This course aims to help students acquire the basic cultural knowledge and language skills necessary for living in a Chinese-speaking environment, with a focus on Chinese society and culture. The course will cover topics closely related to Chinese culture, including but not limited to: Festivals (Chinese New Year, Lantern Festival, Qingming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival) Traditional Stories (Folktales, Mythology) Philosophy (Confucianism, Daoism) Religion (Daoism, Buddhism, Folk Beliefs) Customs (Weddings, Funerals, Birthdays) Lifestyle and Culture (Chinese Cuisine, Clothing, Movies, Songs, TV Shows) In this class, we will collaboratively create a "Chinese Culture Handbook" to assist students who are about to go to China in quickly adapting to the local environment. Each group of students will be responsible for a specific cultural topic. At the end of the semester, all the topics will be compiled into a complete " Chinese Culture Handbook" for each student.
