He Marriage House

Marriage, Gender, and Sex in a Contemporary Chinese Village

This book explores changing concepts of marriage and gender relationships and attitudes toward sex in a rural Chinese community over the past five decades. The book is based on a study of an industrialized peasant village in Guangdong Province from 1994 to 1996 and subsequent visits from 2000 to 2002. According to the authors, the rural economic reforms of the 1980s in southern China have challenged and reinforced the deep structure of Chinese familism and this has lead to tensions between tradition and modernity. The first section of the book explores how attitudes toward marriage and courtship have changed over the past fifty years through personal accounts of three different marriages from different generations. In Part II, the transition from a traditional to a modern society is discussed from the perspective of several women from different generations. The third section focuses on sexual relationships and the growing sex trade in the village. Part IV includes updates to the original survey and takes a look at village politics.

Life Events Prediction Astrology

“Money is Prosperity”. Vedic Astrology (Jyotish) is a powerful tool for gaining profound knowledge about every aspect of life. Each person is born with a unique set of psychological tendencies and life potentials. The book, “Life Events Prediction Astrology”, is a unique book, which is very informative and also easy to understand. The horoscope shows us what we are presently working with, based on our past actions and thoughts. Besides providing deep insight into the past and present, the horoscope can also show future trends and events. This knowledge can help the individual make use of latent potentials and approach life’s challenges with greater care and purpose. By understanding the karmic patterns reflected in the horoscope, it is possible to work with these tendencies and potentials to promote greater peace, prosperity, and happiness in life. The light that is shed on a dire personal situation by Vedic Astrology is priceless. The ancient Vedic system provides a predictive system that can accurately predict life events and different “chapters” of life, called “Dasha”. In Vedic Astrology, the palm is used as a support and cross-reference to the astrological chart. From the palm the relative strength of the planets in the birth chart can be determined. It also helps in rectifying the horoscope if there is some doubt about the birth time. And it provides the astrologer with additional information about personality, life potentials, future trends, and events. The timing of life events is calculated with a detailed system of planetary time cycles, called “Dasha.” There is no equivalent system in Western astrology. Vedic astrology provides a greater scope, depth and accuracy for predicting the future. Given an accurate birth time, the Dasha system can precisely show when a period of fortune or misfortune will begin and end, and provide actual dates. Of two people with wonderful careers, great relationship potential and wealth indicated in their charts, one may find his niche early in life, while the other must experience difficult times to finally achieve prosperity later in life. The Vedic system can indicate the timing of such events as well as their extent. It uses the Moon’s position as the starting point against the background of a Nakshatra in calculations of the planetary periods within the 120 year potential lifespan. The principles governing Vedic astrology have remained unaltered for thousands of years. Vedic astrology acknowledges only nine planets, such as, Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and the two nodes of the Moon called Rahu and Ketu.
