Any questions about ancient China. If the Chinese had no source of natural jade, where they find their jade?
Jade refers two materials different Nephrite jade and jadeite jade. There is a source of jade in China. Almost all jadeite imported into China is now the Myanmar (Burma). In fact, until now, the only known source of coveted Imperial Jade (Green and Lavender) is Burma. Jadeite is relatively "new" when it was discovered in the late 17th to 18th century and popularized during the Qing (Ching) dynasty under the reign of Emperor Qian Long. Furthermore, the jade jade was known, respected and used in China more than 5000 years. It is even today called the real stone from the sky in Chinese. The principal source of jade are desired Chinese East Turkistan (province of Xin Jiang). East Turkestan covers 1.6 million kilometers square, now a sixth of Chinese territory. Located in Central Asia, is bordered by Kazakhstan to the north, northern Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan in the northwest and west. This is where the famous are Kunlun Mountains. As in ancient times, the variety of meats fat white Nephrite jade is more appreciated. Rare colors like yellow, dark green, black and purple, bright red, etc. as well as artistic sculptures, among including two sculptures of color (usually white and caramel brown) are also valuable. I hope that helps!

Chinese Astrology $9.99 This comprehensive guide will help you explore Chinese astrology, understand personality trends and discover compatibility with other signs in love, business and partnership. Audience. Intended for everyone interested Chinese Astrology. Ruling hours for each sign. Compatibility with other sighs. Famous people and more… Always have the guide available for a quick reference. Description of a RAT sign:. RAT. 1900, 1912, 1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008. Personality:. According to Chinese folklore, this sign can be quite complex and people who are born under this Chinese sign possess strong leadership skills and are intelligent, charismatic, artistic, charming, persuasive, attractive, generous to loved ones, and ambitious. On the negative side, rats can be exploitive, dangerous, dreamy, deviant, selfish, cunning, psychotic(rats tend towards mental instability), lustful, stubborn, manipulative, frail, and vain. Rats are a symbol of good luck and wealth. They are clever, lustful, and intelligent. This sign is very ambitious and strong-willed, and is motivated by its own interests, which often include money and power. Rats are naturally charming, seductive and persuasive. They are energetic and versatile and can usually find their way around obstacles, and adapt to various environments easily. A rat”s natural charm and sharp demeanor make it an appealing friend for almost anyone. The Rat likes to know who is on its side and will treat its most loyal friends with an extra measure of protection and generosity. However, they also have long memories and will rarely forgive or forget an enemy. Rats are strongly family oriented. Although they are often hoarders and can be miserly, they also are very generous to their family and friends. Rats have a great capability for accumulating and holding on to items of value. A valuable lesson for Rats is to learn to consider others below themselves, at least sometimes, and to avoid forcing their ideas onto others. Rats are fair in their dealings and do not expect the same from others in return, and can be deeply affronted if they feel they have been deceived or that their trust has been abused. Sometimes they set their targets too low, whether in relationship to their friends or in their career, but as the years pass they will become more idealistic and tolerant. If they can develop their sense of self and realize it leaves room for others in their life as well, Rats can find true happiness. In middle age, if everything goes smoothly, Rats will be able to achieve their life goals. Ideal jobs for rats include detective, artist, musician, spy, writer, lawyer, broker, politician, psychiatrist, pathologist, and crime laboratory scientist. Attributes:. Ruling hours: 11pm-1am. North. Season and month: Winter, December. Gemstone: Garnet. Roughly equivalent western sign: Sagittarius. Polarity: Yang. Countries: Germany, Austria, Netherlands, Brazil, Sweden, Colombia. Compatible: Dragon, Monkey, Ox. or les |

The Chinese $19 In The Chinese, Jasper Becker, China's premier western correspondent, strips the country of its myths and captures the Chinese as they really live. For nearly two decades Becker has lived in China, and reported from areas where most visitors do not reach. Here he is at his most candid, reporting from all over the country: from tiny, crowded homes in the swollen cities of the southeast rim to a vast, secret network of thousands of defense bunkers in the northwest. He exposes Chinese society in all of its layers: from remote, illiterate peasants; to the rising classes of businessmen; to local despots; the twenty grades of Party apparatchicks; to the dominant, comparatively small caste of Party leaders who are often ignorant of the people they rule. Becker lets the Chinese speak for themselves, in voices that are rich and moving. He teaches a great deal about the magnitude–and the false face–of China's vaunted economic boom, and further shows the pervasive institutionalized crime that has risen out of economic poverty. In all, Becker reveals a China very different than our long-held assumptions depict. The Chinese is the hidden story of people of the world's largest nation–a nation so poorly understood and so vital to the future. |

Learning Chinese, Turning Chinese $44.95 In this book Edward McDonald takes a fresh look at issues of language in Chinese studies. He takes the viewpoint of the university student of Chinese with the ultimate goal of becoming ‘sinophone’: that is, developing a fluency and facility at operating in Chinese-language contexts comparable to their own mother tongue. While the entry point for most potential sinophones is the Chinese language classroom, the kinds of “language” and “culture” on offer there are rarely questioned, and the links between the forms of the language and the situations in which they may be used are rarely drawn. The author’s explorations of Chinese studies illustrate the crucial link between becoming sinophone and developing a sinophone identity learning Chinese and turning Chinese. Including chapters on: relating text to context in learning Chinese the social and political contexts of language learning myths about Chinese characters language reform and nationalism in modern China critical discourse analysis of popular culture ethnicity and identity in language learning. This book will be invaluable for all Chinese language students and teachers, and those with an interest in Chinese linguistics, linguistic anthropology, critical discourse analysis, and language education. Edward McDonald is currently Lecturer in Chinese at the University of Auckland, and has taught Chinese language, music, linguistics and semiotics at universities in Australia, China, and Singapore. |
