Chinese Culture
Promoting Taoism as a philosophy.
http://www.openface.ca/~dstephen/chphil.htm

Extractions: I am interested in, but far from being an expert of, oriental philosophies. The purpose of this section is to help promote Buddhism and Taoism as philosophies and at the same time dispel the general perception that Buddhism and Taoism are mere idol worships, incense burning and fortune telling. I am neither a Buddhist nor a Taoist and do not agree with everything they say. For buddhism, I am intrigued by the way they look at nature. I am attracted to their idea that: "Emptiness or Imperceptibles" (Huon/Kung) Sunyata is the "real world", imperceptible to our senses ; "Form" (Sik) is our "perception" of the "Impercetibles" ; and finally, , is the "representations" we made from the "forms" we have in our minds. This is very similar to the Quantum Mechanical view of: Huon= wave function before a measurement; Sik=result of the measurement ; Shan=representation of the result of the measurement.

They compared archeological findings in China's Xinglonggou Relics Site in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, also popularly known as "China's first primitive village", and findings in Japanese sites from the Neolithic age, about 10,000 to 4,000 years ago. ¡¡¡¡The cultural exchanges occurred on a route from northeast China through coastal Russian areas to Japan's Hokkaido and Honshu over 7,000 years ago, noted Wang Wei, deputy director of the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.
Calligraphy
Brush calligraphy is an art unique to Asian cultures. Shu (calligraphy), Hua (painting), Qin (a string musical instrument), and Qi (a strategic boardgame) are the four basic skills and disciplines of the chinese literati.
http://www.asiawind.com/art/callig/

Extractions: Regarded as the most abstract and sublime form of art in Chinese culture, "Shu Fa" (calligraphy) is often thought to be most revealing of one's personality. During the imperial era, calligraphy was used as an important criterion for selection of executives to the Imperial court. Unlike other visual art techniques, all calligraphy strokes are permanent and incorrigible, demanding careful planning and confident execution. Such are the skills required for an administrator / executive. While one has to conform to the defined structure of words, the expression can be extremely creative. To exercise humanistic imagination and touch under the faceless laws and regulations is also a virtue well appreciated. By controlling the concentration of ink, the thickness and adsorptivity of the paper, and the flexibility of the brush, the artist is free to produce an infinite variety of styles and forms. In contrast to western calligraphy, diffusing ink blots and dry brush strokes are viewed as a natural impromptu expression rather than a fault. While western calligraphy often pursue font-like uniformity, homogeneity of characters in one size is only a craft. To the artist, calligraphy is a mental exercise that coordinates the mind and the body to choose the best styling in expressing the content of the passage. It is a most relaxing yet highly disciplined exercise indeed for one's physical and spiritual well being. Historically, many calligraphy artists were well-known for their longevity.

Chinese New Year
Indepth explanation of the 15-day chinese New Year celebration. Includes explanation of feasts, descriptions of traditional foods and decorations, and list of taboos and superstitions.
http://www.educ.uvic.ca/faculty/mroth/438/CHINA/chinese_new_year.html

Extractions: CHINESE NEW YEAR Chinese New Year starts with the New Moon on the first day of the new year and ends on the full moon 15 days later. The 15th day of the new year is called the Lantern Festival, which is celebrated at night with lantern displays and children carrying lanterns in a parade. The Chinese calendar is based on a combination of lunar and solar movements. The lunar cycle is about 29.5 days. In order to "catch up" with the solar calendar the Chinese insert an extra month once every few years (seven years out of a 19-yearcycle). This is the same as adding an extra day on leap year. This is why, according to the solar calendar, the Chinese New Year falls on a different date each year. New Year's Eve and New Year's Day are celebrated as a family affair, a time of reunion and thanksgiving. The celebration was traditionally highlighted with a religious ceremony given in honor of Heaven and Earth, the gods of the household and the family ancestors. The sacrifice to the ancestors, the most vital of all the rituals, united the living members with those who had passed away. Departed relatives are remembered with great respect because they were responsible for laying the foundations for the fortune and glory of the family. The presence of the ancestors is acknowledged on New Year's Eve with a dinner arranged for them at the family banquet table. The spirits of the ancestors, together with the living, celebrate the onset of the New Year as one great community. The communal feast called "surrounding the stove" or weilu. It symbolizes family unity and honors the past and present generations.

Western-Chinese Calendar Converter
Converts between the traditional chinese lunar calendar and the Western calendar.
http://www.mandarintools.com/calconv.html

Extractions: AD BC This is just the first stage in what I hope to make a full featured converter between any date in the Chinese and Western calendars, including dynasty and reign title information. As it is now, you can convert between the Julian (the system in use up till 1582) and the Gregorian (the system in use from 1582 till the present) calendars and see the Julian day. You can convert from any of these to the Chinese cyclical year, month, and day, as well the solar month and day, with dynasty and reign title.. I have also have links to other sites dealing with Lunar and Western calendars, as well as my own brief description of the Western solar and Chinese lunar calendar systems. NOTE : The conversion between Western and Chinese calendar systems is based on complicated astronomical algorithms which I do not have. I use tables to do the conversion. Enter the Western date you want to convert to its Chinese lunar equivalent. For an explanation on the difference between the Julian and Gregorian calendars, see below. Most likely you will want to use Gregorian calendar, the system in use in most of the world. This converter currently will only work for dates from 1911 to 2050. The page also includes a converter between the day in the Julian Period and the Gregorian and Julian Calendars. For more information on what this means, please see my explanation below.

http://www.asianweb.net/news/english/capc.htm

Extractions: Mission Statement: Initiated as a grass roots community effort in 1965 in response to the growing number of Asian immigrants in New York City following the liberalization of the immigration law, the Chinese-American Planning Council, Inc. (CPC), has since become one of the largest providers of social services for Asian Americans in the United States. CPC's mission is to improve the quality of life of Chinese Americans in New York City by providing access to services, skills and resources toward the goal of economic self sufficiency and integration into the American mainstream. In pursuing this mission, CPC has developed, adn continues to administer, a wide range of services for Chinese American children, youth, adults, and senior citizens. CPC Programs and Affiliates The Chinese-American Planning Council, Inc., a nonprofit corporation, is one of the largest and most comprehensive social service providers serving the Chinese American population in the United States. CPC provides services to over 6,000 people a day through over 45 programs in 26 facilities located in the culture and arts, in the strengthening of our community's economy, and in the development and management of low-income housing. It is hoped that through our assistance network with a concerted effort from all quarters, those who are poor, have special needs or are particularly vulnerable would be able to achieve self-sufficiency, integrate actively into the American mainstream society, and become contributing citizens.
