Dizi 笛子 (flute) is the oldest Han musical instrument discovered so far, and it's also the most representative and ethnically characteristic wind instrument among the Han musical instruments. Most of them are made of bamboo. But they can also be made of wood, jade, stone, or even bones. What is curious is that since 笛 and 涤 have the same pronouciation and 涤 means "wash", people believe that Dizi can cleanse the evil.

In China, teaware is more than some tea making tools. It's sometimes part of the home décor, fitting into the interior design. Teaware can be made of ceramics, glass, zi sha (literally "purple clay" because its surface seems to shine a purple twilight), wood, bamboo, etc., and a whole set of teaware includes teapot, tea cups, tea cup holders, tea bowl, tea strainer, tea tray, and possibly more. The true tea artist would use different shapes of teawares or teawares made of different materials for different types of tea. But even if someone who knows little about tea, his or her family must have at least one set of teaware. That's the Chinese culture!

Can Kungfu artists fly? This might seem to be a funny question, but everyone who has watched films or read novels with kung fu elements can't stop think about it. Why? There is a very special discipline of kungfu called Qing Gong (轻功, skill of being light). Writers depict people who know Qing Gong walking on water, fighting on trees, and moving around in the air without a support point. It's also a great visual enjoyment when these situations come to big screen. But is Qing Gong real? Yes. The core idea of Qing Gong is to be QUICK AND STEADY. To practice Qing Gong, one must have great flexibility, balance, and willpower (to control one's body weight). There are exaggerations in artistic creations such as jumping from ground to a tree's top. But like parkour, if you are agile enough (usually with years of practice), you would be able to move around complex environment (walls, eaves, or some wooden planks floating on the water!).

If you ever watched some Qing palace drama, you might have noticed that many women would wear something on their fingers. They're like thimbles, but long and thin and more exquisite. Is wearing them a stylish choice? Yes and no. They were first invented to protect one's long fingernails because people thought long fingernails were fashionable (and fragile, thus protection is needed). The next thing you know, as time goes by, the fingernail protection gradually becomes fashion itself.

The Miao people have always been known for their unique national handicrafts. Today we will take a look at their batik art. Essentially, batik refers to drawing patterns on fabrics, and then using paints to color them. Miao batix consists of using a homemade ladao or knife-like instrument to apply the melted beeswax on a white cloth or fabric. After the wax drawing, the cloth is thrown into a dyeing jar with indigo. Then, the fabrics are put into boiling hot water to remove the beeswax, which reveals beautiful patterns with a unique artistic charm.

Feeling blue today? If you know what Ikat is, you may agree that blue is not necessarily a bad thing. Coming from the Malay-Indonesian word mengikat (to tie), Ikat is an ancient textile art particularly diffused in Southeast Asia, particularly in China, Indonesia and Thailand. The technique is complex and time-consuming, mainly consisting in dyeing the cotton yarns before weaving. Named after such a technique, the Ikat fabric can come in a variety of colours and patterns, although one of the most popular variations is the blue-patterned one. Ikat weavers use pigments of indigo, the local plant which famously gives the characteristic colour to denim, to obtain the particularly dense, sky-like blue. This is probably why in Persia Ikat technique is known as abr brandi, which literally means tying the clouds.

The Great Wall is one of the most amazing architectural creations around the world up to date. The purpose of the wall was to safeguard Qin Shi Huang’s territory against intruders or enemies. The 20,000-kilometer network of walls continued to be flourished throughout Qin Dynasty and Ming Dynasty (14the and 17th centuries CE). One surprising fact about the Great Wall is that sticky rice was found in the mortar recipe because the amylopectin substance helped the wall gets enough strength and endurance. How interesting do you think this approach is?
