Chinas Culture The culture I chose to learn new things about is China.I chose China because I don’t know that much about Chinas culture.Seeming that everything is made in chine,in our culture,I was interest in learning about their culture.More bird species lives in China than any other place in the world.A really cool fact that I learned was the oldest tree in the world in China’s ginko.the tree first appeared in the Jurassic age about 160 million years ago. China has a landmass of 9,600,000 sq km, and is the third-largest country in the world. China is the world's most populous country with 1.28453 billion at the end of 2002, one-fifth of the world's total. Schools in China have a break lasting for several days or a week during China’s national holiday in the beginning of October. Chinese students attend classes five or six days a week from early morning (about 7am) to early evening (4pm or later). On Saturdays, many schools hold required morning classes in science and math.I found these facts about the culture of China interesting,but am glad to say I do not live their due to the education part.I feel they go to school way longer,I would hate to go to school that long,but I don’t think it bothers the students due to the fact that’s what their use to in their culture.China is way populated than most places and I feel their strict because they have to keep control over their culture because its so populated. http://losangeles.china-consulate.org/eng/culture/acc/t80661.htm http://chineseculture.about.com/od/thechineselanguage/a/Introduction-To-Education-In-China.htm
