What represents my culture? My answer to this question is “Seven Colours String”. In Chinese, it is known as “Qi Se Xian”. All my family members and most of my relatives own this string. We can take this string from the Buddhist or Taoist temple and tie this string on our left or right wrists. Although the name of the string is known as “Seven Colours”, but the string is not made from seven colours. Different temples have different types of strings. As you can see, my string is red in colour. Most of the Chinese believe that by wearing this string can help them to avoid the yin forces (coolness, darkness, dampness…) and bring them good fortune. However, I believe that by wearing the “Seven Colours String” can prevent me from seeing or offending any ghosts during the Chinese Hungry Ghost Month. Besides, I believe this string can bring me good fortune too.

ReplyDeleteThank you for commenting on our group blog. This is actually an assignment for our Interpersonal Communication class. I noticed that you're in the educational field. So, how do you think about this idea of running a blog as assignment? For your information, our lecturer is Miss Cheryl. Her account is cherwith as you can see at above. As the semester ends, it might bring an end to our blog. However, our path in learning Interpersonal Communication will continue until the day we sleep forever. Hope to hear more comments from you. Thank you!
