Symbols of Chinese Culture(中国文化标志)

Symbols of Chinese Culture

Every country has its own symbols, so does China. As we all know, China is a country with a long history, so when it comes to symbols of Chinese culture, we can think of many things such as the Great Wall, lanterns and dumplings. Every symbol is a miniature of the

long history and splendid culture of China.

Perhaps the Great Wall is the most famous symbol of Chinese culture. It took so many years for thousands of workers to complete this miracle in human’s history, which at first is used to prevent invaders from the north of China. We can see the Great Wall in many films which describe the ancient China. The Great wall witnesses the ups and downs of China.

Now it is one of the best places which foreigners can visit to know about China.

Dragon is also a symbol of Chinese culture. It is an imaginary creature that has a strong power superior to nature. People in ancient times created it by imagination and it is thought to be a symbol of fortunate and lucky. In ancient times, it was used to represent the empire and ordinary people were forbidden to use it. Now the image of dragon is

widely used to spread Chinese culture.

Chinese people have their own specific food. Among so many kinds of foods, the dumpling is the most representative symbol. In China, it is a tradition to eat dumplings in the Spring Festival. Making dumplings with family members in the Spring Festival is

thought to be one of the happiest times in a year.

Every culture is a great fortune of human beings. There are other symbols of Chinese culture. It is our duty to spread our splendid culture and make it known to the world.
