Art
Chinese art is well known throughout the world. Its painting and calligraphy established
the guiding principals by which other civilizations would emulate. In Chinese art, each
object has its own subjective meaning, and can be interpreted in many ways. To the
Chinese, color and form are not just words, but are a part of what makes them a unique
people; there ability to surround themselves with beautiful architecture and lavish
technique know no bounds.
Food & Medicine
People around the world love Chinese food, and so they should. Lots of tradition and care
has gone into some of today's finest and most famous dishes. In addition, Chinese medicine
has been around for centuries, but only recently has it become a new, and almost baseline
treatment, for common ailments such as headaches and fevers.
Minorities
China has over 50 minority groups. Each group has different languages, customs, and
traditions. We take few pages to honor these special people; China's great tribal members.
Religion
There are three main religions in China. They are Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism.They
were suppressed by the CCP during the 20th century, but they are still alive and
penetrating the minds of Chinese today. These religions are all widespread, and aside from
other world religions, they all originated in China.
