A price list for Chinese blind dates that has been widely circulated on the net has triggered a 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 single children.

The parks display profiles about single men and women detailing their household registration, income level, property, education and other hard constraints.

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

To be grouped in the top echelon, a man should be worth at least 5.6 million yuan, have a Beijing hukou (registered residence), own a house in Beijing’s key regions like Dongcheng, Xicheng or Haidian districts, drive a good car and earn more than 50,000 yuan per month, have a master's degree or doctorate, or have studied abroad.

For a woman to be classed as top, she must be beautiful, have a Beijing hukou , own a house in Dongcheng, Xicheng or Haidian districts, drive a good car, earn more than 20,000 yuan per month and have a bachelor's or master's degree.
