I am not included in any way in the Chinese culture, therefore, I thought it would be interesting to research and learn about this culture. In the Chinese culture there are things that are very important. If you every travel to China it will be important to know things about their religion, entertainment, food, fashion, and language. Therefore, this blog will inform you on these important aspects of the Chinese culture. According to the China Highlights website, "China is a multi-religious country. Taosim, Buddhim, Islamism, Protestantism, and Catholicism have all developed quite a following in this country."The entertainment consists of music, art, martial arts, and other sports. In this blog I will talk about both manners in the Chinese culture when it comes to eating and the food of the Chinese culture. "As a visitor or guest in either a Chinese home or restaurant you will find that table manners are essential and the distinctive courtesies displayed will invariably add the enjoyment of your meals and keep you in high spirits," (Travel Guide China). According to Yang Lu, "In modern society in China, men are seen at social occasions wearing dignified and refined tradiational Chinese long gown, and women often wear the ch'i-p'ao, a modified form of a traditional Ching Dynasty fashion, on formal occasions." The official language of China is Chinese, also known as Standard Mandarin. I will be interviewing students from the University of Nebraska at Lincoln college who are from the Chinese culture to gather my information.
