Summary

The passage discusses Confucius’ theory of cultivating one’ s behavior toward family and society. It begins with the introduction of historical background of his time –the

Spring and Autumn Period. It experienced a dramatic change of social system and

prolonged chaos and fighting. As a result, the cultural tradition inherited from

ancient times was corrupted. Confucius wanted to restore the great tradition

abandoned 抛(弃 ) by people and established harmonious social relationships

among people. To realize this, Confucius proposed self-cultivation with the starting

point from feelings to parents. The feelings are nourished and cultivated into family

reverence. The love for parents extends to other people as one begins to

The Analects is one of the Confucian classics. The book records the sayings and

behaviours of Confucius and his disciples. It teaches the central theme of Confucianism

1、 The Wisdom of Confucius discusses the most important school of Chinese

philosophy— Confucianism — with the focus on its core concepts Ren and Li . Ren

means goodness or benevolence and Li means ritual or propriety. Ren and Li were

advocated by Confucius 2500 years ago for the purpose of restoring political order

of Zhou Dynasty. The doctrine has exerted a great influence on Chinese culture ever

since, from cultivating filial piety at home, to giving love to everybody, until keeping

social and political order in a country. With Ren and Li, Chinese culture is

characterized by harmony and equilibrium, building harmonious relationships

between human and nature, between any individuals, and keeping equilibrium socially, economically and politically. That is Confucius wisdom and that is the essenceof traditional Chinese thinking.

在《道德经》中，老子建立了以“道”为核心的哲学体系。老子提出的“道”是“非常道”。他认为宇宙万物均起源于“道”，道具有无为、相反、无形、无名、玄妙等特征。道家的许多原理 (principles) 已经成为中国人重要的理想准则

(important ideals and norms),对于中国文化发展形成了重大影响。

In the Dao De Jing, Laozi established a philosophy system centered onDao. He refers Dao as invariable and constant Dao. He holds that Dao is the origin of the cosmos and that Dao is characterized by non-action, opposition, shapelessness, namelessness,

obscurity, etc. Many Daoist principles have already been Chinese people ideals and norms and have exerted a profound influence on the development of Chinese culture.’ s import

一般情况下，汉字是由十几种基本笔画构成的。笔画和大多数欧洲语言的字母作用

类似，只是笔画之间无法构成“音节”。汉字有八个基本的笔画：点、横、折、

竖、钩、提、撇、捺。

在一个小小的方形空间中，将笔画组合成字时，必然要采取数量不等的笔画

以及各种各样的连接和排列方式，以求使字形易识而又简洁。于是在这方形空间

里，各式笔画就采取了上下、左右、分合、交叉、穿插、重叠、堆积、包裹等组合

方式。

Chinese characters, in general, are composed of a dozen basic strokes, which have similar functions to the letters of the Western languages. But they do not combine sounds into syllables. There are eight basic strokes: dot, horizontal stroke, turning stroke, vertical stroke, hook stroke, right-upward stroke, left-downward stroke and right-downward stroke. In a small square space, characters are composed of different strokes linked and arranged in various ways, thus they are easy to be recognized, and look neat. These strokes are placed in various positions in the square–upper or lower, left or right, separate or linked, crossed, going through, overlapping, piling up or

surrounding. (Para. 5)

After this ceremony, ha Jing, bia She and the other men hurried to the Rong Mansion, where they waited to pay their respects to the Lady Dowager. She, however, now went to Madam You's sitting room, the floor of which was covered with a red carpet where stood a large gilded cloisonne brazier, its three legs in the form of elephant trunks.

中国菜（ Chinese cuisine）享誉世界，是世界美食的明珠。中国菜菜系繁多，

烹饪方法也不尽相同。其四大要素——色、形、香、味，决定了菜品的好坏，也

是判断其质量的标准。中国的南北方饮食也各具特色。北方菜以色艳味重取胜，

最大的特点就是就地取材，讲究火候。南方有些地方的菜则口味清淡，注重保留

食材的原始味道。

Chinese cuisine, which is world famous, is a pearl of world cuisine. It has various styles of cooking and its cooking techniques are diverse as well. Chinese cuisine features four elements— color, shape, aroma and taste. The four elements decide how good a dish is and are also the criteria of judging its quality. The northern foods and southern foods have their unique characteristics. The northern dishes attach great importance to bright color and strong taste, with the greatest feature of using local food materials and controlling cooking time and temperature. However, in some parts of southern China, the dishes feature light taste and remain the original flavor of the food materials.

中国传统的婚礼流程从求婚开始，男方会送一封书信至女方家，请求迎娶他们家

的女儿。多数情况下，男方家会雇用一位媒人沟通双方家庭。准新郎和准新娘的

生辰八字也要进行比对，以确保不犯冲。如今，中国大城市的婚礼跟西方很相似。

然而，有些小地方仍然遵循传统，婚礼流程也基本未变。

Traditional Chinese wedding process starts with a proposal of marriage and a letter is sent from the groom to the bride ’familys asking for permission to marry their daughter. In many cases, a matchmaker is employed by the groom’ sfamily to communicate the families of both parties. The Eight Characters of Birth of the bride-to-be and the one of the groom-to-be are checked to make sure the couple is compatible. Today, wedding ceremonies in large cities of China closely resemble the western ones. In smaller places, however, the traditions are still kept and the wedding process is almost unchanged.

从服饰成为人们说一部分的那天起，人们就已将社会地位、生活方式、审美情趣、以及种种文化观念融入到服饰中。服饰在任何时代都是社会历史风貌最真实、最直观的反映。从这个意义上说，服饰的历史也是一部生动的文明发展史。在我们这个历史悠久的衣冠之国，不仅有丰富的考古资料记录服饰发展的历史，在古代神话、史书、诗歌、小说以及戏剧中，与服饰有关的记载也随处可见。

From the day garments became part of people's lives, they have been endowed with connotations concerning the social status, lifestyles, aesthetics and cultural concepts. Garments have always been the truest and most straightforward reflection of the social and historical scenes of any given time. In this sense, the history of garments is also a vivid development history of civilization. In our country with a long history of garments and ornaments, there is a wealth of archeological findings showing the development of garments, as well as their portrayals in ancient mythology, history books, poems and songs, novels and dramas.

state-of-art exemplar of the time, showing the architectural layout, hierarchy, construction

tech-niques and architectural art. It is necessary for us to enhance the sus-tainable protection of the authenticity and integrity of the property in order to better showcase the scientific, historic and artistic values of the Forbidden City.

太和殿、中和殿、保和殿共处的土字形大台基，其长度为 232 米，宽度为 130 米，

二者之比为 9:5 ；天安门城楼面阔九间，进深五间，二者之比仍为 9:5 。中国古代奇

数为阳，偶数为阴。紫禁城中外朝宫殿数量皆为阳数，而内廷宫殿数量为阴数。阳

数中九为最高，五居正中，因而古代常以九和五象征帝王的权威。

The Hall of Supreme Harmony, the Hall of Middle Harmony and the Hall of

Preserving Harmony erect above a 土-shaped terrace, which is 232 meters long and

130 meters wide with the ratio of length and width 9:5. Tian ’ anmen Gate is nine ba wide and five bays deep with the ratio of width and depth 9:5. In ancient China, the odd numbers are yang while the even numbers are yin. The number of the palaces of the Outer Court of the Forbidden City is yang while that of the Inner Court is yin. Among the numbers of yang, nine is the highest one while five ranks in the middle.

So in ancient times, nine and five symbolize the imperial power of the emperors.

Part I Wisdom and Beliefs Unit 1 Confucian thought on heaven and humanity Confucius (551-479 BC), known in China as Kongzi, given name Qiu and alias Zhongni, was a native of Zouyi (present-day Qufu in Shandong Province) of the State of Lu during the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC). A great thinker, educator and founder of Confucianism, Confucius is an ancient sage to the Chinese people. His words and life story were recorded by his disciples and their students in The Analects (Lunyu). Confucius on Heaven: the source of Everything In the Shang (1600-1046 BC) and Zhou (1046-256 BC) dynasties, the prevalent concept of “Heaven”was that of a personified god, which influenced Confucius. Generally, however, Confucius regarded “Heaven”as nature. He said, “Heaven does not speak in words. It speaks through the rotation of the four seasons and the growth of all living things.” Obviously, heaven equaled nature, in the eyes of Confucius. Moreover, nature was not a lifeless mechanism separate from humans; instead, it was the great world of life and the process of creation of life. Human life was part and parcel of nature as a whole. Confucius on People: ren and li Ren and Li are the two core concepts of Confucius’s doctrine about people. When his students Fan Chi asked him about ren, Confucius replied, “love people”. This is Confucius’ most important interpretation of ren. Love for the people is universal love. Confucius further emphasized that this kind of love should “begin with the love for one’s parents”. He believed no one could love people in general if they did not even love their own parents. Confucius regarded “filial piety and fraternal duty”as the essence of ren. The Doctrine of the Mean (Zhongyong) quotes Confucius as saying, “ The greatest love for people is the love for one’s parents.” He also said, “Children should not travel far while their parents are alive. If they have no choice but to do so, they must retain some restraint.” He did not mean that children should not leave their parents at all. What he meant was that children should not make the parents anxious about them while away from home. Confucius said again, “Children should think often of the age of their parents. They should feel happy for the health and longevity of their parents. They should also feel concern for the aging of their parents.” By ren, Confucius meant universal love based on love for one’s parents. How should people love one another then? Confucius said, “One should be aware that other people may have similar desires as oneself. While fulfilling one’s desires, allow others to fulfill their desires as well.” He further said, “Do not do toward others anything you would not want to be done to you.” Thus from oneself to one’s family, from family to society, one should extend love to all people. Mencius (c. 372-289 BC), a great Confucian scholar, best summarized ren as, “loving one’s parents, loving the people, loving everything in the world.” Li refers to rituals, traditions and norms in social life. Of these, Confucius regarded burial rituals and ancestral worship rituals as the most important, because they rose from human feelings. He said, “A child should not leave his parents’ bosom until he is three years old.” He naturally love his parents. The ritual of wearing mourning for a deceased parent for three years was an expression of the child’s love and remembrance. Confucius on the State of life

1.香囊(scented sachet)，古代也称“香袋”，通常是用布缝制或彩色丝线编织的袋子，里面塞满香草(aromatic herbs)。香囊最初用来吸汗、驱虫和避邪。香囊不仅有用，而且可作装饰品。它们的形状和大小各异，有圆形、椭圆形和其他形状。它们通常配有精致的图案，每个图案都象征着特别的含义。例如，双鱼或成对蝴蝶图案象征男女之爱;莲花或牡丹花(peony flower)等图案象征女性;松树和仙鹤图案象征长寿;石榴(guava)图案象征很多孩子。漂亮的香囊不仅是装饰品，而且含有丰富的文化和历史内涵。翻译：Scented sachets, also called “fragrant bags” in ancient times, are bags usually sewed with cloth or weaved with multicolor silk threads and stuffed with aromatic herbs. The fragrant bags were originally used for absorbing sweat, repelling insects and warding off evils. Scented sachets are not only useful, but also ornamental. They come in different shapes and sizes, such as round, oval and many others. And they are normally decorated with elaborate patterns, with each pattern symbolizing a special meaning.For instance,a double-fish or double-butterfly pattern smybolizes the love between a man and a woman;patterns like lotus or peony flowers symbolize women;pine and crane patterns symbolize longevity and a guava pattern is the symbol of lots of children.A nice scented sachet is not just an ornament,but more of something that contains cultural and historical richness. 2.中国民间艺术与中国哲学统一于“阴阳(yin-yang)生万物”这一理念。这一理念源于中国原始社会，是对人类的人生感悟的哲学注解。中国人祖先的哲学论断是“近看自己，远观他人”。要理解中华民族民间艺术的原始艺术，这一结论必不可少。人类的本能欲望是生存并通过繁衍(propagation)继续存在。人生来的首要本能是求生，然后是长寿。从原始社会到今天，阴阳和永生的观念始终贯穿中国的社会生活和民族文化。中国民间艺术反映了社会的所有基本哲学理念。翻译：Chinese folk art and Chinese philosophy are unified in the belief that yin-yang produces all living things in the world. Originated in Chinese primitive society, this was the philosophical explanation of human's perception of life. Chinese ancestors philosophical conclusion was to “look at oneself up close and other creatures from afar”，which is essential to the understanding of the primitive art to the folk art of the nation. To live and to continue life through propagation are the two instinctive desires of human. From birth, a person's first instinct is to survive, and then to live a long life. From primitive society to the present day, the view of yin-yang and perpetual life has permeated in all aspects of social life and the national culture of Chinese society.Chinese folk art reflects all of the basic philosophical concepts. 3.象棋(Chinese chess)两人玩的棋盘游戏，源于春秋战国时期的军事战略。早期的象棋由三部分组成:棋子、骰(dice)和棋盘。现代象棋没有骰子,它在棋子和棋盘方面与古代不同。棋盘有9行宽、10行长，共90个交叉点，构成方形网格(grid)。棋子在交叉点上落子或移动。对弈者在棋盘进行象征性的军很战争，部署马匹、战车，根据自己对棋局和游戏规则的理解组织军队。目前，中国象棋已传至全世界，进一步传承、发扬中国传统文化。
