I want to say how happy I am now finally married to my Chinese Prince so I am now officially a YAN JIA REN.<br />We didn't do a fancy wedding as we have no family here in Richmond, BC but hope to do a proper wedding once we see our families again.<br />I want to learn Chinese soon so that when I visit his PARENTS in China I will be able to converse with them.<br />Let's see when we can do that..<br /><br />I would love to have a traditional Chinese wedding with all the trimmings but let's see. Both of us don't drink Alcohol so we will have to sip very little wine or get the fake stuff lol.Yanjiarenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15240792943115044284noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6423999869687086654.post-43606496414568959132008-12-07T15:08:00.000-08:002008-12-07T15:16:01.189-08:00A new Dawn.I haven't posted here for a while due to traveling but I am back now and want to continue and build this blog up to what it used to be. I have just turned vegetarian and am enjoying many Buddhist stories about various Buddhist Saints and their exploits which are quite fascinating and one in particular Arya Avalokite is a veyr popular Bodhisattva and to the Chinese He is identified as KWAN SHI YIN PUSA, as when he came back to Earth to help everyone again he appeared to the Chinese as a girl called Miao Shan which means 'much goodness'.<br /><br />Here is a lovely DHARANI that is all about Avalokite and I hope you can enjoy the music as much as I do. I have many versions of this in Chinese, Vietnamese and Sanskrit renditions and they are all lovely. There is even an upbeat disco version which has become very popular with Buddhists around the World, especially the younger ones.<br />Please enjoy.<br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oazI_zsrlko"><br />Great Compassionate Heart Dharani</a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oazI_zsrlko"><br /></a><br /><br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/oazI_zsrlko&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/oazI_zsrlko&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Yanjiarenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15240792943115044284noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6423999869687086654.post-88370923384429859322008-08-27T09:33:00.000-07:002008-08-27T09:47:24.143-07:00Du Mu, an Exquisite Chinese Poet.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQtIy9yVxyk9wKYF_ByPP0Q8zHkLplJ7xzcAyvPzgiaaGILqLRSmz3SNrBzgG5MYHCcKAYmvMJRkBsYo4Gihmdz4ge-Kt7ebyxvUYn-jEivgAsUbPfpScvGBmswqXUl0Z7GYFSnlO0jfJ2/s1600-h/Du_Mu.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQtIy9yVxyk9wKYF_ByPP0Q8zHkLplJ7xzcAyvPzgiaaGILqLRSmz3SNrBzgG5MYHCcKAYmvMJRkBsYo4Gihmdz4ge-Kt7ebyxvUYn-jEivgAsUbPfpScvGBmswqXUl0Z7GYFSnlO0jfJ2/s400/Du_Mu.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239238670768813074" border="0" /></a><br />One of my favourite Chinese poets has to be Du Mu.

I am not saying this out of bias or personal opinion as the facts recorded over time speak for themselves.<br />It isn't enough that the camps for and against China rage on..no..it is the endless souls that have passed through this culturally enriched land that will tell their story as it is with no frills or embellishments.Yanjiarenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15240792943115044284noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6423999869687086654.post-22567307869441635682008-08-12T13:48:00.000-07:002008-08-12T13:56:02.065-07:00Don't trash the Beijing Olympics anymore.So many people want to trash and boycott the Olympics and go on and on about Human rights before they they are fisxing what is wrong in their own back garden. At least for a few weeks we should all try to see the best in people and get on and look for real solutions to the World Problems at Large instead of always pointing the finger at China just because it has a booming economy and a large population.<br />I don't want to spoil the buoyant mood of the athletes in Beijing trying so hard to compete in a friendly and peaceful environment.<br />They can concentrate on getting rid of Gitmo at least for the next two weeks and let the rest of the World enjoy something nice and safe. There is too much ugliness in the World and finding something pretty to latch on to isn't a bad thing. If the Chinese are trying to show their best face to the world then let them. At least they are trying to create something beautiful in a troubled world.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViiPGbhcyFk">Showcasing China.</a><br /><br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ViiPGbhcyFk&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ViiPGbhcyFk&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Yanjiarenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15240792943115044284noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6423999869687086654.post-30882919863249459832008-08-06T07:17:00.000-07:002008-08-06T07:22:00.313-07:00Looking Forward to the Beijing Olympics.I am really looking forward to the Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremony. Politics aside, it is going to be a fun, festive and full of colour celebration of the diversity and unity of Human kind. I really wish I was there but I will have to watch it from my television screen.<br />I love Chinese Culture as you all know, well at least the best of what China has to offer and I have a feeling that these Olympic Games are going to be beautiful as well as enchanting for all of us who wish to partake in it whether as spectators or Olympic Athletes. I wish personally every one the best for these coming days and I will be on the edge of my seat watching the games.<br />Let's sit back and enjoy and not let our minds get involved with the darker side of Human Nature. That does not mean though that we mustn't be vigilant at all times.Yanjiarenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15240792943115044284noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6423999869687086654.post-1155258485503261552008-07-21T13:07:00.000-07:002008-07-21T13:12:21.542-07:00China town in London.Despite being jet lagged after my Trans Atlantic flight from New York I decided to take my Son to China Town in London for his belated Birthday meal after a good clothes shopping escapade in the West End as he adores Chinese food and has even adopted a Chinese name he likes that he chose from an Anime Movie.<br />He has given himslef another a.k.a Bai Long which means white dragon and it is true his colour is as white as milk lol and so he has another name now Yan Bai Long which is my Fiance's surname and his new Chinese name..<br />We had some awesome crispy duck along with another four course meal and are coming back for more on Sunday as Ipromised to take him to Covent Garden to have a look around too.<br />China Town in London has some peng restaurants and also a great shop to get Chinese art supplies.

For the last three years I have been waiting for this as it is difficult for me to buy from Taobao as most don't accept foreign credit cards or currency, or Paypal for that matter and I also found three dresses that I may think to buy for my wedding dress.<br />Yes we are thinking of the special day to be somewhere in October time and probably will take place in Canada, although I would like a wedding in China too, where my Beloved's family are stationed.<br />I even found a hanfu named after my superhunk hero Zhuge Liang and so I will get that for Hubby to wear as he is my Jiangjun and the Prince of my heart. Here in Chinatown, Manhattan they only sell qipao and I am saddened at this as the Hnfu is more traditionally Chinese than the Qipao. Anyway I mustn't grumble, now I can get hold of Hanfu easily I will keep you posted on my first purchase AND I will no doubt post a pic.Yanjiarenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15240792943115044284noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6423999869687086654.post-83738757389363571772008-06-22T09:32:00.000-07:002008-06-22T09:44:33.809-07:00I am staying here.<span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);font-size:100%;" >I have decided to stay on this blog for now as Wordpress is a bit complicated for me but doesn't matter, while I am tweaking this one I am also in the process of revamping all my blogs. I decided to stay on this template but just change the colour and found this nice header of the Great Wall that I thought might give it an organic look.<br />I removed a lot of rubbish from this blog and am hoping now to put in some more quality content as it was looking too shabby with all the widgets and stuff that were on here. I am going to put stuff that is more relevant to what I am wanting to write about.<br />I will be more busy on this blog, especially as we are now coming up to the <a href="http://en.olympic.cn/china/index.html">Beijing Olympics</a></span> which I wish I could have been there for, never mind I guess China has to wait for next year.

Nice thing is that doing tai ji in the park doesn't raise eyebrows and is quite the norm here in China Town. We get up nice and early with my Beloved and go downstairs to the local park and start a round of Tai Ji. I was doing the 108 yang famly postures before and am trying to remember them once again but also joining in the simplified 24 step Tai Ji rounds which are a collection of postures makiing it a shortened version.<br />We do some qi gong to get the old knees cracking a bit, then some exercises then an arty fary version of the form.well until we can get it more accurate of course.<br />It is fun and makes me feel much healthier now. Sometimes we go down twice a day. It is well worth the exercise. I highly recommend it.</span>Yanjiarenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15240792943115044284noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6423999869687086654.post-64065420825204483722008-04-16T04:47:00.000-07:002008-06-22T09:03:41.398-07:00Chinese Dumplings..I love them.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4Q_geMAv5cyftoW4Bnxe4kgJPkfZjrrWy7rbmE8RYBnnedCJBwcC9eScP1aM0yhHzJU3Wi_vdojKp-I2PTKBS-4GhVVHD2hZ9n5YljXx4vlD_j_OaaXkHKVNd0SUFS-p-x_X7nryGdIIW/s1600-h/r.htm"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4Q_geMAv5cyftoW4Bnxe4kgJPkfZjrrWy7rbmE8RYBnnedCJBwcC9eScP1aM0yhHzJU3Wi_vdojKp-I2PTKBS-4GhVVHD2hZ9n5YljXx4vlD_j_OaaXkHKVNd0SUFS-p-x_X7nryGdIIW/s400/r.htm" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189809769829979714" border="0" /></a><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);font-size:100%;" ><br />I have a great love for Chinese dumplings and so today here is a lovely recipe I used and they turned out pretty awesome to say the least.<br /><br />Jiaozi<br /><br /></span><div style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);" id="preamble"><span style="font-size:100%;">Chinese dumplings (Jiaozi) are very popular during the Chinese New Year season</span></div><h3 style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0); font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Ingredients:</span></h3><ul style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"><li><span style="font-size:100%;">Jiaozi dough:</span></li><li><span style="font-size:100%;">3 cups all-purpose flour</span></li><li><span style="font-size:100%;">up to 1 1/4 cups cold water</span></li><li><span style="font-size:100%;">1/4 teaspoon salt</span></li><li><span style="font-size:100%;">Filling:</span></li><li><span style="font-size:100%;">1 cup ground pork or beef</span></li><li><span style="font-size:100%;">1 TB soy sauce</span></li><li><span style="font-size:100%;">1 teaspoon salt</span></li><li><span style="font-size:100%;">1 TB Chinese rice wine or dry sherry</span></li><li><span style="font-size:100%;">1/4 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper, or to taste</span></li><li><span style="font-size:100%;">3 TB sesame oil</span></li><li><span style="font-size:100%;">1/2 green onion, finely minced</span></li><li><span style="font-size:100%;">1 1/2 cups finely shredded Napa cabbage</span></li><li><span style="font-size:100%;">4 tablespoons shredded bamboo shoots</span></li><li><span style="font-size:100%;">2 slices fresh ginger, finely minced</span></li><li><span style="font-size:100%;">1 clove garlic, peeled and finely minced</span></li></ul><h3 style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0); font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Preparation:</span></h3><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);font-size:100%;" > Stir the salt into the flour. Slowly stir in the cold water, adding as much as is necessary to form a smooth dough. Don't add more water than is ncessary. Knead the dough into a smooth ball. Cover the dough and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.<br /><br />While the dough is resting, prepare the filling ingredients. Add the soy sauce, salt, rice wine and white pepper to the meat, stirring in only one direction. Add the remaining ingredients, stirring in the same direction, and mix well.<br /><br />To make the dumpling dough: knead the dough until it forms a smooth ball. Divide the dough into 60 pieces. Roll each piece out into a circle about 3-inches in diameter.<br /><br />Place a small portion (about 1 level tablespoon) of the filling into the middle of each wrapper. Wet the edges of the dumpling with water. Fold the dough over the filling into a half moon shape and pinch the edges to seal. Continue with the remainder of the dumplings.<br /><br />To cook, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add half the dumplings, giving them a gentle stir so they don't stick together. Bring the water to a boil, and add 1/2 cup of cold water. Cover and repeat. When the dumplings come to a boil for a third time, they are ready. Drain and remove. If desired, they can be pan-fried at this point.<br /><br /></span> <!--/gc--> <div id="bvmr" style="padding-top: 20px; clear: left; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);font-size:13px;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 255, 153);font-size:130%;" ><br /></span>Yanjiarenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15240792943115044284noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6423999869687086654.post-71333301519633614002008-04-13T05:53:00.000-07:002008-06-22T09:05:43.268-07:00Media Spin and the Peacock.<span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);font-size:100%;" >When it come's to the Western Media's portrayal of China, Like our Host Qiman points out, it is always looking at the back side of the Peacock rather than focusing on all its side including its beautiful frontage.

He is a man of great depth and Wisdom and I personally for one hope that his predition doesn't come true. We do not want to be slaves os a war machine for much longer and as I see the standard of living for the average U.S citizen falling and the longer hours each must work to be able to fulfill basic needs makes me really think about all this freedom and democracy baloney as they say across the pond. If they are so free then why are most of their taxes going into the war coffers? If that is called freedom and democracy well I really beg to differ. By the way doesn't he look really buff in that rasberry red jacket?</span></div><br /><br /><a style="color: rgb(255, 204, 204);" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9i2g8iWjfwk">race and war</a><br /><br /><object height="355" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/9i2g8iWjfwk&hl=en"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/9i2g8iWjfwk&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="355" width="425"></embed></object><br /></span>Yanjiarenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15240792943115044284noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6423999869687086654.post-61503924320176035942008-03-14T11:31:00.000-07:002008-03-14T11:37:26.665-07:00Black guy sings peng mongolian song.<span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 255, 204);font-size:130%;" >This guy has got me going lol. He has a fantastic voice and his rendition of this Chinese/Mongolian song has really inspired me to want to learn better to sing in Chinese. I really think you should take some time to listen to this beautiful song as it has made me cry.<br />I am thinking again of my beloved acroess the Pond who is the only person on this earth that makes me feel a sense of belongign and at home. I don't understand why but I feel like this and I can't wait to be with him again. All this music makes me cry and want to be closer to him and not three thousand miles away.<br />You will understand how I feel and why I love Chinese musci so much.
