The Chinese Language: Where to Study?
China - the ancient state located in the Central and East Asia. The name "China" - China - has occurred from an English word cha - tea. Here just all errors about the Chinese civilization also begin. Everything that was objectionable to colonizers from England and America, they named exotic. Therefore in the world were the blanket of customs, traditions and culture of this country is known only, the wisdom of the people which have been saved up throughout several centuries, was accessible to studying only sinologam.
Anything practically has not changed and now. Only small circle of experts and, to some extent, fans of oriental combat sports are familiar with works of the well-known Chinese thinkers and philosophers.
Theories on which the Chinese philosophy is based, completely differ from the western theories. They have been generated taking into account a practicality. So, for example, such science as the Hair dryer-shuj. The considerable quantity of people takes a great interest in it now. And this science is based all on the same base theories of the Chinese philosophy. These are theories of In-Jan, Ba-gua, u-sin, the theory 10 heavenly trunks, the theory 12 terrestrial branches. The basic theories of the Chinese philosophy are used in the course of trainings of fighting arts, in medicine, in the mathematician etc.
The Chinese civilization is unique almost in every respect. Here, for example, hieroglyphs, as well as all other ancient letters, have occurred from pictures. But all other people have passed then to the alphabet, and Chineses are not present. The Chinese literature differs from all other themes that in it ancient manuscripts in which the history of China throughout five centuries is described were saved.
And any culture in the world has no such influence of the ancestors on a spiritual life of the country, as the Chinese culture. All culture, and philosophy of China are united by one general principle - continuity.
