• Four main styles of food in China, namely the Beijing Style, the Shanghai Style, the Sichuan/Szechuan Style and the Cantonese Style. The Cantonese style is the most popular style in overseas restaurants.

• Chopsticks are the primary eating utensil in Chinese culture for solid foods, while spoons are used for drinking soups. Food is usually prepared in bite-sized pieces (except fish, crabs and so on), ready for direct picking up and eating. Traditionally, Chinese culture considered using knives and forks at the table "barbaric" due to fact that these implements are regarded as weapons. It was also considered ungracious have guests work at cutting their own food.

• Ice cream was invented in China around 2000BC when the Chinese packed a soft milk and rice mixture in the snow

    All Chinese food is prepared so that it may be easily handled with chopsticks. In fact, many older-generation Chinese households have no forks at all. Fingers really have to work in order to use these implements adeptly, however, and our fingers have become lazy from eating with forks. Practice is the key to success with these centuries-old tools.…

    The Wall of China is over 13,OOO long miles and has helped over centuries to protect millions of Chinese people from invaders and dangers. Building the Great Wall wasn’t as easy as the thought of it. Death, and forced labor for workers, are simply two of the major sacrifices made as a result of the building of the prominent Great Wall. In 221 B.C.E the Qin Dynasty conquered many towns and states that merged into a large kingdom, China. The Chinese had already built little walls of dirt and stones to protect their villages. But when the Han Dynasty ruled over they were concerned about security. The Xiongnu (Mongols) had already tried to conquer China many times, and therefore the Great Wall of China was built to keep them away. It was simply a series of walls built over the course of 2,500 years. It was an enormous project that required much sacrifice. The benefits of the wall did not outweigh the…

    The Great Wall is one of the greatest building in the world. It has total length of 5,500 miles. The purpose of building this wall was to protect China from the Xiongnu. This wall, for whose construction hundreds of thousands of men were mobilized, and an unknown number died, is a precursor to the current Great Wall of China. It connected numerous state walls which had been built during the previous four centuries, a network of small walls linking river defences to impassable cliffs. A famous South China quotation was "In the North there is the Great wall, in the South there is the Lingqu canal” In 214 BC the Emperor began the project of a major canal to transport supplies to the army The canal allows water transport between north and south China. The canal, 34 kilometres in length, links the Xiang River which flows into the Yangtze and the Li Jiang, which flows into the Pearl River. The canal connected two of China's major waterways and aided Qin's expansion into the south-west. The construction is considered one of the three great feats of Ancient Chinese engineering, the others being the Great Wall and the Sichuan Dujiangyan Irrigation System.…

    The Great Wall of China was one of the finest architectural achievements in the world, stretching over thousands of miles on China. For over 2,000 thousand years, the Great Wall of China has been built and rebuilt to protect China from nomadic invaders in the north. The Great Wall stretches three thousand miles long over northern China. China only has natural barriers to the east, west, and south, making it vulnerable in the north. The giant wall they built was adequate for their needs of protection. Even though the Great Wall of China protected many Chinese, many people have pondered over whether the benefits of the Great Wall were worth the costs.…

    The Great Wall of China was first built by the Qin Dynasty. The Qin Dynasty (221 BCE- 206 BCE) won the Warring States Period in 221 BCE, a war between all the states (dynasties) in China. Qin took over the entire land of China! Once the leader, Shi Huangti, achieved this, he took down all the walls separating all the dynasties from each other, but he kept the walls in the North. He built the first 2100 miles of the Great Wall in the North to keep out the barbarians.…

    Let me start by looking at what Ugandans and Chinese eat. Back in Uganda there are very many customs and totems that limit what one particular group of people can eat. For example a certain clan is forbidden from eating a certain animal or part of an animal and these are different from clan to clan or even an entire tribe. My clan in particular is forbidden from eating a bird called an egret and much as other animals like snakes, snails, dogs and cats are not mentioned, eating any of them is unheard of. However this doesn’t seem to be the case in china. In my first few days in china, I came to realize that the Chinese people have almost everything on the menu, even some plants and animals I had never heard of. Still on the topic of food, unlike in china where there are special foods eaten during certain festivals like moon cake, in Uganda there are no such foods. When it comes to foods favored by different ethnic groups or tribes, I believe the Ugandan and Chinese cultures are similar i.e. like china; different ethnic groups in Uganda have a unique style of preparing different foods.…
