Cleverpig has collaborated in the translation of tons of db4o documents to Chinese together with his team. His work has been invaluable since the db4o Chinese community is huge!

That's a jade pendants from my brother who has a traditional art store in Beijing!
And That was carved with "Chinese dragon and phoenix".It presents:"good fortune as one wishes; good luck and happiness to you",all are my wishes for you.
A little story about dragon and phoenix:
In China, the fictional dragon and the phoenix are traditional animals that symbolize auspiciousness. Along with the kylin and tortoise, they were known as the "Four Supernatural Spirits."
Dragons are deeply rooted in Chinese culture: Chinese people often consider themselves "the descendants of the dragon" and Chinese emperors thought they were real dragons and the sons of heaven. Thus, their beds were appropriately called "dragon beds," their throne, "dragon seat," and their ceremonial robes, "dragon robes." Also, dragons, which are a symbol of imperial power, can be spotted on many buildings in the imperial palace. (Dragon screens are an important part of this dragon culture.)
The Chinese phoenix, likewise, exists only in legends and fairy tales. The phoenix was commonly referred to as the "King of Birds." As sovereign of all birds, it has the head of a golden pheasant, a parrot's beak, the body of a mandarin duck, the wings of a roc, peacock feathers and the legs of the crane. With its elaborate beauty, it reigns over the feathered world.
Wow, that's pretty cool.
I didn't know the international community for db4o was so deep. I had just considered it a handy tool that only me and a couple of my friends knew about. It's neat that guys like you are out there advocating for it.

Thanks Ethan!
