Nowadays the traditional festivals are not the signals of the culture and history anymore. There become the tools of the business people who do not have conscience. For New Year, many people chose to go outside to have the New Year eve dinner, and they do not make dumplings any longer. When they go outside, the business people tried to names their dishes with beautiful implied meanings, and then raise the price to earn more money. In the mid-autumn festival, the moon cake became a fancy gift but not a little cake that use for remembering relatives who are far away from the family.
Chapter 12: Cross-Cultural Exchange on the Silk Roads Themes: For the AP world history class, this chapter can either be a godsend or be a bit problematic. If you included the imperial collapses into your structures of chapters 8 and 11, and if you have spoken throughout the chapters about the silk roads, then this chapter can be covered quickly and used as the final foundations era review. You could devote a week to student activities. If you have stayed with the chapter organization without deviation, you’ll have to work a bit harder to pull the chapter together. The students will require a review of the Han period and a quick reminder of the other neighboring empires and nomadic societies in Eurasia and East Africa ca.

Understandably, when the news of gold and opportunity in far away Gum San, (Golden Mountain – the Chinese name for America) reached China, many Chinese seized the opportunity to seek their fortune, and a majority ended up on the coasts of California. Rao starts her article off with a historical narrative of this musical past and how these clusters of families brought the culture from their homeland and introduced it in an authentic fashion. As we can see today, every major metropolitan city has its own version of Chinatown. The stage has drawn Chinese people closer and closer together and led to immigration in and within the US. Although the stories on stage were inspired from the older history
I can only imagine what my family would do if I said something to them like Colin and Michelle did to theirs. Oh sorry grandma, I know I have not seen you in over three years, but I am not using cars or buses or planes anymore, so I will not be coming to see you. We just do not think that way. It is tradition to get together with family at Thanksgiving and Christmas, no matter
Explain how far the views in Source B differ from those in Source A in relation to the ‘Hundred Flowers’ campaign. (12) Sources differ in terms of a viewpoint on what intentions behind the ‘Hundred Flowers’ campaign truly were, however both sources acknowledge the degree of damage that had been done to intellectuals. Thus, the sources are dissimilar in relation to the motives of the campaign but both agree on the consequences of it. Source A suggests that by launching the Hundred Flowers campaign in 1957, “Mao was setting a trap” to invite intellectuals to criticise the regime in order to find an excise for victimising possible opponents. Arguably, he had wanted to limit the influence of them due to his distrust of their background and knowledge gained through being educated in foreign institutions.
“Unique Characters Bedevil Beijing” by Sharon Lafraniere 1. Many Chinese people from China wish to have creative, individual and symbolic names with meaning but they cannot choose those names because of the Chinese bureaucracy’s order to have similar names with other citizens. It should be part of our freedom to have the right to choose our own names and to embrace it. When a person changes their name, it would cause disturbances to certified and legal documents. This also causes a lot of confusion because many citizens have the same names with 70,000 people in the same country.
China is getting better and better by the second. The infant mortality rate is decreasing, literacy and education increasing, life expectancy higher and basic necessities like food, water, and shelter more available.

Their population mass could create the big armies and armadas of china and turn them into a well oiled war machine are could hone the economic status of china probably both though. With China having all these major points they could be on the rise for the next superpower
Mair's and Mallory's overall reluctance to draw the conclusion that in 2000 BC there was an en masse migration of western European Celtic groups eastward into the Tarims oasis area (China's Xinjiang autonomous province), is commendable. I find the work's approach a refreshing relief from the frenzy of the past 4-5 years dominated by the press' sensationalizing a yet unproved hypothesis about the mummies of Xinjiang, their role in China's history and a supposed Indo-European cultural diffusion. The implication that these western Europeans brought technological innovations to the backward Chinese was unmistakable. Several points are worthy of mention here. 1.
Also adventurous and active western leisure activities such as tennis, camping golfing and rock climbing have been introduced to China. Golfing is getting very attractive in China due to its association with decency. Mencken (1948, as cited in Zhang, Deng, Majumbar & Zheng, 2009) considered golfing as a conspicuous leisure activity. According to Wong (2006, as cited in Zhang, Deng, Majumbar & Zheng, 2009) 298 of the 300 golf courses in China also provide luxury services such as caddies, restaurants and hotels. It seems that these changes in lifestyles in a western society, due to globalization, are based upon social desires instead of biophysical needs.
