There is a very important festival named as dragon boat festival. In that festival there are so many activities. One of the most popular activities is boat race. The race is the symbol to rescue and bring back the body of Qu Yuan. Dragon boat festival may have started in southern china on 5 lunar day of the 5 lunar month was selected as the totem ceremony. The dragon was the head symbol on the totem because we believe that we are the sons of the dragon.

Chinese believe that red is our lucky color.

 Chinese main food is noodles,meat balls and other Chinese food.  Chinese people wear long shirts and trousers. Our main sport is kung fu, in that we practice to defense and attack the enemies. In kung fu Chinese people wear karate suit.  To get married was traditionally considered a must. There is a motto says well: "It is natural to get married when you grow up." So when a girl reached 28 and still single, she would get a lot pressures from relatives, neighbors and even co-workers. On the other hand, even when a couple's contradiction came to a head and both of them were screaming: "Help, I want to get unmarried with him or her." People around them would sing happy marriage for them.  And there is another motto says, 'One day of husband and wife, 100 days of love.' So you can imagine how hard for a couple to get divorced then. If you went your own way, you would find it hard to communicate with people around in the future. Chinese family live together. Family in China means not only mom, dad and kids. It includes all manner of extended family, including grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and in-laws. As a result, many of the values of Chinese culture revolve around family.
