the peaches of immortality from the ruler of heaven, the “Jade Emperor.” As the monkey explained, "Nothing could content me but to live in the Green Jade Heaven!"

    For the Chinese, jade had been the physical manifestation of spiritual virtue, the embodiment of all that is most desirable, for several thousand years. Nearly three millennia before the monkeys-and-peach jade (around the period of Egypt's Middle Kingdom), songs from the ancient classic the Shi Jing ("Book of Songs," written 1000-700 BCE) had celebrated the glories and delights of jade. One poem sings of "this jewel, this jade of my delight," another soberly states "I bestow upon you a jade scepter and a jade goblet," a third hails "a gentleman / lovely as the glint of jade / lovely as the glint of jade."

    

    What is jade and how is it used?

    If a ruler perfectly observes the rites of the state, white jade will appear in the valley. -- Li Ji ("Book of Rites," compiled ca. 300 BCE)

    The Chinese have been continuously creative in working jade for more than six thousand years, from the Neolithic to the present. But China is hardly the only culture to place a high value on jade.

    Jade of one type or another is found in Burma, Central America, Brazil, Canada, Japan, India, Siberia, Finland, Tanzania, and elsewhere; in this country, it occurs in California as well as in northeastern and southwestern states. It is prized for its hardness, glassy luster, and rich translucent colors. Because jade is extremely hard, it might have been tried early on for tools and weapons. But jade is also brittle, and the forms that have survived appear to have been used for symbolic rather than utilitarian purposes. Jade clubs, for example, were used to represent authority among the Maori. Knives, daggers, and scepters were used in ritual or military ceremonies in China. Jade often possessed not just symbolic but belief-system significance -- as seems the case with the mysterious bi discs and cong tubes found in Neolithic Chinese grave sites (the former are discs with a hole in the center, the latter a tube that, in section, is square on the outside and round on the inside).

    

    In ancient times, as today, jade was also used for personal adornment. Jade rings, bracelets, pendants, beads, and the like appear very early. Exceptional artistic effects can be achieved with jade -- outside of Asia, some of the most stunning work was created by Central American artists of Olmec, Toltec, and Mayan cultures. Still, no culture can rival China for the breadth, depth, richness, and variety of work in this medium.

    "Jade” is really several stones -- or at least that is the usage of the Chinese word, yu, which was applied even to stones such as serpentine and aventurine that are no longer considered types of jade. The English word jade is properly applied to two distinct stones: nephrite and jadeite. Nephrite, either from local source or imported from central Asia, was almost the only jade used by the Chinese until around the time of the American revolution, when jadeite was introduced from Burma.

    

    Although quite different in mineralogical composition, the two stones share many qualities. A milky, soft-colored stone, nephrite is a calcium and magnesium silicate with a tightly bonded, fibrous structure. It is usually white, green, or violet but can be other colors as well. Jadeite, a sodium and aluminum silicate, comes in more colors, ranging in tone from white to gray and in hue from yellow-orange to violet. But it is best known for the bright green of the highly polished form that is favored for jewelry, where it is cherished for its high luster. Jade's spectrum of colors is the result of trace elements -- such as magnesium in green jade or iron in jades with a yellowish hue -- mixed in with the snowy white of the pure mineral.

    How is jade carved?

    Without being worked, jade cannot be shaped into a vessel; without being educated, people cannot be shaped into virtuous citizens-- from the Trimetrical Classic, a Song dynasty (960-1279) primer on the Confucian Classics Jade cannot be carved. Because of its hardness, it can rarely be shaped by chiseling or chipping but must be worn away by abrasion with tools and hard sand pastes. This is a process that requires immense patience -- even with modern machinery equipped with diamond-tipped burrs that grind out intricate designs, it remains laborious. Yet jade appeared in Chinese culture several thousand years before metal tools existed. Neolithic jade artisans worked with bamboo, bone, and stone tools, using a drilling or bow action to abrade the jade with sand. Because the process was so labor-intensive and time-consuming, jades reflected the ability of a ruling elite to command resources, and therefore came to symbolize power, status, and prestige.

    

    Chinese jade from ancient times to the present

    The wise have likened jade to virtue-- Confucius

    Neolithic jades -- such as the bi discs and cong tubes described above -- are often found in burial sites, suggesting a ritual significance. By the time of the Zhou dynasty (771-221 BCE), when the Book of Songs was written, the prescribing of jade as an aid to attaining immortality was well established. Deceased royals might be buried in a jade suit with jade plugs inserted in body openings. The use of jade in burial ritual continued into and beyond the Han Dynasty (100s BCE-100s CE, about the period of Julius Caesar and the Roman Empire), when in addition to body plugs, other jade objects were interred with the deceased. Jade cicadas, for example, representing rebirth, might be placed on the deceased person's tongue.

    Early dynastic jades also took the form of belt hooks, archer's rings, and guards for swords. During the earliest Chinese dynasties, the Shang and the Zhou, pendants became an increasingly popular adornment. Through the centuries, jade ornamentation had become increasingly codified, so that by the Han dynasty its use as a means of distinguishing one's social class was firmly entrenched.

    

    Fewer jades survive from the centuries from the fall of the Han dynasty in 220 through the end of the Tang dynasty in 906 than from earlier or later dynasties. Changes in funerary practices meant that not as many pieces were included in tombs where they were protected from the ravages of time. In addition, these works had not completed the transition from ritual object to cultural artwork and were not collected as they were in later dynasties. The earliest animal figures from this time of transition show something of  the ritual spirit of the Han dynasty, but they soon evolve into fanciful mythical beasts and playful representations. During these centuries signs of an emerging antiquarian spirit appear in jade imitations of early metallic or ceramic objects. This anticipates an important trend in China from the Song dynasty (960-1279) onward.

    In the modern dynasties (the Ming, 1368-1644, and the Qing, 1644-1912) jadework became more self-conscious and referential. Often—as with the monkey-and-peaches sculpture—jades alluded to a work of literature or some other aspect of China’s cultural heritage. Or they might involve a sort of witticism known as a rebus. Rebuses are hidden meanings or verbal puns arising from characters that have double meanings; they usually refer to auspicious signs or wishes.

    During this period, jade objects for the scholar's studio began to be produced, such as brush rests, paperweights, and seals. In keeping with the referential spirit of the modern period, such objects were sometimes made in imitation of earlier forms in other mediums, such as bronzes and lacquers.

• Oriental Mask,Party mask and l Oriental Mask,Party mask and local Mask

  • From: chineseclothing
  • Description:

    Chinese masks are legend. The tradition of mask making in China and other Asian countries reflect the religious and culturally rich customs of each specific group of people. From the Buddhist masks of Tibet to the royal masks of Beijing, Asia's love of masks is abundant. You can get in on this tradition by using Chinese masks in your home. Let us help you find and decorate with some beautiful Chinese masks.

    

    Before you can purchase any Chinese masks, you have to decide what kind of masks you are interested in. The many different areas of China each reflect a different type of culture. You might choose to buy traditional painted wood masks. Or perhaps you'd rather have a golden dragon mask. The kind of mask you buy depends partly on your budget. Some wooden reproduction masks can cost less than $50; while authentic gold and other metal masks can set you back thousands of dollars.

    

    Once you decide what kind of Chinese masks to buy, you are ready to shop. For affordable masks you might consider checking out your local import store. Whether it is a chain store, or a smaller low-volume merchant, you should have quite a bit of luck at a store that specializes in foreign items. Or check out a local decorating or furniture store. These places often have reproduction items for sale at reasonable prices.

    Now that you have purchased one or more beautiful Chinese masks, you are ready to decorate. There are many ways to use ancient Asian masks in your home. Consider placing a large gold mask in a grand living room or foyer. Add a golden Buddha and some jade and you'll have a palatial entertaining spot. Or use a wooden mask in a room with neutral colors and fabrics. Either way, your new Chinese décor will thrill all your guests.

    

    Exorcising masks originated from ancient sacrificial rituals in the Central Plains. The rituals were initially held to drive away ghosts and evils. Later, part of the rituals was evolved into local operas in praise of military deeds and high-ranking officers, becoming popular among the army troops. About 1,000 years ago, exorcising masks, combined with the totem worshipping among ethnic minority groups in the south of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and traditional sacrificial rituals, formed a mask culture of extensive contents. Ethnic minorities currently using exorcising masks include the Miao, Tujia, Yao, Zhuang, Dong, Shui, Buyi and Maonan etc.

    

    In the embryonic and initial stages of ethnic operas, masks were widely used in the performances. Later, under the influence of operas of the Han people, wearing masks was gradually replaced by face painting. Masks and facial covers were only used when playing gods, ghosts and animals. But there are still some operas in which masks are completely or partially used, including Tibetan operas popular in Tibet, Sichuan, Gansu and Qinghai etc, the Tujia and Lao ethnic exorcising operas popular in Guizhou, Ground Opera and the Dong ethnic leaping drama in Hunan etc

• Chinese and Japanese paper Lan Chinese and Japanese paper Lantern

  • From: chineseclothing
  • Description:

    The Chinese lantern originated as an improvement over the more simple, more natural – and surely, more widespread – source of lighting: the open flame. The lamp/ lantern shade of course protects the flame inside from being extinguished in windy weather, but it also provides a better, more diffuse form of illumination than an open flame, the latter of which creates sharp contrasts between illuminated and non-illuminated parts of objects. Once created, however, it was inevitable that the lantern shade would be the object of artistic expression, most especially given the highly developed Chinese penchant for artistic embellishment, as any student of Chinese culture will know.

    

    Not only was the Chinese lantern the object of artistic embellishment, it also underwent extensive design experimentation – again, as the result of the encouragement of Chinese society lamp-shade artisans competed among themselves to produce lamp shades of exquisite beauty, both in terms of functionality, design and artistic embellishment. No one encouraged these artisans more heartily than the emperor himself, who of course commandeered the best lamp-shade artisans in the empire to work for him.

    

    While the earliest Chinese lanterns were created for use in the home and for use as entrance-way lighting, it was quickly discovered that the lantern made an excellent "flashlight", or portable lighting medium. Historical experts believe that the first such "flashlight" was in fact the Chinese lantern.

    

    These same historical experts also believe that the very concept of street lighting that eventually emerged in Europe stems from European contact with Imperial China, where "street lighting", in the form of the Chinese lantern hanging on doors and gateways, had long since existed, not, perhaps, as a governmental measure but as a natural part of Chinese society (some of mankind's greatest inventions stem from ancient China, including the first widespread use of paper as we know it today (ancient Egyptian papyrus is grossly inferior to the paper developed in China, which, in contrast, resembles modern forms of paper) as well as the use of paper money as a convenient substitute for carrying gold, silver, etc.).

    

    Typical also for ancient Chinese society was its penchant for grand celebrations, where the artistic expression of the individual was harnessed for the common good. One such celebration is the Lantern Festival, aka Little New Year, in recognition of the fact that it is the culmination of the Chinese New Year festival. Just as in the Carnaval do Rio de Janeiro, where contestants compete each year for the award for having created the most impressive costume, contestants in the ancient Lantern Festival competed each year for the award for having produced the most impressive lantern, the difference being that the best lantern designs in China – except for those reserved for the Imperial Palace – became public property: they were copied by every other lamp-shade artisan throughout the country.

    

    The comparison to Carnaval do Rio de Janeiro does not do justice to similar ancient Chinese celebrations, since ancient Chinese celebrations always contained an element of literary allusion and/or reference to other artistic genres such as the fine art of calligraphy. For example, a famous contemporary Chinese poet might compose a poem for the celebration in question in which the poet recognized the artistic achievement of the competing artists/ artisans (lamp-shade artisans, etc.), and occasionally the fame of such a poem would eventually completely overshadow the fame of the artists/ artisans who were the subject of the poem.

    

    Though there is no longer a practical rationale for the Chinese lantern (modern lighting is far superior to the old-fashioned oil lamp), the Chinese lantern is still made – and used and enjoyed! – by Chinese people, including by the Chinese diaspora, but it is also made, used and enjoyed by peoples everywhere, as the Chinese lantern continues to be a vehicle for personal artistic expression, both in terms of functionality, design and embellishment.

• Baby products-small products b Baby products-small products big profits

  • From: smallvolume
  • Description:

    

    Many online clothes retailers are not aware of this, but you can make a lot of money by selling baby clothes. This profitable market niche is often overlooked by clothes retailers. They usually sell only women's clothes or kids' clothing and they forget that infant clothes also enjoy huge sales and big profits. It is time to take a closer look at this niche.

    

    Parents are aware that clothes for babies will only be worn for a short period of time before they are outgrown. For the sake of practicality, parents prefer to buy baby clothes that are affordable. That is why baby clothes at wholesale prices are so popular. You must make sure to obtain the clothes you sell as cheaply as possible to that you can make a good profit when you sell them.

    One very important thing to remember is that clothes for babies must be comfortable. Babies have very delicate skin and they can easily suffer from rashes and allergies. Cotton is a very popular material for baby clothes, especially body suits and t-shirts. Sometimes the cotton can be mixed with spandex for a better fit. There are even baby clothes made of organic cotton that will not irritate a baby's delicate skin. Of course, organic baby clothes are more expensive than ordinary ones.

    

    Wholesale baby clothes can be obtained at highly discounted prices from reliable suppliers like Smallvolume.com. It is crucial to find a good supplier of cheap baby clothes for you to be able to sell your merchandise at affordable prices. It is common knowledge that you can get cheap wholesale clothes from Asian suppliers and this will allow you to sell your products very profitably.

    The online clothing business is topped in sales figures by baby clothing items now that there is economic stagnation worldwide. Baby production seems to continue unabated due to the fact that the world's population has a large percentage of young people capable of reproduction in so many years yet to come. As the young mothers give birth to their babies, the demand for baby clothes rises dramatically and this has to be met by the drop shippers now online who serve the needs of the buying public for the baby garments. The women's clothing niche is even overtaken now by the baby clothing niche - understandable because the newly born babies get priority attention from the moms.

    

    The wholesalers in baby clothing goods are also taking advantage in the rise of the number babies worldwide so they have distributed their people to foreign countries in anticipation of huge sale in the children's wear internationally. They even have started offering their clothes in wholesale buy and sell transactions at low prices just to help in the resolution o f the current recession. They know that if they lower their wholesale prices, the retail prices at the consumers' end will also be much lower. People can then be encouraged to buy more clothes and these will lead to more profits for the online entrepreneurs.

    The small clothing drop shippers are firstly benefited with the move of the wholesale firms to lower the pricing for bulk orders with higher markups and higher profits. In fact, everyone in the clothing business stands to benefit from lower wholesale pricing in baby clothes. The end users of these items tend to store plenty of the babies' clothing in anticipation of the coming of more babies.

    

    The increase in population may not really be bad after all - especially to the entrepreneurs in baby clothing. And when the businessmen in this niche of the clothing industry make so much extra money, they tend to spend more and thus contribute in a way to ending the economic crisis. In the first place, the recession came about anyway because of the slowdown of the spending of consumers.

    Smallvolume.com has been dealing in baby's clothes for years, and they would be your most faithful baby clothes wholesaler. Since that you are here, why not go to the home page to see more cheap and most profitable goods to seek business for your own. Don't hesitate to contact the customers service for help if you come across any problems or questions.

• Traditional Chinese medicine Traditional Chinese medicine

  • From: chineseclothing
  • Description:

    In theory and practice, traditional Chinese medicine is completely different from Western medicine, both in terms of considering how the human body works and how illness occurs and should be treated. As a part of a continuing system that has been in use for thousands of years, it is still employed to treat over one-quarter of the world's population. Since the earliest Chinese physicians were also philosophers, their ways of viewing the world and human beings' role in it affected their medicine. In TCM, both philosophically and medically, moderation in all things is advocated, as is living in harmony with nature and striving for balance in all things. Prevention is also a key goal of Chinese medicine, and much emphasis is placed on educating the patient to live responsibly. The Chinese physician also is more of an advisor than an authority; he or she believes in treating every patient differently, based on the notion that one does not treat the disease or condition but rather the individual patient. Thus two people with the same complaint may be treated entirely differently, if their constitutions and life situations are dissimilar. Disease is also considered to be evidence of the failure of preventive health care and a falling out of balance or harmony.

    

    There is some confusion in the West about the fundamental philosophical principles upon which traditional Chinese medicine is based—such as the concept of yin and yang, the notion of five elements (wood, fire, earth, metal and water), and the concept of chi—yet each can be explained in a way that is understandable to Westerners.

    

    Yin and yang describe the interdependent relationship of opposing but complementary forces believed to be necessary for a healthy life. Basically, the goal is to maintain a balance of yin and yang in all things.

    The five elements, or five-phase theory, is also grounded in the notion of harmony and balance. The concept of chi, which means something like "life force" or "energy," is perhaps most different from Western ideas. TCM asserts that chi is an invisible energy force that flows freely in a healthy person, but is weakened or blocked when a person is ill. Specifically, the illness is a result of the blockage, rather than the blockage being the result of the illness.

    

    Besides these philosophical concepts that differ considerably from infection-based principles of medicine and health, the methods employed by traditional Chinese medicine are also quite different. If allopathic Western practitioners could be described as interventionist and dependent on synthetic pharmaceuticals, TCM methods are mostly natural and noninvasive. For example, where Western physicians might employ surgery and chemotherapy or radiation for a cancer patient, a TCM physician might use acupuncture and dietary changes. TCM believes in "curing the root" of a disease and not merely in treating its symptoms.

    Another major difference is how the patient is regarded. In Western medicine, patients with similar complaints or diseases, usually will receive virtually the same treatment. In TCM however, the physician treats the patient and not the condition, believing that identical diseases can have entirely different causes. In terms of the principles upon which it is based and the methods used, traditional Chinese medicine, therefore, is considered by many in the West to be a radically different system of healthcare.

• Join the Spring fashion, don't Join the Spring fashion, don't miss this lovly season!

  • From: chineseclothing
  • Description:

    With China predicted to become the world's biggest luxury market within the next decade, every well-known international label wants a piece of China's retail pie. In the Oriental Plaza mall in Beijing, Louis Vuitton, Burberry and MaxMara have all opened sleek new shops. There is a popular conception that the Chinese are obsessed with big brands, and to a great extent this is true, as the obvious logos that emblazon everything from an office worker's fake Louis Vuitton bag to a teenager's copycat Kappa tracksuit attest. It's even possible to determine the popularity of a brand by how heavily it is imitated in one of the country's malls or markets.

    However, China is a vast, populous country and, as such, tastes vary from city to city, and among individuals, just as fashion varies between Liverpool and London. According to Gary Wong, who owns a chain of boutiques called Shine, there is a huge difference between north and south China – he believes that in the north people want to dress in a more loud, conceptual way, and in the south, they are more influenced by their friends. Overall, however, the years of forced uniformity have given way to a new desire for individuality, and while for some this might be simply a desire to show off their wealth through status logos, others, particularly young people, are embracing more experimental, street styles.

    

    he picked up this lovely wool jacket there. We should complemented him on his “Chinese style” jacket. There is a resemblance but it is difficult to find wool of this type in China.

    

    Quite a range of colors, patterns, and styles on her. This look might pull in bit much, but I think it is an adorable and singular blend of East and West.

    

    No one would mistake her for a provincial, but did we need further comfirmation that Parisian girls are born with style? It's really look good wearing this outfit in her twenties, thirties or beyond. Most women never reach this in a lifetime, getting derailed by a whole host of ugly trends like distressed jeans and studded belts. Even at ten, she has the understated charm and ability to meaningfuly accessorize for which the ladies of her city are known.

    Great Chinese painting art, fashion is your style and taste. This dress make you as pure as Chinese bamboo.

    

    Wow, the great combination of Chinese style and western. Black suits, this spring's hot fashion, and pink Chinese Qipao, the best one is pink bag. Am i in Shanghai or Manhattan.

• Ancient Chinese Totem - Dragon Ancient Chinese Totem - Dragon

  • From: chineseclothing
  • Description:

    Dragons are deeply rooted in the Chinese culture. The Chinese often consider themselves, 'the descendants of the dragon.'

    Nobody really knows where the dragon comes from. The dragon looks like a combination of many animals. For the Chinese people, Dragons were described visually as a composite of parts from nine animals: The horns of a deer; the head of a camel; the eyes of a devil; the neck of a snake; the abdomen of a large cockle; the scales of a carp; the claws of an eagle; the paws of a tiger; and the ears of an ox. The Chinese word for Dragon is spelled out in roman characters as either lung or long. In China, the Dragon was credited with having great powers that allowed them to make rain and to control floods (by striking the river with its tail, causing it to open and thus divert the floodwaters) also Dragons are credited for transportation of humans to the celestial realms after death. Also, in China, Dragons are symbols of the natural world, adaptability, and transformation. When two dragons are placed together but turned away, they symbolize eternity via the famous Yin-Yang.

    Chinese emperors think they are the real dragons and the sons of heaven. Thus the beds they sleep on are called the dragon beds, the throne called the dragon seat, and the emperor's ceremonial dresses called the dragon robes.

    

    In the minds of the early Chinese people, the dragon was a god that embodied the will and ideals of the Chinese people. It is said that the dragon is a large-scaled reptile, which can become dark or bright, large or small, long or short, and can fly into the sky in the spring and live under the water in the fall. It seems that the dragon is capable of doing almost anything.Traditionally the dragons are considered as the governors of rainfalls in Chinese culture. They have the power to decide where and when to have rain. They believe the kings of the water dragons live in the dragon palaces under the oceans. The Chinese sign for the dragon appears during the Yin and Shang dynasties (from the 16th to the 11th century BC, the period of the earliest Chinese hieroglyphs), between inscriptions on bones and turtle shields. These inscriptions depicted a horned reptile, teeth, scales and sometimes paws as well.

    

    In ancient China nobody had any doubts about the existence of dragons. People showed great respect for any dragon depicted in pictures, carvings and writings, and as a result the dragon became the symbol of Chinese nation. All people in china, including the emperor, prostrated themselves before the image of a dragon with reverence and awe. As a result, this unreal animal became the spiritual sustenance for a nation: firstly, as the totem of a tribe and then as the symbol of the nation. Eventually it became the sign on the national flag of the last feudal dynasty, the Qing Dynasty. The chinese people regard themselves as descendants of the dragon.

• Wedding Accessories - You will Wedding Accessories - You will find your favoriate for your wedding!

  • From: chineseclothing
  • Description:

    On your wedding day, you want to look at your best. Picking your wedding accessories can be a huge part of your ensemble. Whether you select just a few simple necessities or many to highlight your wedding dress, they each contribute to your appearance in different ways and have a special importance to them. Make sure that you have bought your wedding gown before shopping for bridal accessories. From head to toes there are many styles of accessories that can help you attain the perfect look for your wedding.

    Shoes

    With so many shoes to choose from and only one wedding it’s important to pick the weding shoes that best suit you. If your a little shorter and you want a shoe that gives you more height, pumps or high heels may be your best bet. Flats, sandals, and slip on’s can be worn as more of a casual and comfy choice. Sandals can also be dressy with a slight heel to them or some bling. If your wedding venue is at or near a beach you might not even need shoes, barefoot is the best way to go when your at the beach, that way you can feel the warm sand in between your toes. You could even go for the Cinderella look and wear clear slippers to look just like a princess on your wedding day. There are so many styles and colors when picking shoes. Open toe, peep toe, slingbacks, strappy sandals, close toed, wedge heel, pumps, and platforms are just some of the many styles to choose from. Just make sure that you try on your wedding dress with your shoes to make sure they go together perfectly.

    

    Anklets

    Anklets can be great for accessorizing your feet. You can choose between pearls, rhinestones, and crystals to find your perfect anklet. When picking your anklet it needs to go with your wedding shoes and your wedding gown. If your barefoot almost any anklet can work as long as it goes along with the embroidery or work on your dress. With shoes you need to be sure that the anklet doesn’t over power your shoes or dangle over them. Hearts, crosses, and dangling jewels are the most popular designs for anklets.

    

    Necklaces

    Bridal necklaces can be just as important as your wedding dress and shoes. Any necklace can add beauty and elegance to any dress you choose. You want a necklace that will match and look good with your dress. If you are wearing a V-neck wedding gown the best necklace to accompany it is a simple Y-drop necklace. If your wedding dress is a halter, you want a necklace that will stand out all around. A dangling or double stranded necklace could be just right to attract attention. With an opened back gown a dangling necklace is also a good choice to enhance the beauty of your dress. Pendants, Y-drop designs, single of double stranded, and chokers are all apart of picking a perfect bridal necklace to go with your dress and don’t forget all the jewels and designs!

    

    Earrings

    Earrings also come in various shapes and sizes and of course have to match your necklace. You want earrings that will highlight your face and also compliment your hair style. If you have more of a round shaped face, dangling earrings can be a good option. Dangling earrings also look great if your wedding hair-do is styled down or curled. If your hair is being put up and styled studded earrings or pearls could compliment your hair the best. You don’t want earrings that will be weighing you down or taking away from your other jewelry. However, if you have a high-necked dress and are opting out of a necklace, dangling earrings are the best way to go. For more wide faces, hoops or sleek earrings can do the trick. Hoops, small studs, spirals or tear drop, diamonds, pearls,chandelier, and dangling earrings are all the different shapes and sizes that could add to your wedding ensemble.

    

    Veils

    Your wedding veil needs to compliment your overall appearance. You can decide to wear your veil as an accessory or over your face. If you choose to wear it over face you might want more of a shorter length to make things easier. Your veil should match the rest of your look (especially your wedding gown) and have the same shade or color as your wedding gown. It should also match the details such as your beading. If wearing a wedding dress that is floor length almost any veil will work. If your wedding gown tends to be shorter a shorter veil, about knee length, would go best. You want to be careful while picking out your veil because your veil is supposed to give you that glow and by picking the wrong one it could take away for your bridal appearance. Don’t forget to bring along your wedding dress while shopping for your veil.

    

    You should enjoy picking out your wedding accessories and shop around. Take time to peak at all the different styles, colors, and prices for accessories. While looking for your own accessories, keep in mind your bridesmaids’ accessories as well. Have fun shopping for your extra goodies!
