Random Chinese Trivia Countdown
(check it out...the new Beijing Airport...crazy huge)QUESTION:
Which color is bad luck when used to write or sign a name in Asia?
a) White
b) Red
c) Blue
d) Black
e) Green
ANSWERS:
a) White on, but not right on. In fact, you're wrong. So I guess you need to white out this answer. Is white even a real color? Try again.
b) Correct. In ancient times the color red was reserved for the dead. The names of the deceased were written, painted, or engraved in red on gravestones and plaques in the village centers. Even today many traditional people will get nervous if you write their name down in red. To write a living person's name in red means they will die soon or you want them dead. Try this next time you write a letter to your ex-lover.
c) You're wrong, but don't feel too blue!
d) Are you having a total Blackout in your mind? Of course not black.
e) Don't be greedy. Money can't always buy the right answer. Try or buy again!
