Cuisines of the north part of China have several characteristics.people in the north tend to eat cooked wheaten food.Or in other words,people eat more food made of flour.This is because the climate here is temperate continental climate,which means there are less rain drops and sunlight.And this climate provides favorable conditions for the growth of wheat.First,When it comes to cooked wheaten food,there is a place many people are familiar with.That is Shanxi(山西).As the saying goes,“east or west,Shanxi cooked wheaten food is best”.Shanxi is famous for its diverse and delicious cooked wheaten food.With a history of 2000years,Shanxi cooked wheaten food is gaining more and more popularity at home and even abroad.Cooked wheaten food in Shanxi,there are round 280 kinds of cooked wheaten food,among which the sliced noodles is the most renowned one.Apart from the sliced noodles刀削面,boiled food also includes hand-pulled noodles拉面,He lao饸饹）Tijian,剔尖Maoerduo猫耳朵,Jiupian(揪片)，which are all delicious and tasty.

京剧脸谱，是具有民族特色的一种特殊的化妆方法。由于每个历史人物或某一种类型的人物都有一种大概的谱式，就像唱歌、奏乐都要按照乐谱一样，所以称为“脸谱”。关于脸谱的来源，一般的说法是来自假面具。
京剧脸谱，是根据某种性格、性情或某种特殊类型的人物为采用某些色彩的。红色有脸谱表示忠勇士义烈，如关羽、姜维、常遇春；黑色的脸谱表示刚烈、正直、勇猛甚至鲁莽，如包拯、张飞、李逵等；黄色的脸谱表示凶狠残暴，如宇文成都、典韦。蓝色或绿色的脸谱表示一些粗豪暴躁的人物，如窦尔敦、马武等；白色的脸谱一般表示奸臣、坏人，如曹操、赵高等。
京剧脸谱的色画方法，基本上分为三类：揉脸、抹脸、勾脸。脸谱最初的作用，只是夸大剧中角色的五官部位和面部的纹理，用夸张的手法表现剧中人的性格、心理和生理上的特征，以此来为整个戏剧的情节服务，可是发展到后来，脸谱由简到繁、由粗到细、由表及里、由浅到深，本身就逐渐成为一种具有民族特色的、以人的面部为表现手段的图案艺术了。
京剧，是中国的传统艺术。它起源于1840年，盛行于20世纪
三、四十年代，是中国的国粹。京剧的伴奏是以二胡等为主，配合演员唱腔、念白、动作、
武打，达到音乐美与舞蹈美的统一。京剧耐人寻味，回味悠长，把各种故事、道理融入一段段表演中，让人在美的享受的同时，得到升华。可是，在节奏日益加快的今天，京剧已被大家渐渐漠视、遗忘。这是让人心疼的事情。我们应该提高对京剧的认识，多多接触传统，让孩子们熟悉它，热爱它，让它重新绽放迷人的生命。

Beijing Opera is a Chinese historial artical opara,which is a combination of singing,saying,dancing and martial art.It’s the quintessence of China.
Peking Opera has a 200-year-long history.Its main melodies originated from Xipi and Erhuang in Anhui and Hubei.
It is believed that Peking Opera gradually came into being after 1790 when the famous four Anhui opera troupes came to Beijing.Peking Opera underwent fast development during the reign of Emperor Qianlong and the notorious Empress Dowager Cixi under the imperial patron,eventually becoming more accessible to the common people.
In ancient times,Peking Opera was performed mostly on stage in the open air,teahouses or temple courtyards.Since the orchestra played loudly,the
performers developed a piercing style of song that could be heard by everyone.The costumes were a garish collection of sharply contrasting colors to stand out on the dim stage illuminated only by oil lamps.Peking Opera is a
harmonious combination of the Grand Opera,ballet and acrobatics,consisting of dance,dialogue,monologues,martial arts and mime.

Pipa(lute)and other instruments.The band usually sits on the left side of the stage.

Qipao(Ch’ipau)is one of the most typical,traditional costumes for Chinese women.Also known as cheongsam,it is like a wonderful flower in the Chinese colorful fashion scene because of its particular charm.
In the early 17th century in North China,Nurhachi,a great political and military strategist,unified the various Nuzhen tribes and set up the Eight Banner System.Later he led his troops into Beijing and overthrew the Ming Dynasty.Over the years,a collarless tube-shaped gown was developed,which was worn by men and women.This is the embryo of the Qipao.It became popular among the royal palace of the Qing Dynasty and the mansions of the Manchu nobility.At that time,it was loosely fitted and long enough to reach the insteps.Usually it was made of silk,and embroidered,with broad laces trimmed at the collar,sleeves and edges.The dress empresses of past dynasties wore them.Their style of dress was regarded as the highest of standards for Chinese women for several thousand years.
The only medium to display the elegance of a human body is an elegant
costume.Whatever costume a woman wears,in addition to magnificence and nobility,she must have a thirst for elegance or beauty.Perhaps that’s the reason why Qipao was born.
In the past,the collar of the costume was made high and tight-fitting to keep warm.Qipao has incorporated this feature,not just for preventing coldness but also for beauty.The collar of Qipao generally takes the shape of a semicircle,its right and left sides being symmetrical,flattering the soft and slender neck of a woman.The collar of Qipao is meticulously made,especially the buttonhole loop on the collar,which serves as the finishing touch.We can’t help but admire the designers’artistic originality.The design of the front of Qipao depicts the maturity of women properly,reminding people of the line of a
Chinese poem’A garden full of the beauty of spring can not be prevented from being enjoyed.’
Qipao generally has two big slits at either side of the hem for convenient
movement and display of the slender legs of women.Unlike a short-length skirt,the slits of Qipao expose a woman’s legs indistinctly when she walks,as if there was a blurred emotional appeal of’enjoying flowers in mist.’
Qipaos can display Chinese women’s modesty,softness and beauty.Like Chinese women’s temperament,Qipaos are elegant and gentle.
Like other costumes,the beauty of Qipao comes first.Simplicity is one of its features from the collar,loop,chest,waist and hips to the lower hem,and a Qipao almost varies with a woman’s figure.It not only lays stress on the natural beauty of a female figure,but also makes women’s legs appear more slender.Mature women in Qipaos can display their graceful refined manner.
Besides its simplicity,Qipao provides designers with vast,creative space:some short,some long,with low,high,or even no collars at all.
Practicality always goes with beauty.Qipaos are worn in both urban and rural areas,its long-standing elegance and serenity making wearers fascinating.
When wearing Qipao,women should pay attention to the match as a whole;particularly middle-aged or elderly women should do so.Hairstyles,jewelry,socks and shoes should match Qipaos properly in color and design.
Today,with the development of the market economy in China,designs or
styles of fashions are so dazzling as the stars that the eye cannot take them all in.As a result,people are often at a loss what to choose when facing the vast sea of fashions.On the other hand,it is just a golden opportunity for Chinese national costumes to regain their popularity.Fashion culture has become a point of intersection of social culture,reflecting economic developments,social progress and educational level.It represents people’s spirit,living standards and aspirations towards beauty.

The cheongsam is a female dress with distinctive Chinese features and enjoys a growing popularity in the international world of high fashion.
The name”cheongsam,”meaning simply”long dress,”entered the English vocabulary from the dialect of China’s Guangdong Province(Cantonese).In other parts of the country including Beijing,however,it is known as”qipao”,which has a history behind it.
When the early Manchu rulers came to China proper,they organized certain people,mainly Manchus,into”banners”(qi)and called them”banner people”(qiren),which then became loosely the name of all Manchus.The Manchu women wore normally a one-piece dress which,likewise,came to be called”qipao”or”banner dress.”Although the 1911 Revolution toppled the rule of the
Qing(Manchu)Dynasty,the female dress survived the political change and,with later improvements,has become the traditional dress for Chinese women.
Easy to slip on and comfortable to wear,the cheongsam fits well the female Chinese figure.Its neck is high,collar closed,and its sleeves may be either short,medium or full length,depending on season and taste.The dress is buttoned on the right side,with a loose chest,a fitting waist,and slits up from the sides,all of which combine to set off the beauty of the female shape.
The cheongsam is not too complicated to make.Nor does it call for too much material,for there are no accessories like belts,scarves,sashes or frills to go with it.
Another beauty of the cheongsam is that,made of different materials and to varying lengths,they can be worn either on casual or formal occasions.In either case,it creates an impression of simple and quiet charm,elegance and neatness.No wonder it is so much liked by women not only of China but of foreign countries as well.

中国传统文化之我见
中华民族历史源远流长，传统文化博大精深，它足以使中国人、海外华人引以荣耀和自豪，它是中华民族的重要凝聚力；另一方面，近代落伍了的中国正在现代化，虽然中国人的思想观念，思维、行为和生活方式都在发生着重大的变化，中国文化也在全方位地转换和发展，但是这种转换和发展本身就是从传统开始的。中国传统文化作为一种文化形态，本身具
备文化科学价值。
在中国传统文化教育中的阴阳五行哲学思想、儒家伦理道德观念、中医营养摄生学说，还有文化艺术成就、饮食审美风尚、民族性格特征诸多因素的影响下，创造出彪炳史册的中国烹饪技艺，形成博大精深的中国饮食文化。
从沿革看，中国饮食文化绵延170多万年，分为生食、熟食、自然烹饪、科学烹饪4个发展阶段，推出6万多种传统菜点、2万多种工业食品、五光十色的筵宴和流光溢彩的风味流派，获得“烹饪王国”的美誉。
从内涵上看，中国饮食文化涉及到食源的开发与利用、食具的运用与创新、食品的生产与消费、餐饮的服务与接待、餐饮业与食品业的经营与管理，以及饮食与国泰民安、饮食与文学艺术、饮食与人生境界的关系等，深厚广博。
外延看，中国饮食文化可以从时代与技法、地域与经济、民族与宗教、食品与食具、消费与层次、民俗与功能等多种角度进行分类，展示出不同的文化品味，体现出不同的使用价值，异彩纷呈.
从特质看，中国饮食文化突出养助益充的营卫论（素食为主，重视药膳和进补），并且讲究“色、香、味”俱全。五味调和的境界说（风味鲜明，适口者珍，有“舌头菜”之誉），奇正互变的烹调法（厨规为本，灵活变通），畅神怡情的美食观（文质彬彬，寓教于食）等4大属性，有着不同于海外各国饮食文化的天生丽质。
从影响看，中国饮食文化直接影响到日本、蒙古、朝鲜、韩国、泰国、新加坡等国家，是东方饮食文化圈的轴心；与此同时，它还间接影响到欧洲、美洲、非洲和大洋洲，像中国的素食文化、茶文化、酱醋、面食、药膳、陶瓷餐具和大豆等，都惠及全世界数十亿人。
总之，中国饮食文化是一种广视野、深层次、多角度、高品位的悠久区域文化；是中华各族人民在100多万年的生产和生活实践中，在食源开发、食具研制、食品调理、营养保健和饮食审美等方面创造、积累并影响周边国家和世界的物质财富及精神财富。
中国是文明是国，亦是悠久饮食文化之境地。现将饮食文化归纳出以下几个特点：
第一，风味多样。由于我国幅员辽阔，地大物博，各地气候、物产、风俗习惯都存在着差异，长期以来，在饮食上也就形成了许多风味。我国一直就有‘南米北面’的说法，口味上有‘南甜北咸东酸西辣’之分，主要是巴蜀、齐鲁、淮扬、粤闽四大风味。
第二，四季有别。一年四季，按季节而吃，是中国烹饪又一大特征。自古以来，我国一直按季节变化来调味、配菜，冬天味醇浓厚，夏天清淡凉爽；冬天多炖焖煨，夏天多凉拌冷冻。
第三，讲究美感。中国的烹饪，不仅技术精湛，而且有讲究菜肴美感的传统，注意食物的色、香、味、形、器的协调一致。对菜肴美感的表现是多方面的，无论是个红萝卜，还是一个白菜心，都可以雕出各种造型，独树一帜，达到色、香、味、形、美的和谐统一，给人以精神和物质高度统一的特殊享受。
第四，注重情趣。我国烹饪很早就注重品味情趣，不仅对饭菜点心的色、香、味有严格的要求，而且对它们的命名、品味的方式、进餐时的节奏、娱乐的穿插等都有一定的要求。中国菜肴的名称可以说出神入化、雅俗共赏。菜肴名称既有根据主、辅、调料及烹调方法的写实命名，也有根据历史掌故、神话传说、名人食趣、菜肴形象来命名的，如‘全家福’、‘将军过桥’、‘狮子头’、‘叫化鸡’、‘龙凤呈祥’、‘鸿门宴’、‘东坡肉’……
第五，食医结合。我国的烹饪技术，与医疗保健有密切的联系，在几千年前有‘医食同源’和‘药膳同功’的说法，利用食物原料的药用价值，做成各种美味佳肴，达到对某些疾病防治的目的。”
这便是我对中国饮食文化的见解。
