4. 四合院(Siheyuan)是中国传统民居中最重要的形式。它数量多、分布广,并且在汉族、满族、白族以及其他少数民族中十分流行。大多数房屋采用木质框架。主屋建在南北走向的轴线上,两个厢房则位于四合院的两侧。家庭中的长者住在主屋里,而两翼则是年轻一代的卧室。妇女住在内院。客人和男仆住在外院。这种分不符合封建礼制(feudal regulations)。四合院遍布全国的城乡,但由于各地自然条件和生活方式各有不同,因此发展出各自的特征。北京的四合院式最具代表性的。
Siheyuan is the most important form of Chinese traditional residential house. It is great in number and wide in distribution, popular among the Han, Manchu, Bai, and some of other minority groups. Most of the houses are of wood framework. The principal room is built on the south-north axis, and two wing rooms are located on both sides of it. The family elders live in the principal room and wings are the bedrooms for the younger generations. Women live in the inner yard. Guests and male servants live in the outer yard. This distribution is in accordance with the feudal regulations. Siheyuan spreads over towns and villages throughout China, but each developed its own characteristics as a result of respective natural conditions and different way of life. Siheyuan in Beijing is the most representative.
5. 风水(Feng shui)是中国建筑中的一个特殊传统,是古人对空间的布置与安排方法,其目的是为了实现建筑与环境的和谐共存。风水的字面意思就是“风和水”。在古代,风水通常将从选址、设计、建筑直到内部和外部装修的整个过程联系在一起。它将天、地、人三者融为一体,并且在所选的地址、方位、自然法则以及人类命运之间寻求和谐。它反对人对自然的破坏,而是强调人与环境的共处,这种状态被认为是完美的、神秘的。
Feng shui, a special Chinese tradition in architecture, is the ancient Chinese practice of placement and arrangement of space to achieve coexistence in harmony with the environment. Feng shui literally translates as “wind-water”. Feng shui usually links the whole process from site selection, designing, construction and interior and exterior decoration in ancient times.

It repulses human destruction of nature and stresses cohabitation with the environment, which is regarded as perfect and occult.

7. 京剧的脸谱(Peking Opera masks)几乎成了中国文化的一个代表性的符号,一种象征。许多国家举办“中国文化年”,招贴画上往往画着一个大大的京剧脸谱。脸谱有两种用意。一种是表明剧中人的身份和性格。如“红脸”表示这个人忠勇,“黑脸”表示这个人粗豪,“白脸”表示这个人奸恶。再一种用意是体现人们对这个角色的道德评价和审美(aesthetic)评价,如可敬的、可恨的、崇高的、可笑的,等等。脸谱除了这种含义外,它本身又具有一种色彩美、图案美。
Peking Opera masks are now almost emblematic of China. Many countries design posters using Peking Opera masks to signal a “Year of Chinese Culture”. Masks serve two purpose. One is to indicate the identity and character of the role. For example, a “red face” means the person is loyal and brave; a “black face” signifies the person is straightforward; and a “white face” identities the person as crafty and evil. The other purpose is to express people’s appraisal of the roles from a moral and aesthetic point of view, such as responsible, hateful, noble, or ridiculous, etc. Besides being evocative, Peking Opera masks are in and of themselves an art of beautiful colors and designs.

Since knot is pronounced as “jie” in Chinese similar with that of “Ji”, which means blessing, good salary, longevity, happiness, fortune, safety and health and is the everlasting pursuit of Chinese people, some Chinese Knots express people’s various hopes. For example, the room of newlyweds is usually decorated with a Pan-Chang Knot to symbolize eternal love.

A modern Chinese usually has a surname(“family name”) or xing and a given name (“first name”), or ming (or mingzi), always in thar order. Thus Wang Xiaoping is Mr. Wang with personal name Xiaoping. In ancient China, however, naming was very complicated and one person usually had several names, and naming involved xing, shi, ming and zi. Each of these four words meant a different thing. Xing and shi together formed today’s surname, and ming and zi today’s given name. today, people use xingshi to refer to a person’s surname, mingzi to refer to one’s given name. study of ancient Chinese documents shows that xing originally referred to the names of different matriarchal tribes. It also had something to do with the place where people lived. Researches show that xing came into being during the matrilineal society period, around four to five thousand years ago.
