China is a big country with a wide variety of topographies and temperatures. Geographical
elements including mountain ranges, deserts, and coastlands have all influenced Chinese
civilisation and history in addition to the sheer vastness of the nation.

LOCATION OF CHINA

China is a country in Southeast Asia, and the Pacific Ocean runs
along its whole coastline. After Canada and Russia, China has the
third-largest land area. China has a landmass of 9.6 million square
kilometres and an 18,000-kilometer coastline. China resembles a
rooster on a map. Russia, Mongolia, and Kazakhstan border the
north; Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India border the west; and
Burma, Thailand, and Vietnam border the south.

PHYSICAL FEATURES

The vastness of China allows for significant terrain diversity. China's topography spans
the whole topographical spectrum, including plateaus, plains, basins, foothills, and
mountains. China is characterised by its uneven topography; from East to West, mountains
give way to plateaus. The Kunlunshan Mountain Range, the Qilianshan Mountain Range,
and the Hengduan Mountain Range are all examples of this pattern, known as "ladder
topography." Within China's borders is Everest, the world's highest peak.

ETHICS

The lifestyle of Chinese ethical thought is

centrally involved with questions on how one

needs to live: what is going right into a

profitable life, the way to weigh obligations

in the direction of own circle of relatives as

opposed to obligations in the direction of

strangers, whether or not human nature is

predisposed to be morally excellent or bad,

how one ought to narrate to the non-human

world, the extent to which one ought to

become involved in reforming the larger

social and political structures of one’s society,

Laozi and the way one ought to behaviour oneself

whilst in a function of impact or power.

The best ethical philosophers of historical China, Laozi (flourished c. sixth century BCE) and

Confucius (Kongfuzi, or Kongzi; 551–479 BCE), a concepts in very distinctive ways. Laozi is

excellent recognized for his thoughts approximately the Dao (literally “Way,” the Supreme

Principle).

The Dao is primarily based totally at the conventional Chinese virtues of simplicity and
sincerity. To follow the Dao is a matter not of observing any set of obligations or
prohibitions however alternatively of living in a simple and sincere manner, being true to
oneself, and avoiding the distractions of normal living.

To follow the Dao is an issue not of observing any set of responsibilities or prohibitions
but rather of living in an easy and sincere manner, being actual to oneself, and avoiding the
distractions of everyday living. Laozi’s classic book on the Dao, Daodejing, consists only of
aphorisms and isolated paragraphs, making it tough to attract an intelligible system of
ethics from it. Perhaps this is due to the fact Laozi was a type of ethical skeptic: he rejected
each righteousness and benevolence, apparently due to the fact he noticed them as imposed
on people from without rather than coming from their own internal natures.

10

Unlike Laozi, Confucius was the more down-to-earth thinker, absorbed within side the
practical task of social reform. The province in which he served as minister of justice became
renowned for the honesty of its people, the honor shown to the aged, and the care taken of
the poor. Probably due to their practical nature, the lessons of Confucius had a miles greater
influence on China than did those of the extra withdrawn Laozi.

Confucius did not prepare his suggestions into any coherent system. His teachings are
presented in the form of sayings, aphorisms, and anecdotes, typically in reply to questions
by disciples. The goal at guiding the student toward turning into a junzi, an idea translated
as “gentleman” or “superior guy.” In opposition to the prevailing feudal best of the
aristocratic lord, Confucius presented the superior guy as one who's humane and thoughtful,
influenced by the desire to do what is good rather than by private profit.

REGIONS

China is a very large and populous country with 22 provinces (23 if Taiwan is included),

five autonomous areas, four municipalities, and multiple particular administrative regions

(Hong Kong and Macau). Sometimes it is not realistic to offer records precise to every

province, so a broader technique is needed to explain special elements of the United States.

A suitable instance of this will be in the course of a countrywide climate forecast. In China, it

is also a well-known manner to consult a place's food patterns and tourism resources. Such

structures are very common, especially in large countries.

For instance, America Census Bureau defines four areas in the United States – Northeast,

Midwest, South, and West.

RELIGION

Religious observance in China is on the rise. Amid
China’s monetary increase and speedy modernization,
professionals factor the emergence of a no secular
vacuum as a cause for the developing wide variety of
spiritual believers, in particular adherents of
Christianity and conventional Chinese spiritual
groups.

The state acknowledges five religions: Buddhism,
Catholicism, Daoism, Islam, and Protestantism.The
exercise of another religion is officially prohibited,
even though frequently tolerated, particularly in the
case of conventional Chinese beliefs.
In the early 21st century, there was a growing official
reputation of Confucianism and Chinese folk religion
as a part of China's cultural inheritance. Folk or
famous religion, the most widespread system of
ideals and practices, has advanced and tailored when
you consider that as a minimum the Shang and Zhou
dynasties with inside the 2nd millennium BCE.

Other than that, Chinese religion entails allegiance to the shen, regularly translated as
"spirits", defining a lot of gods and immortals. These can be deities of the natural
surroundings or ancestral standards of human groups, ideas of civility, and traditional
heroes, a lot of whom are characteristic of Chinese mythology and history.

Christianity and Islam arrived in China within side the seventh century. Christianity did
now no longer take root until it become reintroduced within side the 16th century with the
useful resource of the usage of Jesuit missionaries. In the early 20th century Christian
agencies grew, but after 1949, foreign places missionaries were expelled, and church homes
were delivered under government-controlled institutions. After the past due 1970s, religious
freedoms for Christians were superior, and new Chinese groups emerged.

13

Next, Islam has been practiced in Chinese society for 1,400 years. Currently, Muslims are a
minority enterprise in China, representing 0.45% to 1.8% of the entire population constant
with the ultra-present-day estimates. Though Hui Muslims are the most numerous
enterprise, the best consciousness of Muslims is in Xinjiang, with a substantial Uyghur
population. China is also regularly considered home to humanism and secularism, this-
worldly ideologies beginning with inside the time of Confucius.

Because many Han Chinese do not consider their spiritual beliefs and practices to be a
"religion" and do not feel that they should practice someone of them exclusively, it is
difficult to acquire clear and reliable statistics. According to scholarly opinion, "the excellent
majority of China's population of 1.4 billion" takes a component in Chinese cosmological
religion, its rituals, and festivals of the lunar calendar, without belonging to any
institutional teaching.

Furthermore national surveys carried out within side the early twenty-first century
anticipated that a few 80% of the populace of China, that is extra than one billion people,
exercise a few sorts of Chinese people’s religion; 13–16% are Buddhists; 10% are Daoism;
2.53% are Christians, and 0.83% are Muslims. Folk nonsecular moves of salvation represent
2–3% to 13% of the populace, whilst many in the highbrow elegance adhere to Confucianism
as a nonsecular identity. In addition, ethnic minority organizations exercise specific
religions, consisting of Tibetan Buddhism, and Islam most of the Hui and Uyghur peoples.

4 WELL-KNOWN TRADITIONAL CHINESE
CLOTHES

1. Hanfu — The Most Traditional Chinese Clothing

The Hanfu ('Han people clothing' — the majority of Chinese are of Han ethnicity) is the
oldest of China's traditional clothes. As its name suggests, Hanfu encompasses all types of
traditional clothing worn by the Han people ethnic minorities. Legend traces it back to over
4,000 years ago when Huangdi's consort, Leizu, made cloth with silk. It was constantly
improved throughout several dynasties.

Until the Han Dynasty, the
Hanfu was adopted and
vigorously promoted by the
ruling class. It then became
the national clothing of the
Han ethnic people. It also had
a far-reaching influence on
neighboring Asian countries,
such as Korea, Japan, and
Vietnam.

Nowadays, people seldom
wear Hanfu except on special
occasions, such as festivals
and wedding ceremonies, or
by young girls who want to
show off or taking photos.

People use various
ornaments to decorate their
Hanfu, such as worn on the

配belt or sash.

The ornaments are called pei ( , which means match or decorate). The more decorations
they had, the higher social status they had. Men wore hats, and women wore headpieces to
go with their Hanfu.

Hanfu can be divided into three styles: jacket with skirt, jacket with trousers, and one-
piece dress. Thus, the most popular style is the jacket with skirt style, which is worn by
women.

2. Qipao (Cheongsam) — the Most Famous
Traditional Chinese Dress

旗袍The cheongsam, or Qipao ( ) in Chinese, evolved from the

Manchu women's changpao ( means ‘long gown') of the Qing
Dynasty (1644–1912). The Manchu ethnic people were also
called the Qi people by the Han people; hence their long gown
was named qipao ('Qi gown').

In the 1930s, wearing a cheongsam became a fashion among
women in the whole of China. Various styles existed during this
period. Some were short, some were long, with low, high, or
even no collars at all. Originating in the Qing Dynasty, the
cheongsam has mainly developed into Beijing styles, Shanghai
styles and Hong Kong styles. There are many differences in
decorations, colors, materials, and designs.
Shanghai-style cheongsams are more commercial and forward-looking. More Western
elements are used in the designs and colors of Shanghai-style cheongsams.
Hong-Kong-style cheongsams were influenced greatly by European fashions. The sleeves of
Hong-Kong-style cheongsams are shorter than the Beijing and Shanghai styles. The
decorations are simpler too.
Beijing's cheongsam style is more traditional and conservative than Shanghai's and Hong
Kong's. The colors of Beijing-style qipaos are much brighter, and their decoration is more
complicated than other styles'.

3. Tang Suit

This name came from the overseas Chinese. As the Tang

Empire was famous for being prosperous and powerful in the

world, foreigners called the overseas Chinese people "the

Tang people" and the clothes they wore were called "Tang

唐装suits" (which has been translated as Tangzhuang ).

The Tang suit often refers to a type of Chinese jacket rather

than the clothing of the Tang Dynasty (618–907). The origin of

Tang suit actually only dates back to the Qing Dynasty era

(1644–1911). It was developed from a type of the era's
马褂Manchurian clothing — the magua ( , 'horse gown').
对 襟The Tang suit is a duijin (
, a kind of Chinese-style

jacket with buttons down the front) with a Mandarin collar (a

band collar) and "frog" buttons (knobs formed of intricately

knotted cord). Traditional Tang suits, based on the magua of the Manchu ethnicity,
usually have Chinese characters on them to express good luck or best

福wishes. The most popular characters include fu ( , 'happiness and good
寿luck') and shou ( , 'longevity').

Nowadays, Tang suits have become a kind of formal dress worn
on some special occasions, such as Chinese New Year, wedding
ceremonies, or important events.

21

4. The Zhongshan Suit — Traditional Formal
Attire for Men

The Zhongshan suit, also known as the Mao suit
overseas, is a type of men's jacket. It was first advocated
by Dr Sun Yat-sen (Sun Zhongshan in Mandarin, hence
Zhongshan suit).

The design of Zhongshan suits combines traditional
Chinese and Western clothing styles. Zhongshan suits
have four big pockets on the front, two up two down,
equally spaced left and right. There are five central
buttons on the front and three smaller buttons on each
sleeve. Zhongshan suits can be worn on formal and casual
occasions because of their symmetrical shape, generous
appearance, elegance, and stable impression.

The colors of Zhongshan suits are various, but usually
plain, including black, white, blue, and grey. Wearers
choose different colors for different situations.

TOP 4 PLACE ATTRACTIONS IN CHINA

1. The Great Wall of China in Beijing

In the eyes of most travelers, you haven't been to China if you haven't climbed the Great
Wall. "Nobody can be a true hero unless he has been on the Great Wall" goes the popular
Chinese saying, one that clearly demonstrates the importance placed upon this unique
ancient monument.
One of the iconic symbols of China, the Great Wall is the longest wall in the world, an awe-
inspiring feat of ancient defensive architecture. Its winding path over rugged country and
steep mountains take in some great scenery. It deserves its place among "the New Seven
Wonders of the World" and the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in China.

The Great Wall of China is definitely one of the more impressive and majestic attractions
that China has to offer. The wall spans from China's western frontier to the east coast,
totaling around 5,000 km (3,100 miles), but the most integrated and best-preserved sections
are close to Beijing and it is over 2,300 years old. Averaging six to eight meters in height but
rising as high as 16 meters and wide enough in places for five horses or 10 men to pass while
the wall boasts numerous battlements and watchtowers. So, this is what people usually
mean when mentioning the Great Wall of China.
There is no better way to explore China's Great Wall than by hiking or walking along with it.
Tread the centuries-old bricks and walk-through watchtower ruins. Take your time and feel
the history come to life.

There are numerous entry points for the Great Wall, and it’s an experience you won’t soon
forget. Located in Northern China, the Mutianyu section is fully restored and worth seeing.
Location: Huairou District, China

2. The Forbidden City in Beijing — Imperial Palace for 24 Emperors

China's largest and most important building, the Forbidden City (Zǐjìnchéng) or also
known as the Imperial Palace. It is situated in the very heart of Beijing and is a must-see
when visiting the country. Started during the Yuan Dynasty between 1271-1368, much of the
complex seen today was built between 1406 and 1420. Really many splendid palaces in one,
this sprawling complex was the residence of 24 Ming and Qing Emperors, whose presence
forbade the entry of anyone other than the imperial family and their courtesans.

It is recognized as one of the five most important palaces in the world (with the Palace of
Versailles in France, Buckingham Palace in the UK, the White House in the US, and the
Kremlin in Russia).

It was once a "palace" city where ordinary people were forbidden entry. An extravagant
demonstration of ancient Chinese architecture, over 8,000 rooms with golden roofs are
elegantly designed and painted in red and yellow.

Covering some 720,000 square meters and protected by a 10-meter-high wall with
watchtowers and a wide moat, this massive complex consists of areas set aside for
ceremonial and administrative purposes, as well as a private residence used by the emperor.
Other important attractions in the vicinity of the Imperial Palace include famous Tiananmen
Square, and the Temple of Heaven, one of the country's most important religious sites, which
dates back to the 15th century. There are all sorts of fascinating historical artefacts that you
will get to see upon entering this area.
Address: 4 Jingshan Front St, Dongcheng, Beijing, China

3. Giant Pandas in Chengdu — China's "National Treasure"

No visit to China would be complete without at least one panda experience. While the
country's top zoos boast many fine specimens of these fascinating creatures, the best place
to see them in a close approximation to their natural habitat "hometown" is at the excellent
Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding in Chengdu, located in the province of Sichuan.

The giant panda is not only deeply loved by the Chinese, but by many foreigners too, and
not just children. These animals are only kept in capacity in this country, and they attract
many tourists each year with their cuddly cuteness.

There are three places you can see pandas close up: Chengdu Panda Breeding and Research
Center, Dujiangyan Panda Valley, and Bifengxia Panda Base. However, Chengdu Panda
Center is more established. Here, you'll have the chance to watch as many as 80 pandas go
about their daily routines, from foraging to playing in the facility's large park-like setting.
In addition to viewing these splendid animals up close, you'll learn a great deal about them
from the many permanent exhibits and displays detailing ongoing conservation efforts to
safeguard their future.

If possible, try to time your visit for the morning feeding sessions when the pandas are at
their most active. Better still, sign-up for one of the unique experiential volunteer programs
that will have you involved in the feeding and care of these cuddly creatures and possibly
even holding a baby panda.

CHINESE ART
CALLIGRPAHY

Religious observance in China is on the rise. Amid
China’s monetary increase and speedy modernization,
professionals factor the emergence of a no secular
vacuum as a cause for the developing wide variety of
spiritual believers, in particular adherents of
Christianity and conventional Chinese spiritual
groups.

The state acknowledges five religions: Buddhism,
Catholicism, Daoism, Islam, and Protestantism.The
exercise of another religion is officially prohibited,
even though frequently tolerated, particularly in the
case of conventional Chinese beliefs.
In the early 21st century, there was a growing official reputation of Confucianism and
Chinese folk religion as a part of China's cultural inheritance. Folk or famous religion, the
most widespread system of ideals and practices, has advanced and tailored when you
consider that as a minimum the Shang and Zhou dynasties with inside the 2nd millennium
BCE.

In the beginning, Chinese writing was a pictorial image to make it easier to understand the
meaning although imaginations that show. Because of that, image that shows is simple in
terms of flexible in composition, capable of developing with changing conditions by means of
slight variations. The earliest Chinese carvings were found on the shoulder bones of large
animals and turtle shells. For this reason the script found on these objects is commonly
called jiaguwen, or shell and none script.

In 1992, there was discovery of a similar inscription on a pottery shard at Dinggongcun in
Shandong province demonstrates that the use of a mature script can be dated to the late
Neolithic Longshan culture (c. 2600-2000 BCE). Until now, the basic materials still used by
calligraphy like brush, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Carefully arranged before carving even if it
exists difference of sizes. Jiaguwen known as
oracle bone script it is also related to ancient
religious, mythical prognostication or to rituals.
Even, archaeologists and paleographers have
demonstrated that this early script was widely
used in the Shang dynasty (c. 1600-1046 BCE).
The use of brushes was introduced and expanded
at the beginning of the Han dynasty based on
archeological evidence. A basic brush is made of
a bundle of animal hairs that are squeezed into a
bamboo or wood tube. Jade, porcelain, and other
materials were also infrequently used. Popular
animal hairs included black rabbit hair, white
goat hair, and yellow weasel hair.

Not forget too, the difference in terms of length but not difference is seen if it has been made
into a brush. Brushes created in a wide variety of shapes and sizes that determine the type of
line produced. Flexibility brushes in commonly used because such features are more suitable for
use in Chinese calligraphy so that the calligraphy line to be so fluid and expensive.

While the ink employed in Calligraphy is commonly made from lampblack, a sooty residue
created by burning pine resin or oil underneath a hood. The way to use the lampblack is mixed
with glue and then pressed into molds. A process that allows the calligrapher to control the
thickness of the ink and density of the pigment is hardened cakes or sticks that can be ground
on a stone and mixed water. Ink cakes and ink stick become a form of decorative art and has
been famous among artists in creating shapes and patterns for their own molds.

Basic materials yang that are widely used and in one of the major technological contributions
in China to the world is an invention of paper. Recent grave discoveries show that paper was
known a century earlier. Paper was made from various fibers, such as mulberry, hemp, bamboo
and provided an inexpensive alternative to silk as a ground material for calligraphy and
painting.

In China, the ink stone, a carved stone with a reservoir for grinding ink and mixing it with
water-brush, ink and paper as the Four Treasures of the study that is wenfang sibao,it shows
that calligraphy materials held in high esteem. These Four Treasures are the same materials
employed by traditional Chinese painters. Calligraphy in China has a higher status based on
the explanation from critics although, use the same materials than elsewhere. In others
countries such as Europe, painting is a high art however, calligraphy is not accorded the same
high status because does not use the same materials as painting.

28

There is an argument that states that paintings in China like in Europe was the most
valued visual art form but the assumptions not based. Based on the fact painting in China
practically from its inception was considered secondary to calligraphy as a visual art. There
is also an argument that states, painting and calligraphy share the same materials was used
in the eleventh and twelfth centuries to elevate the status of painting, rather than the other
way around.

One of the earliest recorded that caused the existence of calligraphy was the request of the
emperor Ming of the Han to send a messenger to obtain a piece of his writing about traces of
his personality before he passed away and was hoping to be able to “commune” with
relative. Besides, calligraphy serve as a medium of revelation and self-expression that best
accounts for why it became so highly esteemed. A brief consideration of how calligraphic
technique is mastered might shed some light on the questions of why such expressive
potential was seen as intrinsic to calligraphy in the first place.
