Chinese history is generally
divided into dynasties or
periods during which
particular family or group
of people reigned.
Chinese states were unified
into a large empire with a
central government.
The Chinese empire lasted
for over two thousand
years surviving periods of
internal turmoil, attacks
from outside invaders and
the rise and fall of
numerous dynasties.
The poet T’ao Ch’ien lived
during the period known
as the Six Dynasties (220
A.D – 581 A.D), one of the
most tumultuous eras in the
Chinese History.

CULTURE
Chinese Wedding Traditions
Red is the Color of Weddings
in China
Red is central to
the wedding theme of
China. It signifies
love, joy and
prosperity and is
used in variety of
ways in Chinese
wedding traditions.
Chinese Wedding Traditions
The bride's wedding
gown is often red,
as are the wedding
invitations, and
wedding gift boxes
or envelopes for
cash gifts. Even the
bride and groom's
homes are decorated
in red on the
wedding day.
Chinese Wedding Traditions
Before the Chinese
Wedding Day
A Chinese bride
traditionally goes
into seclusion
with her closest
friends. This
Chinese custom
gives the bride-
to-be some time to
symbolically mourn
the loss of her
friends and
family.
Chinese Wedding Traditions
Some time before the
couple are married, the
groom’s family carries
wedding gifts in red
baskets and boxes to the
bride’s house.
One of the basket contain
“uang susu” or “milk
money”. Others will
contain personal things
for the bride, so that on
her wedding day all of
her personal belongings
will be in the groom’s
house.
Chinese Wedding Traditions
The bride takes the
gifts to another
room where they are
sorted through.
Three days before
the wedding day,
women from the
bride’s family
reciprocate, bearing
gifts– including
some returns in red
wrapping to the
grooms family.
Chinese Wedding Traditions
The Day of the Wedding
Ceremony
Wedding
anniversaries in
China, are carefully
chosen according to
astrological signs.
It is also customary
for couples to be
married on the half-
hour or their
wedding day rather
than at the top of
the hour.
Chinese Wedding Traditions
In this way, the
couple begins their
new lives together
on an “upswing”,
while the hands of
the clock are moving
up, rather than
down.

Chinese food
• Chinese cuisine includes styles originating from
the diverse regions of China, as well as from
Chinese people in other parts of the world. The
history of Chinese cuisine in China stretches
back for thousands of years and has changed
from period to period and in each region
according to climate, imperial fashions, and
local preferences. Over time, techniques and
ingredients from the cuisines of other cultures
were integrated into the cuisine of the Chinese
people due both to imperial expansion and
from the trade with nearby regions in pre-
modern times, and from Europe and the New
World in the modern period.
• Over time, techniques and
ingredients from the cuisines of
other cultures were integrated into
the cuisine of the Chinese people
due both to imperial expansion and
from the trade with nearby regions
in pre-modern times, and from
Europe and the New World in the
modern period.
• Styles and tastes also varied by class,
region, and ethnic background. This
led to an unparalleled range of
ingredients, techniques, dishes and
eating styles in what could be called
Chinese food, leading Chinese to
pride themselves on eating a wide
variety of foods while remaining true
to the spirit and traditions of Chinese
food culture.
The Chinese Language
• Chinese ( 漢語 ) comprises of seven
main dialects, Mandarin ( 官 話 ),
Cantonese (廣州話, 廣府話), Hakka (
客家話), Wu (吳語), Min (閩語), Xiang
(湘語), and Gan (贛語) (Fig. 1). The
variety of Mandarin based on the
speech in the capital Beijing is the
official national language of mainland
China and is termed Pŭtōnghuà,
Common language (普通話). The de
facto common language in Hong Kong
and overseas Chinese communities is
Cantonese. Amongst the official
languages of Taiwan are Mandarin,
Taiwanese, and Hakka (Fig. 1).
Chinese alphabet
• There are and have been several
Chinese alphabets, that is pre-existing
alphabets adapted to write down the
Chinese language. However, the
standard Chinese writing system uses a
non-alphabetic script with an alphabet
for supplementary use.[1] There is no
original alphabet native to China. China
has its Pinyin system though sometimes
the term is used anyway to refer to
logographic Chinese characters
(sinograms). It is more appropriately
used, though, for phonemic
transcriptions such as pinyin.
• Chinese Currency – Renminbi (RMB)
• Chinese yuan, also known as Renminbi, is used
throughout in mainland China, while in Hong Kong and
Macau, Hong Kong dollar and pataca are respectively
used. The basic unit of Renminbi is Yuan and the sign
of Yuan is ¥.
• The metric conversion about Chinese Yuan is :
• 1Yuan=10jiao 1jiao=10fen
• In some parts of China, yuan is called kuai and jiao is
referred as mao. Chinese money is issued by the
People's Bank of China in denominations of one, two,
five, ten, twenty, fifty, and one hundred yuan. The jiao
and fen coins are both issued in ones, twos, and fives.
• For many travelers, exchanging money is frequently
needed along their trip, which is particularly true for
businessmen along their China business travel. In
China, currency exchange could be available in large
banks, hotels and airports..
• China education is the largest education system in
the world. On June 2013, there were 9.12 million
students taking the National Higher Education
Entrance Examination (Gao Kao) in China.
Investment in education accounts for about 4% of
total GDP in China
•
The higher education sector has growth as well.
China is seeking to improve the quality of
education through a major effort at curriculum
reform. China has increased the proportion of its
college-age population in higher education to
over 20 percent now from 1.4 percent in 1978
• China has a consistent teacher development system. Teaching
has historically been and remains today a highly respected
profession in China. Teachers have strong preparation in their
subject matter and prospective teachers spend a great deal of
time observing the classrooms of experienced teachers, often in
schools attached to their universities. Once teachers are
employed in school, there is a system of induction and
continuous professional development in which groups of
teachers work together with master teachers on lesson plans
and improvement.
