1. Tecnology in china?

The history of science and technology in China is both long and rich with many contributions to science and technology. In antiquity, independently of Greek philosophers and other civilizations, ancient Chinese philosophers made significant advances in science, technology, mathematics, and astronomy. The first recorded observations of comets, solar eclipses, and supernovae were made in China. Traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture and herbal medicine were also practiced.

Among the earliest inventions were the abacus, the "shadow clock," and the first flying machines such as kites and Kongming lanterns. The four

Great Inventions of ancient China:

The compass, gunpowder, papermaking, and printing, were among the most important technological advances, only known in Europe by the end of the Middle Ages. The Tang Dynasty (AD 618 - 906) in particular, was a time of great innovation. A good deal of exchange occurred between Western and Chinese discoveries up to the Qing Dynasty.

The Jesuit China missions of the 16th and 17th centuries introduced Western science and astronomy, then undergoing its own revolution, to China, and knowledge of Chinese technology was brought to Europe. Much of the early Western work in the history of science in China was done by Joseph Needham.

Inventions from China include:

Acupuncture

• Anesthetic - third century found a wine that acted like anesthetic, and they also used herbs before the age of written history
• Astronomy - Planetarium - They produced the first planetarium, which was actually made by an emperor. The planetarium was a big enclosed place with stars and constellations on the inside. The person using the planetarium would sit in a chair that was hanging from the top of the enclosed dome.
• Astrology - Chinese astrology and constellations were often used for divination
• Bamboo - They made most toys, machines, houses, and other things from bamboo.
• Blast Furnace - which was water powered
• Block Printmaking / Printing Technology
• Clocks - The first clock that they devised was for astronomical uses. In the first clock ever, there was a puppet that would hold up a plaque that would tell the time. They also invented giant water clocks, which rang every fifteen minutes.
• Compass - was for religious use. When a new houses was being built, the used it to see if the house was faced in perfect harmony with nature (which meant they thought if you faced your house to magnetic north, you and nature would get along). The compass started out as a wooden circle with markings on it, and a magnetic spoon on top.

Crossbow

• Earthquakes - Designed with a machine called the Earthquake weathercock, which was a contraption that told them when and where an earthquake would come. This machine looked like a giant six-foot bronze pot that had dragon heads lining the top, and ivory frogs under each dragon.
• Fan - which was mostly carried by women and soldiers. Most of the fans were made out of bamboo and silk. The fan was basically many bamboo spines sticking out in almost a half circle with silk wrapped around it.
• Fireworks - invented in the T'ang dynasty. These were originally for shows, but later on they used them to scare of enemies in war. The fireworks were mainly small bamboo cases filled with gunpowder, and a fuse was put on the side.

Glider

• Harness - revolutionized agriculture by harnessing animals
• Hot Air Balloon
• Iron casting around the sixth century, when they mixed tin and copper together.
• Kites - which mostly children played with. The kites were most of the time silk squares, held together by bamboo. Created many things with bamboo, which made a lot of baskets and holders and were really strong.

Lacquer

• Mathematics - They invented the Asian Abacus. The main applications of mathematics in traditional China were architecture and geography. Pi was calculated by 5th century mathematician Zu Chongzhi to the seventh digit. The decimal system was used in China as early as 14 Century BC. "Pascal's" Triangle was discovered by mathematician Liu Ju-Hsieh, long before Pascal was born.

2.-Technology in japan?

Electronics

Japan is well known for its automotive and electronics industries throughout the world, and Japanese electronic products account for a large share in the world market, compared to a majority of other countries. Japan is one of the leading nations in the fields of scientific research, technology, machinery and medical research with the world's third largest budget for research and development at $130 billion USD, and over 677,731 researchers. Japan has received the most science Nobel prizes in Asia.
Japan has large international corporate conglomerates such as Fuji (which developed the nation's first electronic computer, FUJIC, in 1956) and Sony. Sony, Panasonic, Canon, Fujitsu, Hitachi, Sharp, NEC, Epson and Toshiba are among the most well-known electronics companies in the world. Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Nintendo, Sony and Subaru are also very well known companies in the world.

Transportation and robots

Some of Japan's more important technological contributions are found in the fields of electronics, machinery, robotics, optics, chemicals, semiconductors and metals. Japan leads the world in robotics, possessing more than half (402,200 of 742,500) of the world's industrial robots used for manufacturing. It also produced QRIO, ASIMO, and Aibo. Japan is also home to six of the world's fifteen largest automobile manufacturers and seven of the world's twenty largest semiconductor sales leaders. Japan is also considered to have one of the most advanced trains, notably the Shinkansen and maglev trains. In 2003, the maglev MLX01 reached 581 km/h. This is the fastest record achieved by a maglev as well as a fastest train, slightly beating France's TGV attempt in 2007 (by about 7 km/h).

Aeronautics

Japan has also made headway into aerospace research and space exploration. The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) conducts space and planetary research, aviation research, and development of rockets and satellites. It has developed a series of rockets, the latest and the most powerful of which is H-IIB. H-IIA/B rockets which have the capability of carrying 8-ton payload to the GTO at maximum are now managed by the private-own company Mitsubishi Heavy Industry. It also built the Japanese Experiment Module, which was launched and added to the International Space Station during Space Shuttle assembly flights in 2007 and 2008 and the HTV to transfer payloads to the station in 2009.

4. What is the dragon culture?

Chinese dragons are legendary creatures in Chinese mythology and folklore, with mythic counterparts among Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Bhutanese, Western and Turkic dragons. In Chinese art, dragons are typically portrayed as long, scaled, serpentine creatures with four legs. In yin and yang terminology, a dragon is yang and complements a yin fenghuang "Chinese phoenix".

Some films with political overtones are still censored or banned in China itself. However, most of these films are allowed to be shown abroad in commercially distributed theaters or in film festivals.
Currently, the vast majority of the Mainland-produced movies uses Standard Mandarin. Mainland films are often dubbed into Cantonese when exported to Hong Kong for theatrical runs.

The Matsuri (祭) is the Japanese word for a festival or holiday. In Japan, festivals are usually sponsored by a local shrine or temple, though they can be secular.There is no specific matsuri days for all of Japan; dates vary from area to area, and even within a specific area, but festival days do tend to cluster around traditional holidays such as Setsubun or Obon. Almost every locale has at least one matsuri in late summer/early autumn, usually related to the rice harvest.

8.-Why japanese use chinese sticks?

Chopsticks are small tapered sticks used in pairs of equal length as the traditional eating utensils of Greater China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam and Northern provinces of Laos, Thailand and Burma. Generally believed to have originated in ancient China, they can also be found in some areas of Tibet and Nepal that are close to Han Chinese populations. Chopsticks are most commonly made of bamboo or plastic, but are also made of metal, bone, ivory, and various types of wood.

10.-Why they don´t use shoes in their houses?

Because those shoes were worn outdoors and are dirty. In order to keep indoors clean, people take their shoes off at the front of the house. No, they don't bring it into a bedroom. East Asians are not the only ones who do this. Indians, Arabs, and Africans also don't wear their shoes indoor and it's considered offensive for someone to wear shoes inside their house. I think it's only Westerners (including Australians) and Europeans who wear shoes indoor. I haven't heard of one culture other than those who do wear shoes indoor.

1. How was the principal church in chinese culture?

China is a country with a great diversity of religious beliefs. The main religions are Buddhism, Taoism, Islam, Catholicism and Protestantism. Citizens of China may freely choose and express their religious beliefs, and make clear their religious affiliations. According to incomplete statistics, there are over 100 million followers of various religious faiths, more than 85,000 sites for religious activities, some 300,000 clergy and over 3,000 religious organizations throughout China.

Buddhism has a history of 2,000 years in China. Currently China has 13,000-some Buddhist temples and about 200,000 Buddhist monks and nuns. Among them are 120,000 lamas and nuns, more than 1,700 Living Buddhas, and 3,000-some temples of Tibetan Buddhism and nearly 10,000 Bhiksu and senior monks and more than 1,600 temples of Pali Buddhism.

-Taoism, native to China, has a history of more than 1,700 years. China now has over 1,500 Taoist temples and more than 25,000 Taoist priests and nuns.

-Islam was introduced into China in the seventh century. Nowadays in China there are ten national minorities, including the Hui and Uygur, with a total population of 18 million, whose faith is Islam. Their 30,000-odd mosques are served by 40,000 Imams and Akhunds.

3. In which situations they use the kimono?

It was during the 8th century, however, that Chinese fashions came into style among the Japanese, and the overlapping collar became particularly a women's fashion. During Japan's Heian period (794–1192 CE), the kimono became increaslingly stylized, though one still wore a half-apron, called a mo, over it. During the Muromachi age (1392-1573 CE), the Kosode, a single kimono formerly considered underwear, began to be worn without the hakama (trousers, divided skirt) over it, and thus began to be held closed by an obi "belt". During the Edo period (1603-1867 CE), the sleeves began to grow in length, especially among unmarried women, and the Obi became wider, with various styles of tying coming into fashion.Since then, the basic shape of both the men’s and women’s kimono has remained essentially unchanged. Kimonos made with exceptional skill from fine materials have been regarded as great works of art.

4. Do the japanese man have a special dress?

Most Japanese men only wear the kimono at home or in a very laid back environment, however it is acceptable for a man to wear the kimono when he is entertaining guests in his home. For a more formal event a Japanese man might wear the haori and hakama, a half coat and divided skirt. The hakama is tied at the waist, over the kimono and ends near the ankle. Hakama were initially intended for men only, but today it is acceptable for women to wear them as well. Hakama can be worn with types of kimono, excluding the summer version, yukata. The lighter and simpler casual-wear version of kimono often worn in summer or at home is called yukata.

5. Did they have all their ancestors in a sanctuary or something like that?

The number of ancestors to whom offerings are presented varies with the occasion, the locality, and the family. Normally male and female ancestors to the third generation receive tendance; sometimes to the fourth and fifth generations
The forms of Chinese ancestor worship are simple, for the rites constitute a family meal in which the dead share. Food and drink are placed on the table before the tablets of the deceased, and at a later hour, or on the following day, after the spirits have enjoyed the soul or essence of the offerings, all the members of the family (or clan) eat and drink what remains. [At the clan sacrifices only men are present.]
The presentation of the offerings is accompanied by an invitation to the departed to partake and by the prostrations which, for the Chinese, constitute the natural method of expressing reverence for parents or superiors. Candles and incense are usually burned as symbolical of invitation and to attract the attention of the spirits. When the sacrifice is presented on some special occasion, announcement is made at the same time of whatever event has prompted the ceremony. The nearest approach to prayer appears to be made on the most important occasions [37/38] when the ancestors are greeted with praise and requested to receive the offerings and to bestow their blessing.

6. What was the dress japanese wear?

The kimono, or Kosode, as it was originally called, evolved over a millennium from a style similar to an ancient Chinese robe  into a uniquely Japanese garment.  For a person of Japanese heritage, the kimono signifies and reaffirms fundamental Japanese cultural values.  Through subtle variations in style and materials the kimono communicates personal and social messages of gender, status, and aesthetics.

7. Do japanese use chairs in the dining room?

Yes, because they didnt have tables in their country. Japan was cut off from the world for a while. Its now a tradition for the traditional japanese people.

8. Japanese women can choose with whom they want married?

In Japan, marriage law requires that married couples share a surname because they must belong to the same koseki (household). Although it is customary for the wife to join her husband's family and thus take his surname, the husband may instead join his wife's family and take her surname. The latter is customary if the wife is the last of her family, particularly if her lineage has some significance. Eldest sons are more likely to keep their family names than younger sons. Though uncommon, foreign men who marry Japanese women may choose to join their wife's koseki and take her surname. An example of this is Koizumi Yakumo, (born Lafcadio Hearn), a Greek-born Irishman who took his Japanese wife's name. (Non-Japanese citizen's are listed only on a person's koseki to verify marriage. Name changes are not recorded and the foreign citizen is listed as spouse but not part of the family registration. Foreign citizens have a separate registration. The foreign citizen is governed by his/her own country's laws.)

9. What was the more practice sport?
Aikido originated in Japan after World War II. The founder Ueshiba Morihei learned many old Japanese martial arts. After the war he was shocked at the news of the atomic bomb and recognized military power or martial arts shouldn't be used for fighting each other. He changed his lesson to lead us peacefully by practicing Aikido. Now millions of people practice it all over the world.
In Aikido we usually exercise in pairs. We practice grabbing or twisting some body joints and throwing or pinning our partner to the mat. Every technique teaches us self defense. Those who practice will learn some techniques without needing physical strength.

Four Great Inventions:

• Paper: Although it is recorded that the Han Dynasty (202 BC–AD 220) court eunuch Cai Lun (b.c.50–AD 121) invented the pulp papermaking process and established the use of new raw materials used in making paper, ancient padding and wrapping paper artifacts dating to the 2nd century BC have been found in China, the oldest example of pulp papermaking being a map from Fangmatan, Tianshui.
• Printing:
• Woodblock printing: The earliest specimen of woodblock printing a single-sheet dharani sutra in Sanskrit that was printed on hemp paper between 650 and 670 AD; it was unearthed in 1974 from a Tang tomb near Xi'an.
• Movable type: The polymath scientist and official Shen Kuo (1031–1095) of the Song Dynasty (960–1279) was the first to describe the process of movable type printing in his Dream Pool Essays of 1088, attributing this innovation to a little-known artisan named Bi Sheng (990–1051).
• Effects on bookbinding: The advent of printing in the 9th century revolutionized bookbinding, as late Tang Dynasty paper books evolved from rolled scrolls of paper into folded leaves like a pamphlet, which developed further in the Song Dynasty (960–1279) into 'butterfly' bindings with leaves of paper folded down the center like a common book, then during the Yuan Dynasty (1271–1368) wrapped back bindings had two edges of the leaves attached to the spine and secured with a stiff paper cover on the back, and during the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644) books finally had thread-stitched bindings in the back.
• Gunpowder: Evidence of gunpowder's first use in China comes from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms Period. (618–907). The earliest known recorded recipes for gunpowder were written by Zeng Gongliang, Ding Du, and Yang Weide in the Wujing Zongyao, a military manuscript compiled in 1044 during the Song Dynasty (960–1279).
• Compass: Although an ancient hematite artifact from the Olmec era in Mexico dating roughly 1000 BC indicates the possible use of the lodestone compass long before it was described in China, the Olmecs did not have iron which the Chinese would discover could be magnetized by contact with lodestone 
  

5.-What religious practices the Japanese?

Most Japanese people do not exclusively identify themselves as adherents of a single religion; rather, they incorporate elements of various religions in a syncretic fashion known as Shinbutsu shūgō (神仏習合).
Japan grants full religious freedom, allowing minority religions such as Christianity, Islam and Sikhism to be practiced. Figures that state 84% to 96% of Japanese adhere to Shinto and Buddhism are not based on self-identification but come primarily from birth records, following a longstanding practice of officially associating a family line with a local Buddhist temple or Shinto shrine.
About 70 percent of Japanese profess no religious membership, according to Johnstone (1993:323), 84% of the Japanese claim no personal religion. And according to Demerath (2001:138), 64% do not believe in God, and 55% do not believe in Buddha.
Japanese streets are decorated on Tanabata, Obon and Christmas.

6.-Who was the first government in Japan?

The earliest emperor recorded in Kojiki and Nihon Shoki is Emperor Jimmu. The key to knowing the origin of the Japanese imperial line may lie within the ancient imperial tombs known as kofun. However, since the Meiji period, the Imperial Household Agency has refused to open the kofun to the public or to archaeologists, citing their desire not to disturb the spirits of the past emperors as justification for their refusal. But in December 2006, the Imperial Household Agency reversed its position and decided to allow researchers to enter some of the kofun with no restrictions.

7.-Which is the name of book that talks about all cultural of China?

4.-Why do the women kill themselves that much ?

According to a report in the British medical journal the Lancet last year, suicide is China's fifth biggest killer, with women and girls most at risk. It reported that China is one of the few countries in the world where the female suicide rate is higher than it is for males.

First of all, in ancient times Roman gladiators killed and were killed for people's pleasure and their own glory, because people did not have the same respect for human life that they do today. Similarly, throughout Chinese history, there has been a culture of people killing themselves for the pleasure and honour of their family and for their own glory, for women to prove their honesty and, often, true love. This culture persists in many parts of China today, particularly in the rural areas of the south-west.

Secondly, quite a number of Chinese women would rather give up their lives than suffer from "not being a good woman", according to the Chinese traditional role. For generations, having a good, clean name has been more important than human life itself. This is doubly true in the impoverished countryside, where, apart from housework, the importance of reputation is often the only thing they are taught.

9.-What do they dress ?

Each dynasty in China had its own memorable culture. The many facets of color and design that emerged during a dynasty's reign were marvelous and made every aspect of Chinese culture, including their wearing apparel, which were highly acclaimed works of art.
Qin and Han Dynasties

During the Qin and Han dynasties, changes in the style of dress were dramatic. The Emperor Qin, who was influenced by the concept of Yin and Yang as well as the theory of the Five Elements, believed that the Qin dynasty would subdue the Zhou dynasty like water extinguishes fire. Therefore, because the Zhou dynasty was "fire superior to gold, its color being red," the favorite color of the Qin dynasty was black, since the color black was associated with water. Thus, in the Qin dynasty, black was the superior color to symbolize the power of water, so clothing and adornments were all of the color black.

The Tang Dynasty

The Tang Dynasty was the most thriving, prosperous, splendid, and glorious period of ancient Chinese culture and art. The style of women's clothing during the Tang dynasty is the most outstanding in China's history. Tang dynasty attire had many different styles, and was ever changing, which enabled the look of the Tang dynasty style to remain elegant, noble and poised, and forever unique and amazing. The costumes of the Tang dynasty are like exotic flowers in Chinese history. The quality of the material was particularly fine and delicate, and the decorations lustrous.
Song Dynasty
Song Dynasty clothing can be divided into three categories of style. One was designed for the empress, the noble concubines, and females of all levels of "government uses"; another style called "formal clothes" was for ordinary people; and one style was casual for daily use.

The Yuan Dynasty
In the Yuan dynasty, "Zhi Sun dresses" were popular. All government officials wore them to attend feasts inside the palace. Musicians and bodyguards also wore them. This kind of clothing was worn by all classes of people, and could be made from materials of varying weight and quality.

The Ming Dynasty

The Ming Dynasty female upper clothes were three collars with narrow sleeves. The body height was over three feet, revealing the skirt only two to three inches, the so-called "Flower hat, skirt clothes with big sleeves and round collars". The skirt installs often used light colored fabrics in early Ming Dynasty. Pleated skirts were extremely popular. The Ming dynasty also had one special kind of cape. Because of its beautiful shape, it was called "pink cloud cape."

The Qing Dynasty

Manchurian-style clothing with short narrow sleeves was the popular mode of dress in the Qing dynasty. The style was slender and rectangular in form. The saddle-shaped collar was large enough to cover a person's cheeks and protect the face. The entire garment, which was not lined, was cut straight from top to bottom and did not have a waist. The box-like look of Qing dynasty clothing presented a solemn, slightly arrogant image that commanded respect. It was quite unique.

10.-The history of mulan is true ?

It is based on an old Chinese folktake, the story of Hua Mulan, which is a story of a young girly who serves in the army in place of her ailing father. The legend has been changed many times to suit the time period that it is being told in. For example, in the 4th century, the stroy had China being invaded by the Xiongnu Khanate. 1000 years later, it is being invaded by Manchu's. So, I suppose the answer is a yes, though the story is actually not factual but a legend.
Actually its sort of a legend but it definitely true story. She fought for years and the emperor came to her house and saw she was a women

First, almost people of today are keeping irregularity hours. So some young people take to misconduct. For example, some young people under twenty are smoking or drinking liquor at night. And some people have drug addiction. It’s very fearful. Second problem is lifestyle-related illnesses. Before 1990′s, lifestyle-related illenesses is called adult diseases. But in recent years, many young people come down with cancer, heart trouble, apoplexy. So it is became called lifestyle related illenesses. These diseases are killing many more people. Third problem is people can’t write many kanji. Recent years almost people can use computer and cell phone. So many people don’t write letters, reports, and many things by handwriting. Therefore, people can’t write many kanji. I think these problems are dangerous for Japanese future.

5.       Which is the best job in Japan?

Teaching English in Japan  : "For decades, North Americans have been tempted to spend a year or two working in Japan, where English commands an almost reverential respect. The demand for language tuition remains strong in Japan, although recession in the late 1990s resulted in the closure of some major companies when fewer Japanese people were willing to pay for expensive English lessons. Consequently, competition for teaching jobs in Japan has become more acute. Be prepared to spend a sizeable sum of money while conducting the job hunt because of the high cost of living in Japanese cities. But many people persevere because of their commitment to an extended stay in Japan and also because of the potential earnings.

Official Chinese Holidays

New Year's Day (January 1)

Not as much celebrated as it is in other parts of the world because it is overshadowed by the upcoming Chinese New Year somewhere a month away. However, employees will enjoy a paid day-off. And there will be parties everywhere, in parks, dancing halls and universities where students will leave for the winter vacation.

 

International Women's Day (March 8)

Interestingly, women employees will get a whole or an half paid day-off on the day while the men are at the mercy of their employers.

 

Tree-Planting Day (April 1)

Highly promoted since the late 70's by the reformist government and yet to become established. It marks the beginning of a greening campaign all over the country during the month each year.

 

International Labor Day (May 1)

No less celebrated than the New Year's Day. Employees will enjoy a paid day-off. Celebration parties in parks took the place of parades today.

 

Youth Day (May 4)

A day in memory of the first mass student movement in 1919, a movement touched off by the then Chinese government that gave in to the Japanese government's attempt to colonize Shandong Province. It is also an anti-Confucius movement as well as one that promoted the western scientific and democratic ideas. Government organized youth activities everywhere in the country today characterizes the celebration of this day.

 

Children's Day (June 1)

It is the most memorable day of Chinese kids all over the country. Almost all entertainment places such as cinemas, parks and children museums and palaces are open free to them. Elementary schools throw celebration parties while parents shower them with presents.

 

The CCP's Birthday (July 1)

It marked the founding of the Chinese Communist Party in 1921 in Shanghai. It is usually characterized by front page editorials from major government newspapers.

 

Army's Day (August 1)

A communist-led nationalist army staged the first armed uprising in Chinese communist history against the Nationalists on August 1, 1927. It was regarded as the beginning of the Red Army (later the People's Liberation Army). Now the anniversary is often used to promote better relationships between the army and civilians, a tradition believed to have helped it beat the Nationalists during the civil war in 1949.

 

Teacher's Day (September 1)

It was started in the early eighties as an effort to reverse the anti-intellectual sentiment nurtured by the "Cultural Revolution". It is yet to become an established holiday.

 

National Day (October 1)

It is the anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949 in the wake of routing the Nationalists who have since taken refuge in Taiwan. There used to be grand parades squares of major cities of the country. Now celebrations usually take the form of parties in amusement parks by day and fire-works and grand TV ensembles during the evening. Employees enjoy two paid days-off. It is also a good occasion for many people to take a short excursion to enjoy the beauty of the golden Fall.

8.       Which is the biggest natural disaster that has passed in China?

The LiveScience website has a list of what it says are the "15 worst disasters of all time."

Unfortunately, I found a problem with the list right off the bat. It doesn't include the 2008 Sichuan , China earthquake which killed 87,587 people. In any event, even with that oversight, I pass the list along since it includes some ancient disasters worth knowing about, like the Shaanzi, China earthquake of 1556 which is said to have killed 830,000 people.

 

9.       What was the latest dynasty in China?
The Qing Dynasty (Chinese: 清朝;) The dynasty was founded by the Manchu clan Aisin Gioro in what is today northeast China (also known as Manchuria). Starting in 1644 it expanded into China proper and its surrounding territories, establishing the Empire of the Great Qing

10.   Which is the religion of Japanese people?

Shinto and Buddhism are Japan's two major religions. They have been co-existing for several centuries and have even complemented each other to a certain degree. Most Japanese consider themselves Buddhist, Shintoist or both. Religion does not play a big role in the everyday life of most Japanese people today. The average person typically follows the religious rituals at ceremonies like birth, weddings and funerals, may visit a shrine or temple on New Year and participates at local festivals (matsuri), most of which have a religious background.
