A price list for Chinese blind dates that has been widely circulated on the internet.It has triggered heated discussion with users dubbing the list a "chain of scorn in marriage".

The list is a common guideline for parents who go to "blind date parks" in Beijing looking for matches for their children.

The parks display profiles about single men and women detailing their household registration, income, property, education and other personal information.

A ranking system has evolved to divide singles into different types as top, high class, standard, low, simple and no consideration.
