Talk:Red string of fate

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Japanese belief?

From what I know, it's an ancient Chinese belief that people are tied with red strings.... I'm going to do some research. --Wirbelwindヴィルヴェルヴィント (talk) 01:43, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

I am only familiar with it from references to it in anime and manga, if it originates from China (so do a lot of Japanese myths) the please add this info with the proper references. --GracieLizzie 10:27, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

I don't know where it originated from, but an ancient myth in China has it, as google will show. However, I didn't find anything solid that I can reference. --Wirbelwindヴィルヴェルヴィント (talk) 17:16, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Here's a site that says "The origin of this concept is somewhat up in the air, with people claiming many different countries of origin and/or religions for it (Japan, China, various European nations, Judaism, Buddhism, and many others), but the usage is clear regardless." --Wirbelwindヴィルヴェルヴィント (talk) 17:26, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] References

I added the reference listed above and two more from a site about Asian wedding customs. Hopefully that's enough to justify the tag removal. Tsewukong 04:50, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
