Chinese
Calligraphy and writing system:
Chinese is the only major writing system
in the world that continues its
pictograph-based development without
interruption. Students will learn some
simple pictograph words and watch a
brush-writing demonstration. |
|
2 |
Chinese Medicine:
Chinese medicines believe the processes
of human body are interrelated and
constantly interact with the
environment; therefore the theory looks
for the signs of disharmony in the
external and internal environment of a
person in order to understand, treat and
prevent illness. We will explain the
theory and show some herb samples as
well as its applications. |
|
3 |
Abacus:
Abacus originated in Russia, but
improved and was widely used in China
for more than a thousand years. In fact,
many Chinese schools are still teaching
abacus today to improve students' mental
arithmetic and counting skills. |
