CHINESE PROVERBS
Our proverbs come with full information. The modern Chinese characters are given first with links that give information on the character. As proverbs are so old you will often see them written using the traditional form of characters; so if of the characters have been simplified the phrase is shown in brackets and gray text. .The characters are followed by the proverb (Chengyu) in pinyin. YIN AND YANG IN CHINESE TRADITIONS In Chinese the sun is named 太 阳 tài yáng ‘great yang’ and so day is ‘yang’ and yet there are still places of shadow while yin (‘night’) still has the light of moon and stars. Soon the yang will change to yin and back again - as day and night are inseparable and interdependent. Surrounding the swirling yin and yang in the taiji BIRDS IN CHINESE SYMBOLISM All about Chinese proverbs. The graceful crane is a common emblem in paintings. The name 鹳 guàn is used for both storks and cranes and the same symbolism applies. Storks tend to live in wetlands while cranes prefer drier areas. HISTORY OF RELATIONS BETWEEN CHINA AND KOREA The 1950s and 60s was a period of Chinese isolationism there was a continuing fear of a Chiang Kaishek invasion backed by U.S. forces. With Kim Il-Sung , a strong military leader, installed at Pyongyang, China felt that Korea was no longer a threat and China signed a pact with N. Korea to come to its aid if attacked.DAOIST PHILOSOPHY
The Dao De Jing (or Tao Te Ching using the old spelling) is a much loved Chinese classic. It is written as a series of short, individual thoughts and contemplations of our place in the world. It follows the Daoist (Taoist) philosophical tradition. It is over 2,500 years old but still has a message for us today. HEBEI PROVINCE, NORTHERN CHINA Temple and bridge over the deep canyon at Cangyanshan, Hebei. If you include Beijing and Tianjin within Hebei, it would be by far the most important province in China, but even without them Hebei is still of great significance. It stretches well beyond the Great Wall into the northern Mongolia plateau down to one of the Yellow River's ancient channels to the sea in the South.Chinasage

HOUSE PLANT BOOM
The effects of the coronavirus continue to dominate the news, with millions of Chinese people choosing or forced to spend all their time at home. One popular new hobby in parts of Shanghai is the growing of plants from seed. Watching the germinated seeds grow into plants is giving the community a sense of a brighter future. Vegetables are a popular choice with the normal shops and markets closed or inaccessible. Other popular indoor activities have led to a surge in online ordering of computer games, books, yoga mats, make-up and rather inevitably condoms. Contrary to the popular impression created in the media, the situation in China is of gradual improvement with the number of infected people falling for the last ten days in a row as more people recover. Unlike the rest of the world there has been success in keeping the cases within Hubei province, it is not spreading to other provinces any more.Read full story…

Untangling the religions of China is quite a struggle for those unfamiliar with the country.

When you start learning Chinese you soon across the fact that there are two written forms still in use, the simplified form used in China and the old, traditional form still used in Taiwan, Hong Kong and other overseas Chinese communities. With 4,000 years of use the written Chinese language has many archaic features. On the formation of the Peoples' Republic an ambitious reform of the script was instigated which has made the learning of the characters far easier.

To symbolize winter and the promise of spring plum blossom, bamboo and pine trees (the 'three friends of winter') are often portrayed.
