| | Culture of China - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Though regional differences provide a sense of diversity, commonalities in language and religion connect a culture distinguished by such universally significant contributions as Confucianism. | | | Like Chinese scroll paintings, the principle underlying the garden's composition is to create enduring flow, to let the patron wander and enjoy the garden without prescription, as in nature herself. | | | At this point, Chinese Buddhist art began to flourish, a process which continued through the 8th century. |

| | Chinese Zodiac, Chinese Astrology, Chinese, Chinese culture |
| | Since the Chinese zodiac follows the Chinese lunar calendar, the switch over date for each sign is according to the Chinese New Year, not January 1 of the western calendar. | | | The Chinese Zodiac is based on a twelve year cycle --- each year being represented by an animal that imparts distinct characteristics to its year. | | | Those who are serious about the fortune telling aspect of the signs can consult a table, such as the one below. |

| | The guardians in the Fa family temple are the Chinese zodiac. | | | One thing that distinguished the Chinese from the "barbarians" was that the Chinese kept their hair tied neatly in a bun while outsiders let their hair fly freely, like ghosts. | | | This continues to be a revered part of Chinese culture. |

| | Chinese New Year - Stories from Australia's Culture and Recreation Portal |
| | According to the Chinese zodiac, you take on the characteristics of the animal associated with the year of your birth, but those characteristics are also influenced by what time of day you're born, what fixed element you belong to (water, metal, wood, fire, earth), as well as the influence of Yin and Yang. | | | The Chinese tradition follows a different calendar to the calendar followed in Australia - Australia follows the Gregorian calendar. | | | Although the People's Republic of China follows the Gregorian calendar for its day-to-day business, the dates of the Chinese New Year and other important festivals are determined by the Chinese calendar. |

| | Reflections: Chinese Culture and Adopted Children |
| | Culture comprises the customs and values that your family imparts to you through day-to-day living, traditional holiday celebrations and other practices. | | | We certainly want our daughters to know that they are loved and completely a part of our families, but respecting and honoring and acknowledging their heritage is part of that. | | | I have no fantasy that I am reproducing in anyway their culture. |

| | Daoism and Chinese Culture by Livia Kohn |
| | This division, however, does not mean or even imply that Daoist thought occurred only in ancient times, that religious communities appeared only in the early middle ages, or that spiritual practices were the prerogatives of the Tang and Song dynasties. | | | A long-awaited textbook that introduce the major schools, teachings, and practices of Daoism, this work presents a chronological survey that is thematically divided into four parts: Ancient Thought, Religious Communities, Spiritual Practices, and Modernity. | | | It offers an integrated vision of the Daoist tradition in its historical and cultural context, establishing connections with relevant information on Confucianism, Chinese Buddhism, popular religion, and political developments. |

| | That’s why in a place like HongKong, “Guan Gong” is prayed by many as a god or deity (the irony of it all is that he is revered by people on both sides of the law: the police and the gangsters BOTH prayed to him!!!). | | | For the last 1700 years, “Guan Gong” has been revered by the Chinese as a national hero and “god”, symbolising “loyalty” and “bravery” at the same time. | | | Some people say the 5th day or the 7th day of Chinese New Year are suitable for “kai gong da4 ji2″ (auspicious days to resume business) … but I say everyday is an auspicious day if we work hard and smart. |

| | Until recent centuries, China had one of the highest literacy rates in the world and more than half of the world's literature was written in Chinese characters. | | | Despite these unparalleled achievements, many people in the last century viewed Chinese characters as inferior to the more purely phonetic writing systems of Western languages. | | | For instance "zhongwen", meaning the Chinese language, has two characters as explained above. |
