Related InformationAmerican and Chinese Friendships

Americans are very adept at making new friends, while Chinese people are very skillful at keeping their old friends. The main reason for this is that Americans experience more changes in their personal circumstances, such as changing jobs, moving to another town, or getting divorced.


Love and Friendship

At any given time an American may have only a few close friends but many casual acquaintances. Over the course of a lifetime an American will probably have more friends than a Chinese person has, but a Chinese person may have more lifelong friends.

The Story of Valentine's The Story of Valentine's Day Day

Valentine's Day may come from the ancient Roman feast of Lupercalia. When fierce wolves roamed nearby, the old Romans called upon the god Lupercus to help them. A festival in his honor was held February 15th. On the eve of the festival the names of girls

were written on slips of paper and placed in jars. Each young man drew a slip. The girl whose name was chosen was to be his sweetheart for the year. Legend has it that the holiday became Valentine's Day after a Roman priest named Valentine.


Love and Friendship

Emperor Claudius II ordered the Roman soldiers NOT to marry or become engaged. Claudius felt married soldiers would rather stay home than fight. When Valentine defied the Emperor and secretly married the young couples, he was put to death on February 14th, the eve of Lupercalia. After his death, Valentine became a saint. Christian priests moved the holiday from the 15th to the 14th - Valentine's Day. Now the holiday honors Valentine instead of Lupercus.



Love and Friendship

Valentine’s Day has become a major symbol of love and romance in the modern world. The ancient god


Cupid and his arrow into a lover’s heart may still be used to portray falling in love or being in love. But we also use cards and gifts, such as flowers or jewelry, to do this. Forgetting to give flowers to a wife or sweetheart on Valentine’s Day can sometimes be as damaging to a relationship as forgetting a birthday or a wedding anniversary.

Since Niu Lang had seen Zhi Nu naked, they had to be married. The couple lived happily for several years. And depending on which legend is followed, either Niu Lang died or the Goddess of Heaven simply became fed up with her daughter's absence and ordered Zhi Nu to return to heaven.

Either way, the Goddess of Heaven took pity on the couple and let them be reunited once a year, when magpies form a bridge with their wings for Zhi Nu to cross to meet her lover
