如果我们回顾历史,中国有1300多年科举考试的历史,这种考试制度选拔了很多人才,它成为寒门子弟向上流动最重要的通道。‘朝为田舍郎,暮登天子堂’讲的就是寒门子弟通过科举考试改变阶层的故事. 因此,中国人也形成了重视教育的观念,比如‘万般皆下品,惟有读书高’。但由于旧科举考试制度的僵化,1905年,清廷出于发展新教育、培养实用人才的需要,废除了科举制度。
If we look back , China has more than 1300 years of imperial examination history, this examination system had selected a lot of talent, It become the most important channel for poor children to move up . 'Zhāo wéi tián shě láng ,mù dēng tiān zǐ táng' is about the story of civilian population change the class through the imperial examination.Therefore, the Chinese people attached much importance to education.Such as the saying ‘Wàn bān jiē xià pǐn ,wéi yǒu dú shū gāo’ .  However, because of the rigidity of the old imperial examination system, in 1905, the Qing Dynasty abolished it because of the need to develop new education and train practical talents.

很多年前当我还是个孩子时,听说过‘神农架野人’的故事。长大后,才知道真的有‘神农架’这个地方,它位于湖北省西北部,得名于一个叫‘神农’的人,而神农是中国药神和农业之神。在‘神农架’山区,林海茫茫,层峦叠嶂,山谷深处,人迹罕至。很多年来,当地人都传说神农架深山里有野人:直立行走、身高过2米、手长垂至膝、脚大、双眼朝前、面似人脸......虽然科学家认为野人的传说不可信,但也许我们永远都应该对自然和造化存一份敬畏之心。
Many years ago, when I was a child, I heard the story of Shennongjia savage.After grown-up ,I found there is indeed a place called  "Shennongjia" , which is located in the northwest of Hubei Province, named after a person ‘Shennong’ who is the god of medicine and agriculture in China. In the mountain area of Shennongjia, the forest sea is boundless, the mountains are stacked, the valley is deep, few people tread. For many years, the local people have said that there are savage in the deep mountains : walking upright, over 2 meters tall, long hands hanging to the knees, big feet, eyes facing forward, face like human......Although scientists believe that the legend of savage is not credible, perhaps we should always have a heart of awe of nature and creation.

Tea in China has a history of thousands of years, no one can tell exactly where tea originated , and almost every place in China has its own characteristics tea. For example, Hangzhou West Lake Longjing, Fujian Pu'er .And tea culture has a long history in China. Gentleman like to enjoy tea in small cup ,manual workers like the tea in a large bowl .Drinking tea is to quench thirst, it is a taste enjoyment, sometimes it is a mood.
茶在中国有几千年历史了,谁也说不清茶叶究竟起源于中国什么地方,而几乎每个地方都有自己的特色茶叶。比如杭州西湖龙井,福建普洱。而茶文化在中国源远流长。风雅之士小杯品茶,贩夫走卒大碗喝茶,喝茶是解渴,喝茶是味觉享受,有时喝的是一个心情。

There are many polysyllabic characters in Chinese, which may be a difficult point in Chinese learning. These polysyllabic characters have same shape, but pronounced differently in different words or sentences , although many polysyllabic characters are just with different tones. Many foreign students can speak Chinese fluently, but they often can not distinguish polysyllabic characters , which is also a reason why their Chinese does not sound authentic enough. Such as ‘种’can pronounced as ‘zhǒng’ and ‘zhòng’. Can you distinguish it clearly?
汉语中有不少多音字,这也许是汉语学习的一个难点。这些多音字字形相同,但在不同词语中发音不同,虽然很多多音字只是声调的不同. 很多外国学生汉语说得流利,但他们往往分不清多音字,这也是为什么他们的汉语听起来不够地道的一个原因。比如‘种’有两种发音‘zhǒng’和‘zhòng’.你能分清楚吗?

‘yì异’means ‘ different ‘; ‘yì xiàng异象’means ‘magical vision different with usual’.
The historical legend about heroes seems like to described when they were born the nature had some magical vision .Such as Shennong who is the god of agriculture and medicine in China. It is said there suddenly appeared nine clear springs when Shennong was born in a wide cave , and Shennong had horns on his head . 历史传说对英雄人物的记载中,总是喜欢描述他们出生时自然界出现某种异象。比如中国的农业之神和药王神---神农,据说他出生在一个山洞里,在神农出生的时候,石洞周围突然冒出九眼清泉,而且神农头上长着角。

From west to east ,the topography of China is from high to low by three steps.Due to topographical features, most rivers flow east or east into the ocean. Most of Chinese people also lives in the richer plains of the east. Such as Peking ,Shanghai ,Nanjing ,Guangzhou ,Shenzhen etc.  
中国的地形从西往东,按三个阶梯从高到低.由于中国的地形特征, 大多数河流从西向东流向海洋.而中国大多数人口也都居住在东部比较富裕的平原地区,比如北京,上海,南京,广州,深圳等。

‘Huáng黄’means yellow ; ‘ Huáng hé黄河’ means ‘the yellow river’ .The Yellow River has a large amount of alluvial sediment from the Loess Plateau, and the river water is yellow, so it is called the Yellow River. It flows through the central plain area, which is the main birthplace of Chinese civilization,so the Yellow River is also known as the Mother River of China. 黄河带有大量黄土高原冲积下来的泥沙,河水呈现黄色,因此叫黄河。黄河流经的中部平原地区是华夏文明主要发源地,因此黄河又被称为中国的母亲河。

‘shui huo bu rong水火不容’ is a Chinese idiom. ‘水Water ’and‘火 fire’ are two things of the opposite nature and can’t be compatible at all. Sometimes it describe the people can’t be together for hatred . In Chinese legend ,the fire god is called' Zhu Rong', the water god is called'Gong gong'. Neither of them given in for each other. In order to show strength ,the water god Gonggong damaged the Buzhou mountains, resulting in the first  flooding in the world .
‘shui huo bu rong 水火不容’ 是一个中国成语。水和火是两种性质相反的东西,根本不能相容。有时比喻 人与人之间有仇恨,不能在一起。传说中火神叫‘祝融’,水神叫‘共工’,他们俩谁也不服谁,水神共工为了表现自己的厉害,撞坏了不周山,导致人间第一次洪灾。

Human always like to live by water. The Yellow River Basin in China also gave birth to the earliest Chinese culture, and China's floods seem to be quite frequent, the  five thousand years of Chinese history also was a history of water control.
In the Chinese legend, the water God Gonggong fought with the fire God Zhurong, Gonggong damaged the Buzhou mountains which supported the sky and earth, the water came out of the sky river, flooding the world. This was the first great flood. Finally, the human creator Nu WA made a multicolored divine stones out of hot fire
and mended the sky.
人类总是逐水而居。在中国的黄河流域也诞生了最早的华夏文化,而中国的水灾似乎特别多,中国人五千年历史,也是一部治水的历史。
传说水神共工与火神打架,一怒之下撞坏了支撑天地的不周山,天河的水流出,人间洪灾泛滥,这就是人类第一次大洪灾。最后,人类的创造者女娲娘娘炼成五彩巨石,终于修补了天空的漏洞。

Learn Chinese and Chinese Culture in stories|Chinese Idiom | Brotherhood...
The Three Kingdoms is a special period in Chinese history, most of the characters of that times have distinct personalities. Shu was one of kingdoms . The founding monarch of Shu, Liu Bei, was a little guy who made and sold straw shoes for a living before. Liu Bei's success can not be separated from the great help of his two sworn brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.The idiom "Taoyuan Jieyi" tells the story of they became sworn brothers in a peach garden.
三国是中国历史上一个特殊时期,��国时期的人物大多个性鲜明。蜀国是三国时期的一个王国,他们的开国君主刘备以前只是个靠卖草鞋为生的小人物。刘备的发迹离不开他的两个结拜兄弟关羽和张飞的鼎力相助,成语‘桃园结义’讲的就是他们三人结拜为兄弟的故事。
