[quote=GLOMAC,388901]For many Chinese, the Year of the Tiger will bring economic prowess and global clout, but couples planning to marry are better off waiting until 2011, according to fortune-tellers. Superstition is still a strong force in China and different beliefs have soared in popularity since the reform and opening up of the 1970s. The traditional Chinese zodiac is made up of 12 animals, with each year having its own particular characteristics, such as those good for having a baby or starting a business. The tiger brings with it mythical heroic powers, but the coming Chinese New Year is an inauspicious one for marriage. "If you marry this year, your husband may die earlier," Joyce Lin, a 25-year-old college graduate, told Reuters. "My parents are not superstitious, so I'm not, but in our opinion it is not a good time for marriage." People in Anhui province also say "tiger babies" are often too aggressive. Babies born in the afternoon are called "hungry tigers" and it is believed the children will have problems finding food later in life. WHY PEOPLE FEEL LIKE THAT ? [/quote]
