Help us name our new China blog

恭喜發財! 龍馬精神!
恭喜发财! 龙马精神!

Update, January 30th: Many thanks to many readers for their 700+ suggestions. We are still fiddling with the timing of the blog's launch, but will anyway welcome further submissions for the rest of this week. (And today we add a simplified-character repetition of our new-year exhortations, a week after the holiday began, to please readers who felt the mainland was getting short shrift!)
READERS are invited to suggest a name for our new blog on all things to do with China, which will be launched in February. It will cover politics big and small, from the tea leaves of Zhongnanhai to the hillside prefectures of the Wuyishan, business and economics on every scale, pop culture, historiography, the odd travelogue, and lots in between. This leaves a lot of range as far as the blog's name goes (it doesn't need to begin with "B", or refer to a tree). Ideally it will accord with the style and 19th-century origins of The Economist. Please enter your proposed name in the comment thread below. We await your suggestions with interest.
