Respect FirstIt is really an admirable custom to respect others at the table, including the aged, teachers and guests while taking good care of children.Chinese people stress filial piety all the time.

Before starting to eat dinner, the host may offer some words of greeting. Guests should not start to eat until the host says, 'Please enjoy yourself' or something like that, otherwise it suggests disrespect and causes displeasure.When hosts place dishes on the table, they will arrange the main courses at the center with the supporting dishes evenly placed around them. When the main dishes are prepared in a decorative form either by cut or other means they will be placed facing the major guests and elder people at the table. This also embodies virtue.Yuanxiao on Lantern Festival Jiaozi on Spring Festival On Chopsticks China is the hometown of chopsticks. The culture of chopsticks has a long history in China.

关于长城的传说 In the north of China, there lies a 6,700-kilometer-long (4,161-mile-long) ancient wall. Now well-known as the Great Wall of China, it starts at the Jiayuguan Pass of Gansu Province in the west and ends at the Shanhaiguan Pass of Hebei Province in the east. As one of the Eight Wonders in the world, the Great Wall of China has become the symbol of the Chinese nation and its culture. Lots of beautiful legends and stories about the Great Wall took place following along the construction, and since that time these stories have spread around the country. Those that happened during construction are abundant, such as Meng Jiangnu's story and the legend of the Jiayuguan Pass. Meng Jiangnu's story is the most famous and widely spread of all the legends about the Great Wall. The story happened during the Qin Dynasty (221BC-206BC). It tells of how Meng Jiangnu's bitter weeping made a section of the Great Wall collapse. Meng Jiangnu's husband Fan Qiliang was caught by federal officials and sent to build the Great Wall. Meng Jiangnu heard nothing from him after his departure, so she set out to look for him. Unfortunately, by the time she reached the great wall, she discovered that her husband had already died. Hearing the bad news, she cried her heart out. Her howl caused the collapse of a part of the Great Wall. This story indicates that the Great Wall is the production of tens of thousands of Chinese commoners.

山寨文化 英语作文On Shanzhai Culture The Chinese word "Shanzhai" literally means small mountain village,but it's now used to describe products that have names similar to famous brands or people who imitate celebrities. As"Shanzhai"culture gradually deepens in people's heart,there have been many arguments about it. Some people hold a viewpoint that pseudo-celebrities are quite something, for it offers a good method for small companies to promote their prodocts without trying to spend huge amount of money on "real celebrities" advertising. However, others maintain that pseudo-products are nothing but fake commodities. These people are worried that those who have been deceived will be reluctant to consume,which will make business slack. From my perspective, "Shanzhai" has become a culture of its own, representing non-mainstream ideas. Also, it's a new way for common people to express what they what. As I see, by consuming pseudo-products, people can enjoy a better life with less money. Nevertheless, I dare not agree that a copycat version of CCTV be prt on the screen, as it is so directly related to our country's image. And yet, I do not hope that we bury ourselver into "Shanzhai" culture and cease our steps in further creativity and innovation. Generally speaking, only if we make good use of "Shanzhai" culture, can we benifit from it in the broadest sense
