Everything is determined by fate: Chinese people apply the concept of fate not only to love, but to all relationships between people, including the blood fate which binds one to parents and relatives, the marriage fate between husband and wife, the fate of friendship which ties friends together, and even the "Buddha fate" and the bonds of fate between the living and the dead which link humans to the world beyond.
不只是情緣，中國人把緣用在所有人與人的互動上，包括和父母至親的血緣、夫妻間的姻緣、朋友間的友緣，甚至和未知世界的佛緣或人鬼緣等等。
