12 Chinese Zodiac
Top4 Chinese Unique Culture
China is a civil nation who has a very long history of about 5000 years; there are many mysterious cultures behind the 5000 years. Today, I’d like to talk about four kinds of typical items and cultures of Chinese.
1.12 Chinese Zodiac Signs
There are several zodiac signs in the world now, while, 12 Chinese Zodiac Signs are completely different from the other zodiac signs, especially the zodiac signs of western countries.
Actually, 12 Chinese zodiac signs are made up of 12 different animals in the nature; they are the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog, pig and the legendary dragon. The 12 Chinese zodiac signs are used to remember the year order and circle.
2.Chinese Fengshui
Geomantic omen means “Fengshui” in Chinese. It is a geographical phase and used to select the palace, the village location, the graveyard construction. The intention of Fengshui is a subject to choose a suitable place. Fengshui has a long history.
From the ancient times, geomantic began popular in shelter and food culture, it was a very important factor for the daily life. Since there are many geomantic related literatures have been retained we can know that ancient Fengshui were usually used to choose the location of towns and villages, and the construction of palace. As time goes on, Fengshui has been widely used for funeral terrain.
3.Chinese Jade
Jade regimen mechanism has been confirmed by modern science. According to the chemical analysis, jade contains a variety of beneficial trace elements for human body. Such as zinc and magnesium, iron, copper, selenium, chromium, co. And the trace elements can be absorbed by human skin when wearing Jade. At the same time, jade can active cell organization and improve human immunity.
White jade: It can soothe the nerves and keep human’s mind calm down.
Emerald: According to the experts analysis that emerald can alleviate the pain of respiratory system and help people overcome depression. Besides, emerald can moist heart and lung, improve skin texture and eyesight.
Agate jasper: It can clear away heat and toxic material.
So do you know how the funtion of Chinese jade is? Actually, the ancient Chinese thought that wearing a jade is beautiful. As the old sayings- “there is a price for gold, but no price for jade”. Jade has buried underground for thousands of years or 100 million years, it contains a lot of mineral elements, so people often say that wearing a jade in a long-term will make the jade brighter and brighter if our bodies are healthy. On the contrary, if you are in poor health, the jade mineral elements will be absorbed slowly by your body to cure some diseases. For an example, ladies get use to wearing bracelet in their left hand since the jade can do well for heart.
4.Chinese Clay Sculpture
Clay Sculpture is sludge sculpture. It is a process in the product development to create a link on appearance. Clay Sculptures are mostly used in the cartoon characters of toys. Clay Sculpture work is based on planar images or based on the simple concept to create a truly 3d clay model.
So, to make an appearance model with high quality needs the engraver’s excellent sense of art and aesthetic, it means that there are many limitations when employing the engravers.
On the Chinese market, the most common clay sculptures are the sculptures with Chinese characteristic. Such as the famous heroes or heroines’ images, the Bride and Groom, theatrical characters and so on.
