The first haircut for a human has special significance in certain cultures and religions. It can be considered a rite of passage or a milestone.
A Chinese
baby often receives its first haircut at the start of its first month.
Traditionally, for the past decades the baby's head was shaved except at
the top of the crown to remove the hair they considered was grown in
the womb. The cut hair was then tied with red string and saved as a keepsake

Chinese Names
Chinese surnames are said to have originated in the prehistorical matriarchal society. The character for surname, Xing (), is a combination of two other characters, Nv () and Sheng (), meaning 'born of woman. An ancient Chinese name often included 3 parts: first the family name, followed by the given name, and then what's known as the 'style.'
Chinese people always attach great importance to the choice of names. As the old saying goes, under the right name, then can it be within your jurisdiction. In the Chinese earliest dictionary it was explained as follows: name contained the invisible fate and the visible and meaning characters. Fate was something intangible and negative, it coincided with 'the hidden material,' on which the Western scientists are working hard to find out. With concrete form and meaning, name belonged to the positive symbol of characters. It functioned far more than just a code for every specific person.
Therefore in the past, when elders named a new born baby, they took several factors into full consideration: the astrological principles, the birthdate, the array of five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, and earth) told by the fortune-teller, the form, pronunciation, and meaning of name. Now superstition being lessened and constraints reduced, there are still some rules of thumb to be followed:

Now superstition being lessened and constraints reduced, there are still some rules of thumb to be followed:
- balance between the baby's birthdate and the five elements in its life, try to remedy the defects with the name;
- try to avoid the same initial consonant and simple or compound vowel (of a Chinese syllable), and the same tone in the characters is not preferred either;
- as to the form, a character with not too many strokes nor the same component will be a good choice;
- the preference for the meaning of a character changes with time.
- cannot repeat the character that is already used by the elderly in the family tree;

What is Liuli Crystal?
What is Liuli Crystal?
Colored glaze or "Liu-li" in Chinese was praised as the first of Chinese Top-five famous wares (The rest are gold-and-silver, jade, pottery, bronze). Liuli or Colored Glaze, was the term used to describe glass during the Chinese Tang Dynasty. The art work is made from a combination of glass and lead dioxide.
The term ‘Liuli’ was first found in the Buddhist Sutra. In the religious scripture, the ‘Light of Liuli’ signifies the elimination of greed and desire, illumination of the spirit of Buddhism and the spreading of the glory of Buddha far and wide.
During the Tang Dynasty, the Chinese nation prospered and its architecture flourished. A form of glazed pottery known as the ‘Tang tri-colored glazed pottery’ had already earned great fame in the region. A potter succeeded in experimenting with the pottery by adding an ancient eaves tile material used in construction and this produced the signature translucency that is associated with the world-famous ‘Liuli’ today.
