Over the years, we as Americans have tried to learn about and connect with the great heritage and culture of China, the Central Kingdom. What I find most intriguing is the language itself. It offers functionality and graphic beauty beyond any other language written or spoken on the globe. I have also learned that one of the unique forms and crown jewel of the Chinese language is symmetrical pairing, or “dui lian”; in which a pair of perfectly symmetrical and parallel sentences are displayed and further enhanced with intonation. The dui lian artform plays an important role in cultural traditions and is widely used in homes, temples and other important gathering places. So before our trip, we decided to play this Chinese word game, it serves as a fitting exercise as our main function here is to tell the great story of our county, Fort Bend. We created the first half of the dui lian with great care; Fort Bend si hai, with which we want to pass the message that Fort Bend County is blessed with enormous natural beauty and resources overflowing to reach seven seas, the Chinese prefer to call them the 4 seas. We issued a challenge to the world via Witmart.com to come up with the second half of the dui lian. The contest got immediate attention and received many good entries in a very short time. Here are some interesting ones, while some of them were good enough in sense of artform requirements, none captured the essence and spirit of the our original. Then this entry truly commanded our attention. This one is perfect and aligns with each aspect of dui lian. Now the second half compliments the first half to make it a complete work. The first portion presented the element of space, that blessings reach all 4 seas. The second half compliments that space by referencing the element of time; that Buddhist heritages have endured more than a thousand years, ‘qian nian’. This is truly a great pairing. Fort Bend is our great county, in Texas, and Chan Cheng happens to be the nick name for this lovely city with proud history and great people. Change the cheng character with same sound, to better match the original form. This pairing is very appropriate, even in English I realize the relevance of associating the two great municipal units. We have many things in common. Both are in the south, next to the fourth largest city in the nation. One of the most respected citizens from Foshan is Wong Fey Hong, who was a great Kung Fu master, and we Texans are proud to have many cowboys. When you merge the dedication of Wong Fey Hong and the toughness of the cowboys together, what do you get? Both of these great basketball players, Tracy McGrady, and many of your beloved Rockets, live in Fort Bend County. I appreciate the hospitality and we as a delegation want to thank the host and wish you the best. |

多年以来，作为美国人的我们一直在尝试了解和联系中国，即中央之国，的伟大传统与文化。我发现最美妙的是其语言本身。其功能性及书法之美超过了这个地球上的其他任何书面或口头语言。 我还了解到汉语中堪称皇冠上的宝石的独有的形式之一，即对称性地配对，或称为“对联”；一对句子按对称性和平行性显示，发音也进一步具有相似的性质。对联的艺术形式在文化传统中扮演了重要的角色并且在家庭，庙宇及其他一些重要的集会场所广泛使用。 因此在旅行之前，我们决定玩一玩这个中国文字游戏。这是一个热身练习，因为我们的主要目的是讲述我们福特本德郡的故事。我们认真地给出第一联；福特本德四海（Fort Bend si hai），其中我们想传达的意思是祝愿福特本德郡享有巨大的自然美景和资源，多的可达七大洋，而中国人喜欢称其为四海。 我们通过网站Witmart.com向全世界发出这个挑战，以争得第二联。此竞赛立即引起关注并且在很短的时间内收到了很多很好的句子。这里有一些有趣的句子，尽管其中一些具有很好的艺术形式，但是没有捕捉到我们原作的实质和精神。 这个句子确实引起了我们的高度关注。此句非常完美并且符合对联的各个方面的要求。 现在后半句呼应前半句成为了一个完整的作品。 第一部分表达了空间的元素，祝福遍及四海。第二部分与空间呼应，参考了时间的元素；佛教传统持续了一千年，“千年”。这确实是个好对子。 福特本德是我们伟大的郡县，位于德克萨斯州。chan cheng恰好是这个可爱城市的别名，拥有着荣耀的历史和伟大的人民。将cheng换成另一个同音词，很好地吻合了最初的形式。 这个配对很恰当，即使是仅凭英语，我也能感到两个城市之间的关系。我们有很多共同的地方。都在南方，紧邻我国的第四大城市。 来自佛山的一位最受尊敬的市民是功夫大师黄飞鸿，而我们德克萨斯州人最值得骄傲的就是有很多牛仔。当你把黄飞鸿的献身精神与牛仔们的坚强合并在一起，你会得到什么呢？ 这些伟大的篮球队员，特雷西•麦克格雷迪以及你们热爱的火箭队的很多球员，都居住在福特本德郡。 我很感激你们的热情好客，我们最为一个代表团很感谢主人的款待并献上最美好的祝福。 |
