,直到秦朝统一中国后才将其连城长城｡然而,今天我们看到的长城——东起山海关,西至嘉峪关——大部分都是在明代修建的｡二、饺子(Dumplings)DumplingsareoneoftheChinesepeople’sfavoritetraditionaldishes.Acc

节都有包饺子吃的习俗,寓意吉利｡对崇尚亲情的中国人来说,“更岁交子”吃饺子,更是欢度除夕､辞旧迎新必不可少的内容｡三、筷子(ChineseChopsticks)TheChinesewayofeatingwithchopsticksisuniqueintheworld.The

,如婚俗中将筷子隐喻为快生贵子的祝福等｡与使用刀叉以及手抓的方式不同,成双结对的筷子含有“和为贵“的意蕴｡西方人赞誉筷子是古老的东方文明｡【拓展1】TheStoryofChopsticks(1)筷子的故事⑴ChopsticksareusedeverydayinChina.⑵NowI

和养气之说,同时兼容了道家､释家的思想｡中国武术源远流长､流派林立､拳种繁多,讲究刚柔并济､内外兼修,蕴含着先哲们对生命和宇宙的参悟｡后世所称十八般武艺,主要指:徒手拳艺,如太极拳､形意拳､八卦掌等;器械功夫,如刀枪剑戟､斧钺钩叉等｡4【拓展】⑴ChineseKungFuismagn
