Your "incredibly caucasian" boyfriend?  I didn't realize Caucasian was so incredible . . . ;-)\n\nWell, you've asked what a red cord means to an Asian, and so my answer is a side-bar.  I can tell you what it means to a witch, although it would be worn around the waist, not the neck.  A red cord is an elder; one who is responsible for teaching and aiding the young, and carrying on the traditions, and doing the Great Work.  Said Great Work is, however, defined very differently by different witches.  But anyway, an elder.

It's called a hongbau - hong meaning red, and bau meaning bag, envelope, container.\nIn Chinese culture, you're supposed to give an amount that can be divided by two without any halves - 30 would not be good because you would get 15 - the five being seen as a half. If you're a bridesmaid, you would definately be expected to give nothing less that $100, as you've been chosen for such an honorable position. And if you've known the bride for some time, even $100 would be a little stingy. If possible, I would suggest $200. Otherwise, why don't you go out and get them something special, then put it somewhere out of sight in her/their house. In your red envelope put a little riddle to help them get to the gift. It could be a little game between you, and I'm sure it would give them much pleasure going on their scavenger hunt. \nBut, be careful - no clocks, watches, handkerchiefs (even if they are sooooo beautiful). These are all associated with funerals. If you have a choice of color, go for something red (provided it will fit in with their color scheme). Red is a "happy" color for Chinese.\nGood luck with your search, and have a wonderful time at the wedding!

Most likely this phrase refers to the People's Republic of China, whose capital is Beijing.  It's sort of like there are two of them, though, so let me explain.\n\nIf you look at a map of China and nearby countries, you will see an island called Taiwan or Formosa across from Fujian/Fukien province.  In the 1940s and before, there was a huge civil war in China between two sides called the Communists and the Nationalists.  Long story short, the Communists eventually gained the upper hand and chased the Nationalists completely off the continent in 1949.  The Nationalists fled to Taiwan, which is a province of China as a whole.  The Communists were about to cross over and finish the job when the US blocked them, because they thought that every country in Asia would turn Communist if the US didn't start aggressively trying to "contain the spread of communism."\n\nSo what you had was two governments, each claiming that there was only one country called China, but that the government on the other side of the water was merely a pretender, and the one on their own side was the only legitimate government of all China.  And everything got stuck in this weird stalemate for the next 50 years or so after 1949.\n\nTo the rest of the world, there were two countries. Communist "Mainland" China or Red China has its capital in Beijing and is technically called the People's Republic of China aka PRC.  The country on Taiwan is called the Republic of China, aka ROC, and its capital is in Taipei.

History of the Necktie\n\nRegardless of the fact that the definition of the necktie in most dictionaries states "a large band of fabric worn around the neck under the collar and tied in front with the ends hanging down as a decoration", its history says a lot more. Men have always found it necessary to tie something around their necks. The earliest historical example is in ancient Egypt. The rectangular piece of cloth that was tied and hung down till the shoulders was a very important part of an Egyptian’s clothing because it was showing his social status. In China, all the statues around the grave of Emperor Shi Huang Ti bear a piece of cloth around their necks, which is considered an ancestor of the modern necktie.  In art from the Roman Empire, men are also depicted bearing neckwear that much resembles the contemporary necktie. \n\nCroatta\n\nThe real expansion of neckties in Europe happened in 17th century. The necktie became a true mania when Louis XIV noted the band of fabric that  Croatian soldiers were wearing around their necks . The etymological root of the word "necktie" comes from there ("Cravatte" - French) - from the Croatian word "Croatta".

Are you talking about a string of beads with a cross on it? If so, THAT is called a ROSARY.\nCatholic's use it frequently in their prayers.

A cross is a symbol reminding us that Jesus was crusified and died so that people could be forgiven for their sins, I have a few crosses around and wear them too.  Your rosary beads sound beautiful.  Treasure them and if they are not blessed go ask a priest to bless them.

Your best bet would be to just ask your mom, like someone has already mentioned, but you could also look at symbols.com  It has listings of all sorts of western symbols and their meanings.  I've included a link to one symbol that looks like it may be what you're looking for.  If so, it's probably a protective symbol.
