Reflections: Chinese Culture and Adopted Children As our dear daughters grow up, we will face a decision that all parents of internationally adopted children must make-to what extent do we maintain and nurture their original culture? The question is significant because our daughters will be minorities in a white, American culture. They will be among other kids who may make fun of their distinctiveness. And, as other adopted children, they may feel a sense of loss and detachment from their birth country and culture. There's no pat answer for how much culture is the right amount. As parents of Chinese daughters, we will face many years of finding the right balance of Americanization and maintaining their Chinese culture. Much will depend on their interest, as they grow up and our ability to be comfortable with our families' new dual culture status. What follows are thoughts of various parents of Chinese daughters on this issue. They provide food for thought as we consider this difficult, yet wonderful, element of raising our children. Questioning the value of too much effort I want my child to be proud of her Chinese heritage, but I question the value of expending a lot of effort to maintain it. If I get her a Chinese caretaker and make a special effort to keep her in touch with her Chinese roots, won't this make her feel different from her playmates who probably won't all be Chinese?

Shamanism in China: bibliography by Barend ter Haar (last updated 8.7.2002) Comments: a. The first problem that one encounters in studying shamanism is one of definition and terminology, since this largely determines the inclusion or exclusion of literature and topics. I prefer to take a broad approach, that includes the self-flagellating tang-ki of Southern China, possession cults (in which a being descends into a person, speaking through his or her mouth or by means of a writing apparatus) and spirit travel cults. b. Generally speaking, modern scholarship is strong on early historical accounts (Han and before) and continues (especially Chinese language research) to gather a substantial amount of information on minorities (not systematically included here) and Taiwanese shamanism (both tang-ki and spirit writing). In the intervening period from the Song until modern times shamanism supposedly lost in influence and has therefore not been seriously been studied, despite a considerable amount of material and despite the fact that it still continues to exist in China proper today (albeit it considerably reduced and repressed). c.

Its origin should be closely connected with the invention of paper during the Han dynasty (206 B.C.-221 A.D.). As paper was highly precious in the early days, the art of paper cutting first became popular in the royal palaces and houses of nobility as a favorite pastime among court ladies. Snuff bottle is a kind of traditional art andcraft which originated in Ming Dynasty and reached prosperity in Qing Dynasty. Inside-Painting Snuff Bottle started in the last years of JiaQing and theearly years of DaoGuang. It is made by painting in transparent bottle with specially made hook-form painting brush. There is a symbolic besign used in Chinese sacrificial bronzes 3,000 years age that combines all sorts of animal characteristics found in the natural world into one ferocious creature-the t'ao-t'ieh, or "beast of gluttony." Set in a fiercely blazing fire, the beast's bulging eyes glared straight at the observer, his great mouth gaping in a wide grin, flashing saber-like teeth.

Home About Us Classes Merchandise ... Chinese Culture Tai Chi Australia Chinese Festivals The Chinese New Year The Chinese base their calendar on the cycles of the moon, while Western cultures base theirs on the cycles of the sun which is why Chinese New Year is celebrated on a different date each year, but usually occurs sometime in February. The Chinese New Year is the most important festival in Chinese culture and is characterised by lively, bustling, noisy celebrations full of excitement and jubilation. It is a time for people to look back over their work in the previous year and to look forward with hope and anticipation that the New Year will be happy, auspicious, prosperous and peaceful. Chinese people always celebrate the Chinese New Year no matter where they are. There are many legends about the Chinese New Year with one of the most popular being about a strange animal called "Nian" in Chinese and "Year" in English. It was said that Nian was so strong and ferocious that his roar could shake the skies and the earth and in cold winters when he could find no prey in the mountains he would come down to attack the villages. People lived in fear of Nian and over time discovered that he was afraid of three things: The colour Red, Flame and Sound. Therefore, one winter before Nian was about to come down from the mountains, the villagers put up red colours, lit fires in front of every house and stayed up all night making different sounds. Nian was so frightened by this demonstration he went away never to return.

Decorative calligraphy is found all over China, in temples and adorning the walls of caves and the sides of mountains and monuments. The basic tools of calligraphy - brush and ink - are also the tools of Chinese painting, with linework and tone the all-important components. Despite the ravages of time, war and ideology, there's still a lot to see architecturally. Traces of the past include the imperial structures of Beijing, the colonial buildings of Shanghai, the occasional rural village and Buddhist, Confucian and Taoist temples. Funerary art was already a feature of Chinese culture in Neolithic times (9000-6000 BC), ranging from ritual vessels and weapons to pottery figures, jade and sacrificial vessels made of bronze. Earthenware production is almost as ancient, with the world's first proto-porcelain being produced in China in the 6th century AD, reaching its artistic peak under the Song rulers.

96. Chinese Culture: Foot Binding In the chinese culture women were subjected to the painful process offoot binding. This osteoporosis. chinese culture foot binding. http://ksks.essortment.com/chineseculture_rdpp.htm

Chinese culture: foot binding The practice of foot binding began in the Sung Dynasty, sometime between 960-976 BC. It is reported that a prince had a concubine who was required to dance with her feet bound. The prince forced his concubine to dance with bound feet because he had a fetish with tiny feet. This caused traditional family values to dictate that the feet of young girls should be bound to keep them small. The term "Lily feet" was used to describe the tiny feet because they were thought to be very beautiful and a symbol of gentility and high-class. The actual foot binding process began when a girl was between the ages of three and eleven years old. First the inner foot of the child was washed in hot water and then massaged. Then all of the toes, except the first toe, were broken, turned under, pressed to the bottom of the foot, and bound tightly with cloth strips which kept the feet from growing larger than ten centimeters or three point nine inches. Next, the arches were broken as the foot was pulled straight with the leg. The cloth bandages would be tightly wound around the foot from the toes to the ankle to hold the toes in place. bodyOffer(27039) After about two or three years, the child’s feet actually shrank to the point that they could fit into shoes that were only three inches long. These tiny shoes, which were called "lotus shoes", were made of silk and were decorated with beautiful embroidery. The results of the foot binding were highly deformed feet that were extremely painful to walk on. Many times, the toes actually fell off because the bandages were wrapped so tight that blood could no longer reach them.

Hong Kong is bordered on the north by Guangdong Province and on the east, west, and south by the South China Sea. Hong Kong was a British dependency from the 1840s until July 1, 1997, when it passed to Chinese sovereignty as the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR). The British control of Hong Kong began in 1842, when China was forced to cede Hong Kong Island to Britain after the First Opium War. In 1984 Britain and China signed the Sino-British Joint Declaration, which stipulated that Hong Kong return to Chinese rule in 1997 as a Special Administrative Region (SAR) of China. The Joint Declaration and a Chinese law called the Basic Law, which followed in 1990, provide for the SAR to operate with a high degree of economic autonomy for 50 years beyond 1997. Hong Kong has a variety of cultural attractions and activities. The Hong Kong Arts Festival and the Hong Kong International Film Festival are annual events. Professional music companies include the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra, the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra, and the Hong Kong Dance Company. The territory has a thriving film and television industry. One of Hong Kong's most popular actors is Jackie Chan, who is known for his starring roles and stunts in action movies.
