Posted on: 风水与五行
February 20, 2009, 04:21 AM似乎南方人，尤其是港片里面比较多。北方也就农村办丧事的时候还讲究，其它情况就是感觉到不对了才想起来风水。这个东西应该算糟粕吧？什么五行，阴阳，八卦的，我就觉得没什么可取之处。
不知道外国的有钱人讲不讲究类似这些的东东。

yes,"已经到期了" is the same with "已经过期了" or “已经失效了”。 all are perfect Chinese. all mean no more valid, or expired.

February 20, 2009, 02:17 AMhi henrysmommy,
your explanation does make sense.
the english sign in China is awkward, so don't take it so serious.
there're lots of amusing translation.
Guiyang is the capital of Guizhou province, translated to "expensive sun", coz "Gui" is "expensive","yang" is sun.
干果 is nut， but translated into "fuck fruit",coz "干 in slang means to fuck"

February 19, 2009, 03:20 AMlotus is a metaphor of buddha in the poem.
if you know the proverb,you will realize it.
“放下屠刀，立地成佛” drop the butcher knife, become buddha at once.
of course it's hyperbole, but the Zen buddhism believe it.
for the lotus and buddha relation, you can refer to this:
