3. Artistic The Chinese have many forms of art. These include drawings, paintings, pottery, plays and other shows. When the Ming family ruled China, the most detailed and valuable porcelain vases in the world were made. The Chinese invented a style of painting were you blow out of a paint-filled straw. This sprays paint streaks across your paper. In the streets you might see plays and dances where people dressed in colorful costumes act out stories and tales.

4. Economics China has more workers than any other country, 700 000 000! That’s 23 times more people working than there are people living in Canada. Their main jobs are mining, farming, building and making technology.

5. Politics For a long time only one person would rule China. They were called an emperor. The people would be treated like garbage. In the early 1900’s China switched to Communism. The people still weren’t treated very well, but they are slowly getting more freedom like us.

6. Kinship Chinese people are only allowed to have one kid in the family. Everyone in the house has a responsibility. Adults have jobs and help with the neighborhood and the kids feed the chickens and pigs after school. City kids have to clean the streets.

7. Religion The government of China discourages religion, but you won’t get in trouble if you’re religious. The main religions are: Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism.

8. Entertainment The Chinese do many things for fun. One of them is cricket fighting. Two bugs go in a bowl and kill each other. It is a very weird game. They also play mah jong, an ancient card game. They also play ‘kick-the-bag’. Over here it’s hacky sack.

9. Education For a long time there were hardly any schools in the villages. Kids had to work on farms so rural kids usually didn’t go to school. Farmer schools were usually small and had poor equipment. In the past few years a lot of effort has been put in to improve education in China.
