    Sexism

    Marriage and Family

    In Lien Ji, marriages are arranged through a matchmaker, who will often use numerology to determine a match and the wedding date. The young couple traditionally does not meet until the wedding day. The groom’s family presents prolific gifts to the bride’s family, symbolizing respect and kindness towards them, as well as the capability of providing a good life for the girl. A dowry, often representing land or other property, is sent to the groom ahead of the bride.

    The wedding ceremony begins with the groom overcoming a series of difficulties to retrieve the bride from her home. The bride, dressed in bright festive colors, must cry with her mother to show her reluctance to leave home before being led or carried by her eldest brother to the groom’s carriage.

    At the temple, the bride is led along a red carpet in a festive atmosphere while the groom kowtows to the gods, the parents and her. Then the new couple goes to their bridal chamber and guests are treated to a feast. On the third day of the marriage, the new couple returns to the bride's parents' home to stay before going to their permanent home (either with his family or on the property from her dowry).

    Architecture

    Lien Ji architecture is mainly timberwork, with many carvings and painted murals. Archways tend to be rounded or Circular and interior walls serve as the separation of rooms without bearing any weight. Large buildings are laid out symmetrically around a central court yard with less important structures running along the north/south axis.

    • gollark: Then you get the *fun* and *excitement* of dealing with buffer overflow issues.
    gollark: If it was an actual char vector thingy, it would not be null terminated.
    gollark: In sane languages, instead of being null-terminated, a string is basically a byte vector/array/whatever which has an actual length, reducing all the buffer overflow problems and making it so you can get lengths without iterating over the whole string.
    gollark: Er, null termination.
    gollark: Strings are cool, since you don't run into nullpointer nonsense.
