China has the oldest living civilization in the world. The written history can be traced back to about 3,500 years ago, and the history of artifacts and art works can be traced back further. The oldest works of art in China have ceramics and jade sculptures of 5000 BC. Jade is a collective term used to describe jade or nephrite and is called true jade. It consists of several minerals. It is smooth and textured, but it is also very tough. It can be off-white or dark green, with occasional reddish shades.
Essay collection by Simon Leys (pseudonym for the sinist Pierre Lakemans). Rice is a scholar, which is shown in his writing. The prose ranges from the literary criticism of Don Quixote to the Chinese culture and art, love to reading itself. I have read it twice this year: the second time is good. John Gray - a philosopher, not a self - author - is the author. I spent the most time I read this year.

Krause: I would like to study Mandarin Chinese at the Xi'an Arts College, the oldest capital city in China, and obtain a master's degree in art. In all my art history courses, I have never read Western sculptors who moved to China to influence this culture on his or her work. I would like to be the first sculptor to do this. I have a degree in microbiology, but art is more appealing to me. And I understood that I hate smells in laboratories and hospitals. My main motivation is to study warriors and horses of terracotta in the mausoleum of Xian emperor found in 1974. I think these fighters are by far the most interesting devices in the world. There are over 8000 numbers, each one unique. I have seen them eight times, and I am completely irritated every time.
China is the origin of Oriental martial arts called kung fu or martial arts. China also has a well-respected hot spring monastery and Wudang Mountain.

There are many traditional festivals in China, including the Chinese New Year, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival. The most important thing is the Chinese New Year. Another important festival is the celebration of the National Day in October. On weekends, please try to spend a week off like the New Year.
