The Great Wall
长城
The Great Wall is one of the wonders of the world that created by human beings! If you
come to China without climbing the Great Wall, it's just like going Paris without visiting
the Eiffel Tower; or going to Egypt without visiting the Pyramids! Men often say, "He
who doest not reach the Great Wall is not a true man."In fact, it began as independent
walls for different states when it was first built, and did not become the "Great Wall" until
the Qin Dynasty. However, the wall we see today, starting from Shanhaiguan Pass in the
east to Jiayunguan Pass in the west, was mostly built during the Ming Dynasty.

Dumplings
饺子
Dumplings are one of the Chinese people's favorite traditional dishes. According to an
ancient Chinese legend, dumplings were first made by the medical saint---Zhang
Zhongjing. There are three steps involved in making dumplings: 1) make dumpling
wrappers out of dumpling flour; 2) prepare the dumpling stuffing; 3) make dumplings and
boil them. With thin and elastic dough skin, fresh and tender stuffing, delicious taste, and
unique shapes, dumplings are worth eating hundreds of times. There's an old saying that
claims, “Nothing could be more delicious than dumplings”. During the Spring Festival
and other holidays, or when treating relatives and friends, Chinese people like to follow
the auspicious custom of eating dumplings. To Chinese people who show high reverence
for family love, having dumplings at the moment the old year is replaced by the new is an
essential part of bidding farewell to the old and ushering in the new year.

Chinese Chopsticks
筷子
The Chinese way of eating with chopsticks is unique in the world. The recorded history of
chopsticks started more than three thousand years ago. Chopsticks were named zhu in
ancient Chinese. They look deceptively simple to use, but possess multi-various functions,
such as clamping, turning over, lifting up, raking, stirring, scooping, poking, tearing, and
so on. Chopsticks were taken as an auspicious mascot by ordinary people in ancient
China. For example, the partial tone of chopsticks is often used by people as a metaphor
at weddings to indicate a blessing or benediction for the couple to have a baby soon.
Unlike using a knife and fork or one's own hands, a pair of chopsticks also implies the
meaning of “Harmony is what matters”. Chopsticks are highly praised by Westerners as a
hallmark of ancient oriental civilization.

Chinese kung fu
中国功夫
Chinese kung fu, or Chinese martial arts, carries traditional Chinese culture in abundance.
It is a traditional Chinese sport which applies the art of attack and defence in combat and
the motions engaged with a series of skill and tricks. The core idea of Chinese king fu is
derived from the Confucian theory of both the mean and harmony” and “cultivating qi”
(otherwise known as nourishing one's spirit). Meanwhile, it also includes thoughts of
Taoism and Buddhism. Chinese kung fu has a long history, with multi-various sects and
many different boxing styles, and emphasizes coupling hardness with softness and
internal and external training. It contains the ancient great thinkers' pondering of life and
the universe. The skills in wielding the 18 kinds of weapons named by the later
generations mainly involve the skills of bare-handed boxing, such as shadow boxing
(Taijiquan), form and will boxing (Xingyiquan), eight trigram palm (Baguazhang), and
the skills of kung fu weaponry, such as the skill of using swords, spears, two-edged
swords and halberds, axes, tomahawks, kooks, prongs and so on.
Chinese characters
汉字
Chinese characters were initially meant to be simple pictures used to help people
remember things. After a long period of development, it finally became a unique
character system that embodies phonetic sound, image, idea, and rhyme at the same
time. The writing system, which was extremely advanced in ancient times, began with
inscriptions on bones and tortoise shells, and these are regarded as the original forms of
Chinese characters. Afterwards, Chinese characters went through numerous
calligraphic styles: bronze inscriptions, official script, regular script, cursive script,
running script, etc. Chinese characters are usually round outside and square inside,
which is rooted in ancient Chinese beliefs of an orbicular sky and a rectangular Earth.
The five basic strokes of Chinese characters are (the horizontal stroke) (the
vertical stroke), 丿”( the left-falling stroke), (the right-falling stroke), and
(the turning stroke).
