The Chinese had a
very strong sense of culture. In fact,
calligraphy, poetry, and painting were considered
"The Three Perfections" in Ancient China, and were
said to be "The height of artistic
expression".
Art
The Shang
people made many things from bronze. They made
molds out of pottery and poured in molten bronze.
When the bronze cooled they broke the mold away.
They were the first to make weapons such as knives
and spears which were made out of bronze.
Chinese New Year
Chinese
New Year was (and still is) a time of excitement
for the Chinese people. Although the famed
Dragon Dance did not come until the Song Dynasty
(960-1279 AD), the Chinese had many unique ways of
celebrating the festival. Like the Lion
Dance, a sort of toned-down version of the Dragon
Dance. The Lion Dance involved less people
but is still a beautiful sight.
