[Ansteorra] Proverbs

[HE Chiang]

  Ni Hao,
I know that you asked to be answered off list but some others may like the 
information. I have two books handy and a couple more that are not so handy 
that may contain what you want. One is called Kung Fu Meditations & Chinese 
Proverbial Wisdom, author is: Ellen Kei Hua, ISBN #0-87407-811-4. The other 
one is Best Loved Chinese Proverbs, Theodora Lau, ISBN # 0-06095133-8. You 
also might be interested to know there is an email list specifically for 
those interested in Chinese culture, search for SCA-China or I can send you 
an invite.
 Hope these help.
 Zia Jian,

Greetings to each of you,

I've recently, in the past year, turned my mind toward the study of proverbs 
(mostly Chinese
but I'm developing a taste for any region's words). I'm interested in their 
history (both general
and individually), impact, and importance. My work has gone beyond beginner 
at this time
and I was wondering if anyone out there has any suggestions on reading 
material for
intermediate to advanced study. Please contact me here or off list. Thank 
you very much
and forgive me for posting this both here and on the Bard's list...Sometimes 
the general
populous knows better. ^_^
