     Extractions: The Gender of Your Baby The Chinese Gender Calendar was supposedly discovered by a Chinese Scientist who drew this chart which was buried in a Royal tomb about 700 years ago. Most of the Gender Calendars you find on the web tell you that it is based off the mother's lunar age, but do not tell you how to go about calculating it. The first method below being used with the permission of the website owner. The Baby Gender Predictor is based off the Chinese Lunar Calendar, and actually does the calculations to convert the mother's age to the proper format. The second tool below, is the one you will find all over the web. It gives no way to convert your age into your chinese lunar age, on which this tool was based, so we would expect that the results would be correct about 50% of the time, basically as scientific as flipping a coin. We are conducting a little experiment here. Check the accuracy of the methods below for each of your children and then let us know if the results were correct by taking part in our poll for each of our methods below. If there is a bit of truth to the Chinese Lunar Calendar, we would expect for the first tool to have a higher percentage of correct predictions.

     Extractions: Development of Mathematics in Ancient China "Chinese mathematics," was defined by Chinese in ancient times as the "art of calculation" ( suan chu ). This art was both a practical and spiritual one, and covered a wide range of subjects from religion and astronomy to water control and administration. The history of China is filled with many periods marked by florishing culture and civilization, and others marked by competition and war between dynasties and invaders (see History Time Table New and More Detailed Pharmacopoeia of the Khai-Pao Reign Period. The first true evidence of mathematical activity in China can be found in numeration symbols on tortoise shells and flat cattle bones (commonly called oracle bones, dated from the Shang dynasty (14th century B.C.). These numerical inscriptions contain both tally and code symbols which are based on a decimal system, and they employed a positional value system. This proves that the Chinese were one of the first civilization to understand and effenciently use a decimal numeration system. Early Chinese mathematics had a great influence on other later civilizations, in India, Japan, Korea and other counties. Shang Numerals The Shang numerals for the numbers one through nine were: Indeed, the numeration system used in the modern world had its origins

179. China's Vast History
     Unlike most countries, China has a vast history, dating from earlyman to modern advancements in science and technology.

     Extractions: Unlike most countries, China has a vast history, dating from early man to modern advancements in science and technology. Pre-History Shang Dynasty Chou Dynasty and Warring States Ch'in Dynasty ... Mao's Successors Forbidden City in Beijing The human record in China can be traced back at least 1.7 million years with the discovery in southwest China of fossils known as Yuanmou man, a closely related ancestor of modern man. Another protohuman toolmaker called Peking M an lived about 500,000 years ago in North China. By about 25,000 BC, also in the vicinity of Peking, a fully advanced human, sometimes referred to as Upper Cave man, hunted and fished and made shell and bone artifacts. Although fossil remains of early humans have been discovered in various other places in China, the Northespecially the fertile region watered by the Hwang Ho (Yellow River)was the source area of ancient Chinese civilization. Here, and also along the southeastern coast, the switch from hunting-gathering methods of food collection to an agricultural way of life first occurred in China sometime during the 6th to 5th millennium BC, a far-reaching development that scholars have recently come to believe took place independently of the Near Eastern Neolithic revolution. Ancient Stone Casket for Purpose of Worship During the first phase of the Chinese Neolithic period (c.5000-2500 BC), called Yang-shao after the first associated site, farmers employed primitive techniques of cultivation, shifted their villages as the soils became exhausted, and lived in s emisubterranean houses in the region of modern central Shensi, southwestern Shansi, and western Honan provinces. Their handcrafted, painted pottery occasionally bears a single incised sign that may be a forerunner of Chinese writing.

180. Culture.htm(FCCS)
     Two chinese folktales with a short bibliography.  
     http://www.interlog.com/~fccs/culture.htm
     
     Extractions: There are hundreds upon thousands of Chinese folktales. These folktales have survived thousands of years throughout Chinese history mainly through the oral tradition. The merits of these folktales lie not so much in their literary worth, as in the common folk wisdom they convey. Often, they are short, have a simple plot, and can be told in just a few minutes. And often in the story, there is a blur between history and mythology. Today, many of these folktales have survived as a short proverb, widely used and understood in the Chinese language. The common characters in these folktales could be: a magistrate, a king, a patriot, a wise man, a foolish man, a soldier, a young scholar, a maiden, a good son, or a hardworking servant. Some of these stories involve deities, while some involve only mortals or commoners. The significance of these folktales is the display of Chinese values. Some of these common themes are: the triumph of justice over injustice; the supremacy of wisdom over sheer physical strength; examples of cleverness or resourcefulness; examples of filial piety or examples of moderationto mention just a few. These are all important Chinese values which are passed from one generation to the next through the telling of folktales. Hensman, Bertha.
