Calligraphy is regareded in china as the art of writing,beautiful handwriting with brush, or study of the rule and techniques of this art.

As a traditional art, calligraphy occupies the same position as painting in the history of Chinese art.

In China, many people can write a good hand but only a few of them could become calligrapher. It takes paintaking effort and years of assidicous practice to qualify oneself as an artist in this field. One of the great masters in calligraphy in chinese history is WangXiZhi, he has exerted profound influence on Chinese calligraphers and scholars.

Thanks for all of you gave me advices! ^_^

The biggest problem for me is my listening comprehension and oral.i guess it is also a difficulty for most of Chinese :(

Do you know? i have some foreign friends ( their mother language is english) complain,many chinese students take them as tools to improve english! when they stay in China,there are many students want to talk with them,but they aren't willing to be disturbed at all!


Hi!moonlighting,nice to meet you! are you from Belguim? at the beginning of this year,because of our business with Bulgium,my boss asked me to call Fortis bank!my god! understanding through the phone,i didn't dare to!!! after being scolded by my boss,i called,you Belgian are very nice and patient,when i got through for about 30 minutes,we got their help! i still remember the receptionist of Fortis bank,whose name is Miss (maybe Ms) Paulette claerhout,she gave me her biggest help,thank her forever......


Thank you!i will! he he he......

chinczyk,how are you? did you finish your examinations? ^_^


you and yor fiancee must do better than me~!!! when we are making chinese jiaozi,all the friends laugh at my jiaozi,because they are really too ugly :( and when they are boiled,they are broken! fortunately,i'm from south of China,not north,so i don't like eating jiaozi so much,when i want to take them,i will buy quick frozen product,since all the chinese people don't think it is delicious,but no way......

I'm from Hunan province,it is a inland province,if you hear of zhangjiajie,Hengshan moutain and China's most beautiful town-Phoenix city,you will know Hunan province.if you don't hear of these places,how about Chairman Mao? Chairman Mao is also Hunan people ^_^


although in Hunan province,there are many pretty girls,i think i'm a common people with ordinary face of yellow race,hehehe......


thanks for your pic,but i want to know much more about what are the dark brown and green things on the pierogi in your pic? ^_^

How does you call him?originally i call him "Mr.Mao Ze Dong",but when i told to my Pakistan client :"i'm from the hometown of Mao Ze Dong",he asked me "Is Chairman Mao?" and i don't make sure if foreign people also know his full name,maybe Chairman Mao is more familiar.so......


why i don't understand this sentence?is my english so poor???!!!

I don't think you would write bad language here,hehehe......


Different standpoints will reach different evaluations,since being chinese,we are hard to take a full judgement for chairman Mao's contribution and fault.but whatever he have done,it doesn't influence his greatness in China history.

There must be some part of people in west insult leaders of socialist states with certain purposes,China also has people revolt against capitalist countries,but existence has its reason. i think most of people in the world will view history objectively,so the whole human being gets it developments.

Please keep this thread on topic.

However studying,workin or living abroad isn't a easy thing for common chinese people,if we cost so much to stay at second country but can't learn and handle their language,then what is the good way to study english in this world? :(


Yes,i also agree,but which is the degree to judge our english is good or poor? i think my english is poor,i don't dare to communicate with foreigner,i don't find enough words to express myself,i don't speak english names of many things around me.but many clients would say:"christy,your english is really good!"of course,it is on the MSN or they read my english emails.when they meet me or call me,wow~~~,it is awful!!!

Anyway,i guess i'm not a genius in studying language,then,no way,remember the words and view english news one step by step! A slow sparrow should make an early start! christy has to become a slow sparrow......

Yesterday,i went shopping in one of the suppermarkets,when i passed the electrical appliances department,there was showing a cartoon in the television which is on sale.it is a very old french cartoon "Barbapapa"! so i standed there and watched for about half hour ^_^

In deeply memories of chinese children's,we know well about this french cartoon-Barbapapa,and other Czechic cartoon-The Mole.

How about Polish cartoon???
