تم النشر بواسطة JiangDavid بتاريخ

Seal cutting, though based on Chinese calligraphy, is a comparatively independent traditional art form. It takes Chinese characters as its form of expression, using carving knives instead of the writing brushes, and stone instead of paper. Similar to inscriptions on ancient bronze and stone tablets, it can be viewed as a pocket edition of tablet inscription. The seal has many names in history.

تم النشر بواسطة JiangDavid بتاريخ

Similar to people of other nationalities, ancient Chinese people grasped or tore food with their bare hands at the beginning. Chopsticks, forks, knives and spoons were used much later, of which chopsticks, with a history of thousands of years, are a wonder of Chinese dining utensils.

The Twelve Animal Signs
تم النشر بواسطة JiangDavid بتاريخ

In traditional China, dating methods were cyclical means something that is repeated time after time according to a pattern. A popular folk method which reflected this cyclical method of recording years are the Twelve Animal Signs. Every year is assigned an animal name or “sign” according to a repeating cycle: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Boar. Therefore, every twelve years the same animal name or “sign” would reappear. A cultural sidelight of the animal signs in Chinese folklore is that horoscopes have developed around the animal signs. For example, a Chinese horoscope may...
