Chinese Culture - Salad and raw foods

Welcome back to 5 Minute Chinese and our Culture Episode.

Chinese Culture - Baby Showers

When I was pregnant the first time I had no idea what a Baby Shower was, and then one of my good friends told me what they were. I was a little surprised because Baby Showers as they exist in America do not exist. China does have something similar, however. In China there is basically the "first 100 days" celebration for a baby where Family come to see the new child and bring him things that he may need (clothes, diapers, etc). How does your culture celebrate the coming or arrival of a new child?

Chinese Culture What does it mean to get older

What does it mean to get older? Between American Culture and Chinese Culture the perception of what it means to grow older is very different as I learned last week. In China, getting older means you have acquired more experience, and you have a more respected position among society. In America, I've noticed, more people don't want to think of them selves as old, or getting older. A strong desire to remain youthful. In China you can see it in the words we use for how much we respect getting older. Words like "Teacher" - Lǎoshī - Lǎo/老 means "Old", and anywhere you see Lǎo used you know it'll likely be in reference to someone in a position of high authority, or experience. What does getting older mean in your society?

Chinese Culture - Indirect Complements and Direct Insults

We mentioned in a previous Cultural episode that in China seldom will friends give each other complements to one another, and more rare to accept it basically. But what we will tell our friends directly are things they don't like about one another, be it hairstyle, or weight, or some choices they have made/making. It's important to understand that their purpose is never to hurt one another. It is honest truth and opinion from your friends. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Donate: http://bit.ly/Wg4FzD Website: http://bit.ly/Wg4F2N 5 Minute Chinese : S08E15 http://bit.ly/1vGOXKq
