Part IV Chinese & Foreign Culture Introduction
Task One
Shen Nong and Huang Di were the representatives of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
Shen Nong, also called Yan Di, lived in the Jiang River valley and his surname was Jiang. He is credited with the invention of farming and medication. He invented the wooden plow and taught people the art of agriculture. By experimenting with various plants, he discovered medicinal herbs and taught people how to treat diseases. Huang Di, also called Xuan Yuan or You Xiong, lived in the Ji River valley, and his surname was Ji. He is resourceful in invention as well as in war and is credited with the invention of many things, like carts and boats, clothes, houses, writing, and silkworm breeding and silk weaving.
Wars urged the mixture and the assimilation of different tribes and eventually formed a tribal alliance of Huang Di and Yan Di. Huang Di became the chief.
Tradition has it that Chinese civilization originates from the era of Huang Di and Yan Di, for they are the ancestors of Chinese people, that is why the Chinese call themselves the descendants of Yan and Huang.
Task Two
15世纪后期，在西班牙女王的支持下,意大利航海家克里斯多弗·哥伦布于1492年率领船队穿越浩瀚的大西洋，抵达了西印度群岛的一些小岛。

他误以为到达了亚洲，并不知道自己已经发现了一个新大陆。

阿美利歌•韦斯普奇证明了这是新大陆，因而以他的名字命名。

1607年，第一块英国殖民地在弗吉尼亚的詹姆斯敦建立。

1607年到1733年，英国在北美的东海岸建立了13个殖民地。

1620年，102名清教徒乘坐“五月花”号来到新大陆，在普利茅斯建立了殖民地。

这批清教徒与那些身为手艺人或农夫的清教徒不同，他们富有、受过良好教育，且不允许异教存在。

这些殖民者在新大陆建立了新的生活方式。

这些特点在美国人性格形成中发挥了重要作用：政府的代表形式、法制，对人权的尊重、宗教上的包容性以及强烈的个人进取心。
