                            actively enforced since the 1970s. It is difficult to generalize about
                            the required minimum marriage ages, as they differ from city to city and
                            might be non-existent in certain rural and national minority areas,
                            where the government is trying to increase the population. The minimum
                            age has been progressively raised over the years, until 1978 when the
                            rules were eased a bit. In general, if the combined ages of the couple
                            exceeds fifty years (or the female's age exceeds the male's), then the
                            marriage is allowable.</para>

                            You have seen <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin"
                                >hé</foreignphrase> used between two nouns or pronouns as a
                            conjunction meaning “and”. Here you see it used as a prepositional verb
                            meaning “with”. The word <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin"
                                >gēn</foreignphrase>, which you have seen, also has both meanings,

                            “and” in the Mandarin spoken in North China, and he was more often
                            written. But he has come into wide conversational use in <foreignphrase

                        “ceremony, function” This can be used to refer to a range of different
                        ceremonies, from the signing of a treaty or agreement to the taking of

                    <para>In old China, marriages were celebrated extravagantly. It was not uncommon
                        to find families going into debt because of the joyous occasion, which
                        marked a new generation added to the family line. This elaborate ritual
                        served to strengthen familial bonds and the newlyweds' feeling of obligation
                        owed to the family.</para>

                        police bureau. Wedding dinners may still be enjoyed in the countryside,
                        where there are fewer restrictions on time and food.</para>

                            lǐwù ma?</foreignphrase>: In traditional China, the groom's family gave
                        gifts to the bride's family to compensate for the loss of their daughter.
                        (For the loss of the daughter might also entail a substantial loss of
                        property and servants.) In Taiwan, it is still the man's family who in most
                        cases pays for the wedding arrangements. In the PRC today, these customs no
                        longer exist.</para>

                            duō?</foreignphrase>: Although allowed by law with the mutual consent of
                        both parties, it is not easy to obtain a divorce in the PRC. With the
                        exceptions of one party being either politically questionable or terminally
                        ill, the majority of couples are asked to resolve their differences via
                        study and group criticism.</para>
                    <para><foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">...yǒu yìxiē fūfù bú zài yíge
                            dìfang gōngzuò</foreignphrase>: Many couples still have to be split up
                        in order for each to have work. (Jobs are arranged for and assigned by the
                        local government.) This is, of course, a great hardship since it is
                        improbable that either will be able to arrange a transfer of job to the
                        other's work-place. The splits are arranged in order to increase rural
                        population and provide labor for rural jobs. The partner left in the city,
                        usually the woman, can go to the countryside to join her spouse, but rural
                        life is so difficult that this is not likely.</para>
                    <para><foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">...suǐràn měinián yǒu bànge
                            yuède tànqīnjià</foreignphrase>: There are two types of leave for
                        visiting one's family in the PRC. One is for unmarried children to return
                        home to see their parents, the other is for couples who are assigned to
                        different places for work. These trips are paid for by one's work unit (but
                        communes have no family leave provisions). If the person on leave is working
                        relatively near his home, he is allowed a fifteen day visit once per year
                        and a worker who is located relatively far from home can take a thirty day
                        visit once every two years.</para>

                            is the verb “to be in, at, or on”, in other words “to be located
                            (someplace)”. <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin"
                                >Zài</foreignphrase> must be followed by a place word or a place
                            phrase. Just what is considered to be a place word or phrase may be
                            difficult for the non-native speaker to figure out. Words which are not
                            considered to be place words or phases must have a locational ending
                            such as -<foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">li</foreignphrase> or
                            -shang added to them. (<foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">Nǐ zài

                            bus.”)</para>
                        <para>The names of institutions in Chinese are considered to be place words.
                            The phrase “in court” does not need a locational ending, <foreignphrase
                                xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">zài fǎyuàn</foreignphrase>. Here are some
                            other words which can function as place words by themselves. Many of
                            these end with syllables such as -<foreignphrase

                                >yě</foreignphrase> often is used to contrast the thought expressed
                            in the sentence with another thought. This meaning can be paraphrased
                            something like this: “in spite of anything which might be believed to
                            the contrary, indeed what I am saying is true.” Sometimes, however,
                                <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">yě</foreignphrase> is used
                            when there is not much to contrast it with, and means little more than
                            “we really ought to agree that what I am saying is true.”</para>

                        “the three approvals”. The “three approvals” have ”been in effect since
                        1973/74. At that time, the minimum marriage age was pushed upward, but most
                        recently it has been relaxed to ages twenty-five for males and twenty-three
                        for females. Most couples must still wait a number of years before they can
                        have a child. The <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">sāntōngguò
                            guīdìng</foreignphrase> for city residents effectively means that,
                        without these three approvals for a child, a pregnancy must end in abortion
                        or else the child will have to live without food rations. (A government
                        slogan is <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">Yíge zuì hǎo, liǎngge
                            gòule</foreignphrase>, “One is best, two is enough.”) Applications to
                        have children are reviewed and permission granted or denied by one's work
                        unit, based on the total allowable city quota. A third child is strongly
                        discouraged and life would be very difficult for it should it be born.
                        Special gifts, privileges, and awards are given to one-child families. In
                        the countryside, one can find four to six children in a household, but they
                        of course could not easily move to the city.</para>

                            <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">fāngzi</foreignphrase> meaning
                        “house”, it is being used here in the wider sense of “a place to live”. In
                        this phrase it is preceded by the counter for rooms of a house,
                            <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">jiān</foreignphrase>. Thus the
                        whole phrase means “a new room”, not “a new house”.</para>

                        (Housing in Shanghai is more critical than Peking.) When a newly married
                        couple applies for housing, they will be assigned a room that does not
                        exceed 8-10 square meters. Rarely do living quarters have private baths,
                        toilets, or kitchens. Later, when children come along, they will continue to
                        live in the same size room.</para>

                        on the degree temperature at which the food is eaten, but are rather
                        inherent in the food. For example crab, white sugar, and most vegetables and
                        fruits are <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">yīn</foreignphrase> or
                        cool while hot pepper, lard, millet, brown sugar, and certain fruits such as

                            xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">yáng</foreignphrase> or hot. Generally
                        speaking, <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">yáng</foreignphrase>
                        foods harmonize with body temperature while <foreignphrase
                            xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">yīn</foreignphrase> foods shock the system.
                        Nonetheless, a balance between the two kinds of foods must be maintained.
                        Too much <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">yáng</foreignphrase> food
                        can cause the body's “heat” to rise too much (<foreignphrase

                        constipation. On the ocher hand, too much <foreignphrase
                            xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">yīn</foreignphrase> food is bad for the

                        of foods. Thus in hot weather, when the <foreignphrase
                            xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">huǒ</foreignphrase> naturally rises, one

                        one should eat “hot” foods. Likewise, certain illnesses call for the eating
                        of one kind of food or the other: one should eat “cool” foods to counteract
                        infections and fevers, while one should eat “hot” foods to build up one's
                        strength if one has a disease which makes him weak. In particular, women

                        cannot be used in all cases when we would say “get” in English. For one
                        thing, de only means to receive passively, whereas English “get” sometimes
                        denotes actively seeking to obtain, as in “I'm going to the supply room to
                        get some paper and pens”, or “I got a package of cereal at the supermarket”.

                            what is the word for “never” in Chinese. The answer is that “never” is
                            not expressed by one word, but rather by a combination of adverbs and
                            negative. Not only is “never” rendered into Chinese by several words,
                            but the word patterns are different for sentences expressing completed
                            action, habitual action, or planned action. For these examples you need

                            “was not able to”. Here you see the auxiliary verb <foreignphrase
                                xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">néng</foreignphrase> used with the
                            negative <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">méi</foreignphrase>.
                            You have learned that state verbs (auxiliary verbs are one type of state
                            verbs) are negated with <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin"
                                >bù</foreignphrase>, (<foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">bù
                                hǎo</foreignphrase>, <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">bù
                                zhīdao</foreignphrase>) not with <foreignphrase
                                xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">méi</foreignphrase>. Here, however, you
                            see <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">méi néng</foreignphrase>
                            instead of <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">bù
                                néng</foreignphrase>. This is an exception to the rule that all
                            state verbs are always negated with <foreignphrase
                                xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">bù</foreignphrase>. Actually, either
                                <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">bù néng</foreignphrase> or
                                <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">méi néng</foreignphrase>
                            would be acceptable in this sentence. Some speakers, however, feel that
                            there is a subtle difference between <foreignphrase
                                xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">bù néng</foreignphrase> and
                                <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">méi néng</foreignphrase>
                            when referring to an event in the past. For example, one can say
                                <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">Wǒ zuótiān méi néng
                                qù</foreignphrase> as well as <foreignphrase
                                xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">Wǒ zuótiān bù néng qù</foreignphrase>.
                                <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">Wǒ zuótiān méi néng
                                qù</foreignphrase> hints at the fact that there was a failure to
                            attain the state of being able to go, whereas <foreignphrase
                                xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">Wǒ zuótiān bù néng qù</foreignphrase>
                            merely describes the state of being unable to go, without making any
                            implications about failure (to attain the state of being able to go).
                            Such a subtle difference in implication may make very little difference
                            in the actual import of a sentence in some contexts, although in other
                            contexts it may be of some significance. (For the first example
                            sentence, you need to know that <foreignphrase
                                xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">mìmi</foreignphrase> means
                                “secret”.)<informaltable frame="none" rowsep="1" colsep="1">

                        “cannot go”. This is a compound verb or result, like <foreignphrase

                        “cannot eat one's fill”. The ending -liǎo is in compounds of potential
                        result (those with -de- or -bu- between the main verb and the resultative
                        ending) with the meaning of “be able to”. You may be thinking (and rightly
                        so) that this is just the meaning added by the use of -<foreignphrase

                            xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">bu</foreignphrase>-. This has led some people
                        to label -<foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">liǎo</foreignphrase> as
                        a “dummy” resultative ending since it does not seem to add any additional
                        information like other more specific endings do (e.g. wan

                    <para>Funeral procedures in the PRC today are very simple. In the interest of
                        sanitation (bodies might have some communicable disease) and economy (ground
                        burials are expensive and consume government agricultural land), deceased
                        city residents are required to be cremated. By government regulation the
                        immediate family is allowed two days of paid leave, <foreignphrase
                            xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">sàng jià</foreignphrase>. The funeral
                        involves someone saying a few kind words about the deceased in the presence
                        of relatives and people from his work unit. Those present are dressed
                        plainly, bearing a white flower. Ashes are placed in carved wood or
                        porcelain boxes in a <foreignphrase xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">gǔhuī
                            cúnfàngchù</foreignphrase>, a building reserved for this purpose. It is
                        not necessary to give anything to the family of the deceased but people
                        sometimes give money or other small items. In the countryside, there might
                        be a large feast at the deceased's home. There is an attitude which says a
                        funeral is a time of gladness when the deceased enters the world of the
                        non-living. [A funeral is a “white joyous event,” <foreignphrase
                            xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin">bái xīshì</foreignphrase>. A wedding is a
