Getting Acquainted with the Chinese Culture

Monday, 02.12.19

The Day of Chinese culture was held in the Chinese information resource center of the National library of the Chuvash Republic on November, 30. The Chinese language teacher Liu Qianqian and undergraduate students of ChuvSU historical and geographical faculty Yuan Yuan and Liu Kaidi held a master class on calligraphy and Chinese tea ceremony.

Let us briefly inform about these rituals.

The Chinese tea ceremony - Gongfu-Cha or, as it is often called in China, Kung Fu tea, is one of numerous historically developed Chinese traditions, originated several thousand years ago in ancient China. Gaiwan - traditional Chinese tea utensils present a particluar interest as it is a model of the world, where the saucer symbolizes the basis (earth), the cover symbolizes protection (sky), and the cup itself represents a person standing confidently on the ground protected by the sky.

Chinese calligraphy, dating back five thousand years, has always reflected the spiritual state of the Chinese society. To master Chinese writing it is necessary to learn 5000 characters, the combination of which gives about 20,000 words. The number of Chinese characters in the famous Kangxi Dictionary (康熙字典 Zìdiǎn, which was considered a standard guide throughout the 18th and 19th centuries and was compiled by the Kangxi Emperor of the Qing dynasty) is about 47,035. Although it is fair to say that most of the characters in the dictionary are archaic.

There are four main groups of hieroglyphs:

Pictograms- signs which in a schematic form show an object or a phenomenon and are an original variety of writing.

Ideograms are closely related to pictograms, but unlike them can mean an idea.

Ideophonograms - consist of two elements, one of which conveys the meaning of the word "key", while the second indicates its sound "phonetic".

Borrowed hieroglyphs  are hieroglyphs those having an independent meaning and are also used to write other words.
