    Extractions: The Chinese animal signs are a 12-year cycle used for dating the years. They represent a cyclical concept of time, rather than the Western linear concept of time. The Chinese Lunar Calendar is based on the cycles of the moon, and is constructed in a different fashion than the Western solar calendar. In the Chinese calendar, the beginning of the year falls somewhere between late January and early February. The Chinese have adopted the Western calendar since 1911, but the lunar calendar is still used for festive occasions such as the Chinese New Year. Many Chinese calendars will print both the solar dates and the Chinese lunar dates.

29. Some History

    http://www.archaic-jade.com/history.htm
    
    Extractions: Chinese Archaic Jade Jade best exemplifies the essential aspects of Chinese culture and aesthetic appreciation. This beautiful stone is admired for its hardness, translucent colours and warm brilliance. From these natural properties the ancients found the embodiment of the cardinal virtues of a perfect gentleman. Ancient texts such as Li Ji (Book of Rites) expounded the importance of jade to a gentleman whose wearing of jade pendants achieved both moralizing and ornamental purposes. With time jade came to be identified as a symbol for everything that is good, pure, noble and sublime. The history of Chinese jade articles lasts for seven (7) thousand years. They are characterized with wide applications, multiple varieties, peculiar designs, colorful hues, delicate and beautiful patterns, unique styles and excellent craftsmanship. Consequently, jade articles are an extraordinary type of artistic fortunes for the Chinese people as well as a shining star in the treasure house of the world arts. A simple exploration of the history of the Chinese jade objects will be made in this short article. According to the archaeological data, the history of jade applications in China can be traced back to seven (7) thousand years ago. The development process of this longstanding history goes through the New Stone Age (Neolithin), Hsia, Shang, Chou, Chun Chiu, the Warring States, Chin, Han, Tang, Sung, Yuan, Ming and Ching dynasties. Whereas, the process of development differs from one era to another. A brief statement of respective development process is given as follows.

32. Food In Chinese Culture
    Food in chinese culture. Finally, perhaps the most important aspect of the Chinese food culture is the importance of food itself in chinese culture.  
    http://www.askasia.org/frclasrm/readings/r000044.htm
    
    Extractions: Adapted from K.C. Chang, Food in Chinese Culture: Anthropological and Historical Perspectives , New Haven, CT: Yale University Press, 1977. Reprinted with permission from Yale University Press. An anthropological approach to the study of food would be to isolate and identify the food variables, arrange these variables systematically, and explain why some of these variables go together or do not go together. For convenience, we may use culture as a divider in relating food variables' hierarchically. I am using the word culture here in a classificatory sense implying the pattern or style of behavior of a group of people who share it. Food habits may be used as an important, or even determining, criterion in this connection. People who have the same culture share the same food habits, that is, they share the same assemblage of food variables. Peoples of different cultures share different assemblages of food variables. We might say that different cultures have different food choices. (The word choices is used here not necessarily in an active sense, granting the possibility that some choices could be imposed rather than selected.) Why these choices? What determines them? These are among the first questions in any study of food habits.

    http://www.houstoncul.org/culdir/embr/embr.htm
    
    Extractions: As one of the ancient handicrafts of China, embroidery has greatly contributed to the progress and enhancement of China's material civilization. Historical documents record the use of embroidery in China as early as 2255 B.C. Archaeological finds, however, place the beginnings of embroidery at some point during the Shang dynasty (1766 B.C. to 1122 B.C.). Originally used to signify one's caste position, embroidery later came to have a purely ornamental value and common people. As embroidery developed, its artistic features multiplied. Archaeological discoveries reveal that while embroidery remained crudely simple throughout the Chou dynasty, it became increasingly sophisticated during the Warring State Period (475-221 B.C.), and reached an aesthetic peak in the Han dynasty (206 B.C.-221 A.D.). The economic prosperity of the Han dynasty supported the rise of numerous cottage industries, one of which the silk weaving industry was crucial to embroidery. Furthermore, as the number of rich and privileged people increased, so did the demand for embroidery. With a strong supply of raw materials and robust market demand, embroidery flourished.
