7. Chinese Culture
   Promoting Taoism as a philosophy.  
   http://www.openface.ca/~dstephen/chphil.htm
   
   Extractions: I am interested in, but far from being an expert of, oriental philosophies. The purpose of this section is to help promote Buddhism and Taoism as philosophies and at the same time dispel the general perception that Buddhism and Taoism are mere idol worships, incense burning and fortune telling. I am neither a Buddhist nor a Taoist and do not agree with everything they say. For buddhism, I am intrigued by the way they look at nature. I am attracted to their idea that: "Emptiness or Imperceptibles" (Huon/Kung) Sunyata is the "real world", imperceptible to our senses ; "Form" (Sik) is our "perception" of the "Impercetibles" ; and finally, , is the "representations" we made from the "forms" we have in our minds. This is very similar to the Quantum Mechanical view of: Huon= wave function before a measurement; Sik=result of the measurement ; Shan=representation of the result of the measurement.

   Extractions: Updated : 10/23/02 Hakka Forum News History Language ... America During the last hundred years or so, Hakka people migrated to South East Asia, East Africa, Europe (Holland, United Kingdom, France, Germany..), South America (Brazil, Trinidad...) Canada, US. About 7% of the 1.2 billion Chinese clearly state their Hakka origin or heritage. However, the actual number may be more as many Hakka Han who settled along the path of migration assimilate with the local people. The Hakka identity is gradually lost.

    http://www.houstoncul.org/culdir/danc/danc.htm
    
    Extractions: Most people use sound to communicate in their everyday life, but a dancer on stage uses his limbs and body to do the same thing. Just like the Chinese language, Chinese dance has its own unique vocabulary, semantics, and syntactic structure that enable a dancer on stage to fully express his thoughts and feelings with ease and grace. The art of Chinese dance traces its origins to even before the appearance of the first written Chinese characters. Ceramic pots have been unearthed in the Sun Chia Chai excavation site in Ta-tung County of the western Chinese province of Chinghai that depict colorful dancing figures. A study of these archaeological artifacts reveals that people of the Neolithic Yang-shao culture of around the fourth millennium B.C. already had choreo graphed group dances in which the participants locked arms and stamped their feet while singing to instrumental accompaniment. Chinese dance was divided into two types, civilian and military, during the Shang and Chou periods of the first millennium B.C. In civilian dance, dancers held feather banners in their hands, symbolizing the distribution of the fruits of the day's hunting or fishing. This gradually developed into the dance used in the emperor's periodic sacrificial rituals held outside the city, and other religious rituals.

This Core 9 course page remains online for those who are interested, but permanent links should be made to the Internet East Asian History Sourcebook Music I Music II The Course This module is an introduction to Chinese culture. The approach will be one which sees culture as the system of shared ideas and meanings, explicit and implicit, which a people use to interpret the world and which serve to pattern their behavior [Patricia Ebrey]. This concept of culture includes an understanding of the art, literature, and history of a society, but also less tangible aspects such as attitudes, prejudices, folklore and so forth. With China we will find a tradition of civilization marked for over 3000 years by the use of writing, urbanization, a developed artistic culture, social stratification
