Some of the main things in the culture conclude ceramics, architecture, music,&nbsp;literature martial&nbsp;arts,&nbsp;cuisine, visual&nbsp;arts, philosophy and&nbsp;religion. Chinese culture was established on the basis of Chinese civilization. It was formed by the full integration of cultural elements of various regions and ethnic groups of the Chinese nation. It is called the Han cultural circle, which specifically refers to the social ideology that reflects the level of social politics, economics, and scientific and technological development.

In this section I’ll be talking about his home country China. China officially the People's Republic of&nbsp;China&nbsp;(PRC), is a country in East Asia. It is the world's most populous country, with a population of around 1.4 billion.

In this book, I will introduce you to a hard working student named Ben. These last few weeks I spent time interviewing him and getting to know about him. While in my own time I spent time researching about his culture and traditions.

On March 20, 2006 Ben was born in Changsha China. It is a city and capital of Hunan sheng (province). Since he was a child Ben has always loved swimming. He recalls almost drowning at 8 years old. Throughout his life he has moved 4 times. He was very upset because he lost a lot of his friends due to moving. He is currently living with his mom, older sister, and younger brothers. Ben attends the Canadian International School.<br/>

In this section I’ll be talking about Chinese New Years. Tied to the&nbsp;Chinese Lunar calendar, the holiday was traditionally a time to honor household and heavenly deities as well as ancestors. It was also a time to bring family together for feasting. With the popular adoption of the Western calendar in 1912, the&nbsp;Chinese&nbsp;joined in&nbsp;celebrating January 1 as&nbsp;New Year’s&nbsp;Day. The main Chinese New Year activities include 1) putting up decorations, 2) eating reunion dinner with family on&nbsp;New Year’s Eve, 3) firecrackers and fireworks, and 4) giving red envelopes and other gifts.
