Chinese Culture

While China is almost the same size as the US in area, it is home to about 1.3 billion people. It has a special culture with a very long history.

Chinese Food

Food plays an important role for Chinese families. Different foods have special meanings. The most obvious(明顯的) difference is that Chinese people eat their meals with chopsticks. One of the main foods in Chinese culture is rice. Tea is a favorite drink and it is popular in the market.

Chinese New Year

The Chinese calendar(日歷) is called a lunar(陰歷的) calendar. It is not the same as the one used in the US. New Year’s Day is in late winter. It is also called the Spring Festival. It has a big celebration of letting go of the old and bringing in the new. It has special foods and traditions. For example, sweeping the floor before New Year’s Day sweeps away all the old year’s bad luck.

Chinese Zodiac(生肖)

The Chinese zodiac, known as Sheng Xiao, follows a twelve-year cycle(循環(huán)). Each year is named for an animal. These animal signs are the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. For example, the year that begins in 2016 is the Year of the Monkey.

Chinese Language

Chinese is a complex(復雜的) language. Chinese writing developed almost 4,000 years ago and may even be older. Chinese writing has thousands of characters. A character represents(代表) a word and also a meaning. Unlike English, there are no spaces in Chinese writing. Besides Standard Chinese, or Putonghua, Chinese people speak six other forms of the language, and there are many kinds of dialects(方言).
