When you talk about Chinese culture, you should think about Confucius first. He is a great thinker and educator. He is the initiatou of Confucianism. His idea influence aftertime for many years. People said he was the earliest ancestor of Chinese Culture.

Chinese calligraphy is very famous. The Chinese writing brush, the Chinese ink, the inkstone and the Xuan paper will make you feel simple and unsophisticated. The traditional Chinese painting is also very famous. It can show the general motif of the picture without detailed drawing. It is quite different from the canvas.

Beijing opera is the quintessence of Chinese Culture. Many Chinese people like it. These years, many foreigners are also interested in it.

Chinese Kongfu is very miraculous. People use their body or sword to protect themselves. In Hollywood�s movie, you can see Chinese Kongfu by Jackie Chan and Jet Li.

Many people like Chinese comic dialogue. Performers use droll and interesting words to make audiences laugh. Mark Rowswell (Whose Cines name is Da Shan) from Canada is good at it. He can use fluent Beijing words to act it.

Chinese food also include special and plentiful inside information. On New Year�s Day, people often have dumplings together with the best wishes to the New Year. They talk and laugh with each other, everyone fee happy and warm.
