Feel Chinese traditional culture

When visit a country, it is not only to see the sightseeing, but also the culture. China has over 5000 years history. From foreigner's eyes, every Chinese knows how to play muscle art. It's not true, but all Chinese people got influenced.

 We eat different food, fruit and meat according to the season, weather, our body condition. We distinguish vegetables, fruits even meat to cold and hot. Like summer time eat watermelon, autumn eat pear. We put Chinese herbs into our food. We massage ourselves on some acupunture points to keep healthy.  

Muscle art come from imitating animal's movements. It was used for fighting, wars. Muscle art from Shaolin temple was for the monks to help their blood circulation after being lotus seating meditation for hours and also protect their temples. So there are many kinds of muscle art left. But such muscle are for those who start it young. Adult's body is not so flexible enough to play it. Hence Taichi gets more and  more popular in China even in the world. Taichi is call soft movements. It require soft, even, slow and deep breath. So Taichi is not only the out movements but also internal movements. That means Taichi can help keeping fit even improve the body condition.

When I guide people in Beijing, I always love to show them parks in the early morning, especially Temple of Heaven where people are doing Taichi, singing Peking opera, dancing. 

I wish all the visitors get attracted by our history and culture and experience it.
