[quote=CHIIIINITA              ,26085]MAY001, your reply was reaaaaally interesting to me, I had never thought about the "Three Obeys". In fact, I read once that children were supossed to be really respectful to their parents and grandparents....doesn't that include the mothers too? Or just the male relatives?By the way, I believe that travelling is something more than enjoying beautiful landscapes and visiting tourist attractions, culture is most interesting fact about going to different countries...so, why not do ask all our doubts about differences between cultures in a travelling forum? Where else to get a better answer than the one you all can give to us, you that have travelled, lived or are chinese?I am really sorry if you thought that the post has become an argument, because I don't think so... actually it's a pitty that we cannot see the facial expressions of the people when replying, because really I have always a big smile! :DPinetree, it's very interesting to know that you had such a figure in your past, because as you said, we didn't have it in western countries. The roll that could be the most similar to your scholars, would be our ancient monks spendind their lifes rewritting books and studying, but I don't think that's the same, because the couldn't get marry...That's why I guess the expression "Be a man..", as showing to be strong, doesn't have its origins in the old China. In fact, always when I hear this sentence, my mind always associate it to men in Texas wearing cowboy boots, chewing tobacco and making themselves a tatoo while drinking a beer... ;)  (no ofense no Texas men)And I really wasn't menting to turn it into a battle of sexs!!! nooo!!! jajajja...but you know, some sentences had a lot of things implyed, and an answers leads to another answer...and you know, usually when you start talking about strawberry cakes, the most probably is that you're going to end talking about the best way of cleaning your bike! :DIn any case...isn't it great to have such different cultures all around the world??? I love it! :)[/quote]
