[quote=KEVINWARDCFC ,26430]Dear DYKHMILY,Greetings. I like your questions about Chinese Culture.Because China is such an ancient civilization, it is bound to have an` extremely rich tradition in culture. And as folklore is part of culture, that too will be rich and deep. And that is just what we find. Some of the loveliest stories in the owrld come from China. Some of the world's greatest theatre is from China. Some of hte world's greatest achievements are from China. Think of her Great Wall.The economically advanced cities along the east and osuth coast, have lost some of their culture under the influence of western pressures. The heart of myth is still in the country.You say 'uncivilised' - but the country side is not uncivilised. It is only illiterate. What is deepest and loveliest in Chinese culture is still carried by people in the country and rural areas. I do not go to Shanghai or Beijing to see China at her best. I go the villages and small towns in the centre and west and north of the country.What do I love about China and her people? Well, as I have written elsewhere in this forum, I admire the courtesy and grace of the people. I admire their discipline and dedication to hard work. I like their tradition of communal meals, often sharing from the same bowl or dish.All the best with your project. Kevin[/quote]
