Chinese Blessing/Curse: May you live in interesting times

Those shaolin monks ala David Carradine were deadly...

"How do you kill someone with a Chinese blessing?"

Harmony and not-rocking-the boat are valued traits in Chinese culture. Go-along to get-along type stuff.

A typical Chinese curse/blessing would be - "May you live in interesting times/have an interesting life".

The key here is the use of 'interesting' - its is a rough translation equivalent to ' non-harmonious, troblesome, turmoil - that sort of condition.

Subtle, but its a sly way of blessing and cursing someone while sweetly smiling at them with gritted teeth.

It says:

Front: "You good man, go Heaven! (see reverse)"

Back: "You go now! Bye-bye!"
