7. Yi Cheng Hero Prosperity Sailing Engraved Fountain Pen
What is the first thing you will say to your friend when you meet? ¡°Hello, how are you doing?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine and I have to get going? Farewell and have a nice day?¡± Now, Imagine yourself in China, far from your home, deep into the orient. You will be astonished by what come next. In China and the rest of the Asian countries, the first word when meeting any chinese is ¡° Have you taken your lunch?¡± since the chinese are so proud of their own cuisine, eating then seems to be a logical topic of discussion. Asking the weather or how are you will definitely raise a curious look from stranger. Yes you are in China and East is East and West is West, neither the twin shall meet. So what similarity do the chinese and the rest of the world have? Fortunately we share the same greetings when sending someone off to a far away place. To the French, it is Bon Voyage, to the Englishmen, Have a safe journey and to the Chines it is ¡°Yi Lu Shun Feng¡± literally translated as May the Wind blow in the same directly as your journey¡± Of course if the wind bows the sail in the same direction as you wanted to go, you will reach your destination faster and safer. It may not be so relevant in modern days where air travel is common, but remember in those days, the only mode of transport between countries is by ship, whose speed are dependent on wind direction. Hence this age old Chinese saying remains true to this day, a common usage when sending someone off to far away places. Yi Cheng is proud to bring this latest release - Ancient Chinese blessing onto our Oriental Fountain Pen. We have been actively promoting Chinese history and culture in our writing instrument. Such unique pens are hard to find otherwise without our effort. Our unique Smooth Sailing Fountain pen is accented in 18K gold plated Cap while having a jet black resin barrel. The cap shows a deeply etched sailing boat with the sail having the four chinese character ¡°Yi Lu Shun Feng¡± . A seagull hovering in the air symbolizes the freedom the china man will enjoy once escaped from the cruelty and agony of his homeland. (in the 1960s, china is experiencing draught and flood, the Tangshan earthquake , in addition to the mass human disaster brought about by the communist Cultural Revolution)
