  When I was going home to india last year, I called up my mother to ask if she wanted anything from china, When india had not opened up its markers to the world, I carried suitease loads of dark glasses and jeans, Thankfully, we can get all these anywhere in India now, Still ,her answer surprised me:”Green tea,

  As loog as I can remember she didn’t even drink indian tea

  I dutifully bought a big packct of longjing and headed home to hear the story, My mother and her brother ,both regular newspaper readets, believed that Chinese green tea was the wonder drug for all illnesses At the turn of the century,China was not really familiar tu the average Indian, It was a stronge country

  How things changel And how soonl

  Now every lown of any sizc seems to have a China Market,And everyone is talking about China

  The govemment of indin has planned to send a team to China to see how things are done A minister once said that india must open the doors for more foreign investment(投资)and such a step wouldwork wonders as it did for China”.

  But it’s a two-way streat ,I just heard about a thousand shenzhen office workers who have gone to rangalore to train in softwareMcanwhile, all the IT majors are setting up a strong ptesence in China

  No wonder that trade, which was only in the millions just ten years ago ,is expected to his about us$15 billion for last year and us$20 billion by 2008, a goal set by both governments, No wonder, my colleague wrote some weeks ago about this being the Sino-indian(中印)century as the two countries started on January I the Sino-Indian Friendship Year

“Four Tigers” Ceremony of the Tu Minority

  Heigouding Village, Ledu County in the west of Qinghai province is a place where many people of the Tu minority have lived for centuries.As the little village is comparatively closed to the outside world, a custom called “Four Tigers” was created 200 years ago to protect its inhabitants(栖息地)from sickness and bad luck.

  Every year the ceremony is held on the eve of January 15th according to the Chinese lunar calendar to frighten off ghosts and evil souls, and to pray for peace.

  Normally four local villagers are selected to be the “tigers” in the ceremony.At first, they gathered with village elders at the mountain-god temple to offer sacrifices of wine, food and incense, and to ask the god to help the tigers.Then the tigers were adorned with herbs, candles and two batches of incense to serve as the tiger's ears.Two red ribbons held in their mouths represented the tiger's tongue.The “Tigers” drank wine, knelt and kowtowed to the mountain god before they received Hada, a kind of white silk scarf representing respects and good luck, from the village head with firecrackers crackling.

  As night fell, the candles on the tigers’ bodies were lit and the tigers began their visits to one household after another.Villagers followed, shouting “Tigers are coming!” The elder from each household welcomed the tigers at the gate, while the rest of the family knelt down in the courtyard.Firecrackers were set off, a toast made and candies, meat and wine were presented to the villagers following the tigers.After twirling(快速转动)in three circles in the courtyard while those present kowtowed and prayed, the tigers went through every corner of every room to drive away any hiding ghosts.If there was a sick person in the house, the tigers jumped around him or her, scratched their body and said lucky words to drive away diseases and ghosts.After the ceremony, the family would present wine and food to the tigers.Then, shouting “The tigers are leaving!” the whole family saw them off.

  After visiting all 30 or 40 households, the herbs were removed from the tigers and burned, to indicate that all the ghosts had been conquered.Then the villagers knelt and kowtowed with the sound of firecrackers, marking the end of the ceremony.

  The tiger image exists in other minority groups, also.In ancient times, people entrusted their happiness to gods.The “four tigers” ceremony is vividly held in memory of ancient times and a living fossil for academics studying the lives of ancient people.As it is not popular nowadays, this cultural heritage is on the edge of extinction and needs to be rescued.
