2.Characteristics of cuisines in northern part of China
Cuisines of the north part of China have several characteristics.people in the north tend to eat cooked wheaten food.Or in other words,people eat more food made of flour.This is because the climate here is temperate continental climate,which means there are less rain drops and sunlight.And this climate provides favorable conditions for the growth of wheat.First,When it comes to cooked wheaten food,there is a place many people are familiar with.That is Shanxi(山西).As the saying goes,“east or west,Shanxi cooked wheaten food is best”.Shanxi is famous for its diverse and delicious cooked wheaten food.With a history of 2000years,Shanxi cooked wheaten food is gaining more and more popularity at home and even abroad.Cooked wheaten food in Shanxi,there are round 280 kinds of cooked wheaten food,among which the sliced noodles is the most renowned one.Apart from the sliced noodles刀削面,boiled food also includes hand-pulled noodles拉面,He lao饸饹）Tijian,剔尖Maoerduo貓耳朵,Jiupian(揪片)，which are all delicious and tasty.

Other steamed wheaten food includes steamed bun、You mian kao lao（莜面栲栳）、Gao liang mian yu（高粱面魚(yú)）.
Second,food in the north is often more salty and greasy than that in the south.1 Because people like to add more ingredient to dishes even the soup.
Shandong cuisine and Beijing cuisines are two famous cuisines of the eight cuisines in china.And they are also representatives of the northern cuisines.Beijing cuisine is famous for its Beijing roast duck and instant-boiled mutton.Shandong food is always pure,fresh,tender,salty and crisp.Chinese people pay much attention to eating,not just to fulfill our basic needs,but deep within,it contains the measures Chinese people take to understand things.For example,when a child was born,relatives and friends would eat eggs painted in red color to celebrate.Eggs symbolize new lives,eating red eggs embodies the high expectations of the Chinese to carry on the family line.We have feasts in the weddings;we celebrate our birthdays with gatherings and delicious food;we gather with our friends or families to eat,which is a good way to enhance our intimacy.
People gathering to celebrate with big feasts In sum,Chinese food culture has gained much popularity throughout the world,and in the modern era,the popularity still thrives.Food culture,which has great influence to Chinese people’s personalities,has already become one of the fine traditional cultures in China.With the enhancement of the globalization,Chinese food culture would become better known across the world.2

京劇臉譜，是具有民族特色的一種特殊的化妝方法。由于每個(gè)歷史人物或某一種類(lèi)型的人物都有一種大概的譜式，就像唱歌、奏樂(lè )都要按照樂(lè )譜一樣，所以稱(chēng)為“臉譜”。關(guān)于臉譜的來(lái)源，一般的說(shuō)法是來(lái)自假面具。
京劇臉譜，是根據某種性格、性情或某種特殊類(lèi)型的人物為采用某些色彩的。紅色有臉譜表示忠勇士義烈，如關(guān)羽、姜維、常遇春；黑色的臉譜表示剛烈、正直、勇猛甚至魯莽，如包拯、張飛、李逵等；黃色的臉譜表示兇狠殘暴，如宇文成都、典韋。藍色或綠色的臉譜表示一些粗豪暴躁的人物，如竇爾敦、馬武等；白色的臉譜一般表示奸臣、壞人，如曹操、趙高等。
京劇臉譜的色畫(huà)方法，基本上分為三類(lèi)：揉臉、抹臉、勾臉。臉譜最初的作用，只是夸大劇中角色的五官部位和面部的紋理，用夸張的手法表現劇中人的性格、心理和生理上的特征，以此來(lái)為整個(gè)戲劇的情節服務(wù)，可是發(fā)展到后來(lái)，臉譜由簡(jiǎn)到繁、由粗到細、由表及里、由淺到深，本身就逐漸成為一種具有民族特色的、以人的面部為表現手段的圖案藝術(shù)了。
京劇，是中國的傳統藝術(shù)。它起源于1840年，盛行于20世紀
三、四十年代，是中國的國粹。京劇的伴奏是以二胡等為主，配合演員唱腔、念白、動(dòng)作、
武打，達到音樂(lè )美與舞蹈美的統一。京劇耐人尋味，回味悠長(cháng)，把各種故事、道理融入一段段表演中，讓人在美的享受的同時(shí)，得到升華。可是，在節奏日益加快的今天，京劇已被大家漸漸漠視、遺忘。這是讓人心疼的事情。我們應該提高對京劇的認識，多多接觸傳統，讓孩子們熟悉它，熱愛(ài)它，讓它重新綻放迷人的生命。

Beijing Opera is a Chinese historial artical opara,which is a combination of singing,saying,dancing and martial art.It’s the quintessence of China.
Peking Opera has a 200-year-long history.Its main melodies originated from Xipi and Erhuang in Anhui and Hubei.
It is believed that Peking Opera gradually came into being after 1790 when the famous four Anhui opera troupes came to Beijing.Peking Opera underwent fast development during the reign of Emperor Qianlong and the notorious Empress Dowager Cixi under the imperial patron,eventually becoming more accessible to the common people.
In ancient times,Peking Opera was performed mostly on stage in the open air,teahouses or temple courtyards.Since the orchestra played loudly,the
performers developed a piercing style of song that could be heard by everyone.The costumes were a garish collection of sharply contrasting colors to stand out on the dim stage illuminated only by oil lamps.Peking Opera is a
harmonious combination of the Grand Opera,ballet and acrobatics,consisting of dance,dialogue,monologues,martial arts and mime.

Pipa(lute)and other instruments.The band usually sits on the left side of the stage.

Qipao(Ch’ipau)is one of the most typical,traditional costumes for Chinese women.Also known as cheongsam,it is like a wonderful flower in the Chinese colorful fashion scene because of its particular charm.
In the early 17th century in North China,Nurhachi,a great political and military strategist,unified the various Nuzhen tribes and set up the Eight Banner System.Later he led his troops into Beijing and overthrew the Ming Dynasty.Over the years,a collarless tube-shaped gown was developed,which was worn by men and women.This is the embryo of the Qipao.It became popular among the royal palace of the Qing Dynasty and the mansions of the Manchu nobility.At that time,it was loosely fitted and long enough to reach the insteps.Usually it was made of silk,and embroidered,with broad laces trimmed at the collar,sleeves and edges.The dress empresses of past dynasties wore them.Their style of dress was regarded as the highest of standards for Chinese women for several thousand years.
The only medium to display the elegance of a human body is an elegant
costume.Whatever costume a woman wears,in addition to magnificence and nobility,she must have a thirst for elegance or beauty.Perhaps that’s the reason why Qipao was born.
In the past,the collar of the costume was made high and tight-fitting to keep warm.Qipao has incorporated this feature,not just for preventing coldness but also for beauty.The collar of Qipao generally takes the shape of a semicircle,its right and left sides being symmetrical,flattering the soft and slender neck of a woman.The collar of Qipao is meticulously made,especially the buttonhole loop on the collar,which serves as the finishing touch.We can’t help but admire the designers’artistic originality.The design of the front of Qipao depicts the maturity of women properly,reminding people of the line of a
Chinese poem’A garden full of the beauty of spring can not be prevented from being enjoyed.’
Qipao generally has two big slits at either side of the hem for convenient
movement and display of the slender legs of women.Unlike a short-length skirt,the slits of Qipao expose a woman’s legs indistinctly when she walks,as if there was a blurred emotional appeal of’enjoying flowers in mist.’
Qipaos can display Chinese women’s modesty,softness and beauty.Like Chinese women’s temperament,Qipaos are elegant and gentle.
Like other costumes,the beauty of Qipao comes first.Simplicity is one of its features from the collar,loop,chest,waist and hips to the lower hem,and a Qipao almost varies with a woman’s figure.It not only lays stress on the natural beauty of a female figure,but also makes women’s legs appear more slender.Mature women in Qipaos can display their graceful refined manner.
Besides its simplicity,Qipao provides designers with vast,creative space:some short,some long,with low,high,or even no collars at all.
Practicality always goes with beauty.Qipaos are worn in both urban and rural areas,its long-standing elegance and serenity making wearers fascinating.
When wearing Qipao,women should pay attention to the match as a whole;particularly middle-aged or elderly women should do so.Hairstyles,jewelry,socks and shoes should match Qipaos properly in color and design.
Today,with the development of the market economy in China,designs or
styles of fashions are so dazzling as the stars that the eye cannot take them all in.As a result,people are often at a loss what to choose when facing the vast sea of fashions.On the other hand,it is just a golden opportunity for Chinese national costumes to regain their popularity.Fashion culture has become a point of intersection of social culture,reflecting economic developments,social progress and educational level.It represents people’s spirit,living standards and aspirations towards beauty.

The cheongsam is a female dress with distinctive Chinese features and enjoys a growing popularity in the international world of high fashion.
The name”cheongsam,”meaning simply”long dress,”entered the English vocabulary from the dialect of China’s Guangdong Province(Cantonese).In other parts of the country including Beijing,however,it is known as”qipao”,which has a history behind it.
When the early Manchu rulers came to China proper,they organized certain people,mainly Manchus,into”banners”(qi)and called them”banner people”(qiren),which then became loosely the name of all Manchus.The Manchu women wore normally a one-piece dress which,likewise,came to be called”qipao”or”banner dress.”Although the 1911 Revolution toppled the rule of the
Qing(Manchu)Dynasty,the female dress survived the political change and,with later improvements,has become the traditional dress for Chinese women.
Easy to slip on and comfortable to wear,the cheongsam fits well the female Chinese figure.Its neck is high,collar closed,and its sleeves may be either short,medium or full length,depending on season and taste.The dress is buttoned on the right side,with a loose chest,a fitting waist,and slits up from the sides,all of which combine to set off the beauty of the female shape.
The cheongsam is not too complicated to make.Nor does it call for too much material,for there are no accessories like belts,scarves,sashes or frills to go with it.
Another beauty of the cheongsam is that,made of different materials and to varying lengths,they can be worn either on casual or formal occasions.In either case,it creates an impression of simple and quiet charm,elegance and neatness.No wonder it is so much liked by women not only of China but of foreign countries as well.

中國飲食文化
中國傳統文化之我見(jiàn)
中華民族歷史源遠流長(cháng)，傳統文化博大精深，它足以使中國人、海外華人引以榮耀和自豪，它是中華民族的重要凝聚力；另一方面，近代落伍了的中國正在現代化，雖然中國人的思想觀(guān)念，思維、行為和生活方式都在發(fā)生著(zhù)重大的變化，中國文化也在全方位地轉換和發(fā)展，但是這種轉換和發(fā)展本身就是從傳統開(kāi)始的。中國傳統文化作為一種文化形態(tài)，本身具
備文化科學(xué)價(jià)值。
在中國傳統文化教育中的陰陽(yáng)五行哲學(xué)思想、儒家倫理道德觀(guān)念、中醫營(yíng)養攝生學(xué)說(shuō)，還有文化藝術(shù)成就、飲食審美風(fēng)尚、民族性格特征諸多因素的影響下，創(chuàng )造出彪炳史冊的中國烹飪技藝，形成博大精深的中國飲食文化。
從沿革看，中國飲食文化綿延170多萬(wàn)年，分為生食、熟食、自然烹飪、科學(xué)烹飪4個(gè)發(fā)展階段，推出6萬(wàn)多種傳統菜點(diǎn)、2萬(wàn)多種工業(yè)食品、五光十色的筵宴和流光溢彩的風(fēng)味流派，獲得“烹飪王國”的美譽(yù)。
從內涵上看，中國飲食文化涉及到食源的開(kāi)發(fā)與利用、食具的運用與創(chuàng )新、食品的生產(chǎn)與消費、餐飲的服務(wù)與接待、餐飲業(yè)與食品業(yè)的經(jīng)營(yíng)與管理，以及飲食與國泰民安、飲食與文學(xué)藝術(shù)、飲食與人生境界的關(guān)系等，深厚廣博。
外延看，中國飲食文化可以從時(shí)代與技法、地域與經(jīng)濟、民族與宗教、食品與食具、消費與層次、民俗與功能等多種角度進(jìn)行分類(lèi)，展示出不同的文化品味，體現出不同的使用價(jià)值，異彩紛呈.
從特質(zhì)看，中國飲食文化突出養助益充的營(yíng)衛論（素食為主，重視藥膳和進(jìn)補），并且講究“色、香、味”俱全。五味調和的境界說(shuō)（風(fēng)味鮮明，適口者珍，有“舌頭菜”之譽(yù)），奇正互變的烹調法（廚規為本，靈活變通），暢神怡情的美食觀(guān)（文質(zhì)彬彬，寓教于食）等4大屬性，有著(zhù)不同于海外各國飲食文化的天生麗質(zhì)。
從影響看，中國飲食文化直接影響到日本、蒙古、朝鮮、韓國、泰國、新加坡等國家，是東方飲食文化圈的軸心；與此同時(shí)，它還間接影響到歐洲、美洲、非洲和大洋洲，像中國的素食文化、茶文化、醬醋、面食、藥膳、陶瓷餐具和大豆等，都惠及全世界數十億人。
總之，中國飲食文化是一種廣視野、深層次、多角度、高品位的悠久區域文化；是中華各族人民在100多萬(wàn)年的生產(chǎn)和生活實(shí)踐中，在食源開(kāi)發(fā)、食具研制、食品調理、營(yíng)養保健和飲食審美等方面創(chuàng )造、積累并影響周邊國家和世界的物質(zhì)財富及精神財富。
中國是文明是國，亦是悠久飲食文化之境地。現將飲食文化歸納出以下幾個(gè)特點(diǎn)：
第一，風(fēng)味多樣。由于我國幅員遼闊，地大物博，各地氣候、物產(chǎn)、風(fēng)俗習慣都存在著(zhù)差異，長(cháng)期以來(lái)，在飲食上也就形成了許多風(fēng)味。我國一直就有‘南米北面’的說(shuō)法，口味上有‘南甜北咸東酸西辣’之分，主要是巴蜀、齊魯、淮揚、粵閩四大風(fēng)味。
第二，四季有別。一年四季，按季節而吃，是中國烹飪又一大特征。自古以來(lái)，我國一直按季節變化來(lái)調味、配菜，冬天味醇濃厚，夏天清淡涼爽；冬天多燉燜煨，夏天多涼拌冷凍。
第三，講究美感。中國的烹飪，不僅技術(shù)精湛，而且有講究菜肴美感的傳統，注意食物的色、香、味、形、器的協(xié)調一致。對菜肴美感的表現是多方面的，無(wú)論是個(gè)紅蘿卜，還是一個(gè)白菜心，都可以雕出各種造型，獨樹(shù)一幟，達到色、香、味、形、美的和諧統一，給人以精神和物質(zhì)高度統一的特殊享受。
第四，注重情趣。我國烹飪很早就注重品味情趣，不僅對飯菜點(diǎn)心的色、香、味有嚴格的要求，而且對它們的命名、品味的方式、進(jìn)餐時(shí)的節奏、娛樂(lè )的穿插等都有一定的要求。中國菜肴的名稱(chēng)可以說(shuō)出神入化、雅俗共賞。菜肴名稱(chēng)既有根據主、輔、調料及烹調方法的寫(xiě)實(shí)命名，也有根據歷史掌故、神話(huà)傳說(shuō)、名人食趣、菜肴形象來(lái)命名的，如‘全家福’、‘將軍過(guò)橋’、‘獅子頭’、‘叫化雞’、‘龍鳳呈祥’、‘鴻門(mén)宴’、‘東坡肉’……
第五，食醫結合。我國的烹飪技術(shù)，與醫療保健有密切的聯(lián)系，在幾千年前有‘醫食同源’和‘藥膳同功’的說(shuō)法，利用食物原料的藥用價(jià)值，做成各種美味佳肴，達到對某些疾病防治的目的。”
這便是我對中國飲食文化的見(jiàn)解。
