-K. M. Faridul Hasan

China is really a beautiful, wonderful, very big country in the world with the diversified culture, tradition, language & humanity. I am very much lucky to get the prestigious Chinese government Scholarship for studying my masters in Textile science & Engineering at Wuhan Textile University. Along with my study in University I have also tried to visit some tourist spots in china & to meet the Chinese people. I am really enchanted with beautiful China & Chinese culture, tradition, education system, food, lifestyles etc.

Chinese Life style:

The Chinese are industrious, hardworking, peace-loving and a strenuous nation, while the numerous people are hospitable, conservative, modest and in general easy to approach. Nowadays, Chinese enjoy a higher standard of living, with greatly improved facilities for education, a fact that contributes much to the overall quality of life for the entire nation. Economic growth means that in time those in the poorer regions will enjoy a higher standard of living but with such a large population these improvements take time. There has been a distinct improvement in the status of women; while rights of senior citizens and children enjoy more protection and care.Chinese peoples are much friendly, polite & trustworthy. They are too much helpful to others.

Chinese family Concept:

The traditional Chinese way of life, in theory, advocates the harmony and order among the individual, the family and society. The best way to accomplish this ideal is to cultivate ones mind, manage a family well and efficiently govern a country. In traditional Chinese culture, the family is the basic unit of society, while individuals are only one part of the family. The blood relationship between the father and son is the most important element of society. The extended families of old had "four generations living under one roof". The so-called "four generations under one roof" meant the cohabitation of the father and mother, son and daughter-in-law (or daughter and son-in-law), grandson and granddaughter-in-law, the great-grandson and the great-granddaughter.

 Chinese Culture:

China is a great country to reflect the most traditional culture and the history is of 5000 years . Learning the clothing people wear and food eaten by the Chinese people, discovery the traditional Chinese family relationship and experiencing the colorful Chinese festivals, Chinese marriage customs and Chinese funeral activity, explore the various housing developments and apartments for rent offered throughout the country. One will discover a differentChinain every aspects of life. This is the real Chinese life.

The culture of the Chinese people, as shown in the conduct of their daily lives, closely adheres to the precepts of Taoism. Taoism is inclined to simplicity in all things. People thoughts and feelings conform to each season as they become one with nature, acting in harmony with everything on earth, and valuing human relationships. Since one's life must respect and conform to the seasons, the jieqi (seasonal division points in the calendar) must be acknowledged. Festivals and jieqi are particularly important to the Chinese.

Not only in festivals and other special occasions, examples of Chinese culture may be seen in everyday activities of the Chinese. In playing the lute or chess, reading or painting, the important thing is not technique, but rather one's frame of mind when conducting these activities. The tea ceremony originated inChina. It focuses the attention of participants on clarity of thinking and refinement. Zen Buddhism has had an extensive following in Chinese history; its practice influenced the daily habits of a great number of people. Zen Buddhism may be the best way to exemplify the mysterious quality of oriental culture.

This is a way of life that pursues harmony with nature and with others, simplicity, and a feeling of warmth and oneness with all.

Today,Chinahas changed a lot and people's life style has changed too. Fewer and fewer peoplel go to work by bike. Instead, bus and trains became the most popular ways to traveling. Rich or the middle class peple will have their own cars or travel by air. But there are still many bicycle users in every streets of city. In the mountainous area, it is seen that peasants there still use horse or bull to carry their harvest rice or corn. But people life changed every day.

Trains and buses were the busiest in this time.
