关于唐装的英语作文

篇一：十二生肖,唐装的四六级短文翻译

鼠相貌猥琐，鬼鬼祟祟，破坏力强，落得个“老鼠过街，人人喊打”的千古骂名。但它居于中国十二生肖（the twelve symbolic animals）之首，自古以来就令人不可思议。一个较为合理的解释是：鼠在夜里23时至凌晨1时四处活动，这是一天当中最黑暗之时，老鼠此时出没便于隐藏行迹。由此看来，鼠昼伏夜出（nocturnal）的习惯是使它能够在十二生肖中独占鳌头的主要原因，与其口碑不佳及相貌可鄙没有关系。

Mice,look dirty and ugly,enjoy sneaking and destroy everything.That is why we usually heard that A rat crossing the street is chased by all.Unbelievably,mice have occupied the leader of the twelve symbolic animals since ancient times.One of the most reasonable explains is that mice usually hang about everywhere at 11pm to 1am to hide themselves based on dark.On the whole,the primary reasons why mice could be the champion of the twelve symbolic animals is accustomed to hiding by day come out at night,rather than their appearance and behavior.

在上海、北京、南京、广州等许多城市中，穿着唐装（traditional Chinese garment）的时髦女子成为一道美丽的风景线。传统唐装做工细致，色彩艳丽，充满了戏剧化、贵族化气息。前些年唐装还大多是明星、要人在极大正式场合的衣着，普通人可能只在婚礼上才穿。不过，现在开始流行的唐装，在概念上已经有所变化：颜色更加柔和，款式更加随意，价格更加便宜。唐装正朝年轻化、休闲化（informal）、大众化、便利化发展。

It is a beautiful scenery that some modern ladies wear the traditional Chinese garment in many cities such as Shanghai,Beijing,Guangzhou and so on.In ancient times,traditional Chinese garment is full of dramatic and aristocratic breath rely on its meticulous workmanship and bright-colored.A few years ago,traditional Chinese garment was worn by the stars and important persons in great formal occasions and the common people in wedding.But now,traditional Chinese garment is more popular and changing in many ways such as its softer color ,simpler design and cheaper prices.All in all,traditional Chinese garment is becoming younger,more informal and more convenience.

篇二：唐装风韵(旗袍)中英参照

唐装风韵

在“酷”大行其道的新世纪，许多人心头依然弥漫着浓浓的怀旧情绪，改良旗袍和对襟唐装较高的回头率便是明证;从那些附着中国魂魄的衣袂里，个性的张弛，品味的藏露，给人留下难以忘怀的印象。对襟唐装热潮一波未平一波又起，层层推进着人们的时尚之梦。一家家精致优雅的旗袍专卖店，牵动行人的目光;云鬓轻挽的模特小姐们身着五颜六色镶珠缀玉的软缎旗袍，令人心动神驰。 旗袍本系满族妇人的装束，经清朝数百年的濡染，成了中国妇女在特定时代的主要服饰。不仅如此，从各种史料、实物、文学作品都可以看出，直至二十世纪初，“旗装”打扮仍是相当流行的时髦打扮之一。

旗装主要由袍、袄褂、裙、裤、马甲等组成，而旗袍最初是以无袖的长马甲形式出现的。当时的旗袍衣身宽大，腰平直，衣长至足，加许多镶滚，因其直线型的衣着中隐见体态而给人一种传统式的朦胧美。1926年，长马甲同短袄合并，这是“改良旗袍”的雏形，袍摆和袖口装饰有荷叶花边;1927年去掉荷叶边，才显出旗袍真面目。 当年，宋庆龄穿着一袭新式改良的绸缎旗袍出现在汉口的国民政府阅兵观礼台上。几乎在一夜之间，这种新式旗袍便风靡了大江南北。这以后，旗袍一直根据流行时尚进行了多处改良。旗袍作为一种传统而特别的服饰精品，其文化价值的内涵之美，美学价值的独特之美，使之从古到今，在浩瀚的中华文明长河中占有特殊而显著的位置。 一百年前的旗袍，一百年前的花团锦簇，一百年后依然雍容华贵。

近几年，各种各样的改良旗袍，也开始走进寻常人家。新式旗袍在结构上保留了女性胸、腰、臀三围突出的优美曲线，细节上又尊重传统，还在色彩、剪裁、搭配上融入了新的时代气息。大概因为有陪都文化的历史背景，重庆人似乎对中国传统礼服旗袍情有独钟，特别青睐。身着旗袍的重庆女孩既有都市味,又有古典女性的娴淑风韵。

旗袍，中国风情，东方神韵，其玲珑剔透的曲线，袅袅婷婷的风姿，堪称绝美。时尚来去匆匆，惟有旗袍魅力永存！

Charm of Traditional Chinese Garments

Cheongsam,

Of Chinese style, oriental verve,

With exquisite curve line,

And graceful figure,

It is renowned as extreme beauty.

Fashion in haste,

Only cheongsam’s charm lasts forever.

Cool elements have proved popular in the new century, while many people have deep nostalgia in their mind. It can be definitely seen from appreciation of the reformed cheongsam and Chinese traditional garments with buttons down the front. Love for Chinese traditional garments of with buttons down the front has never been faded, which gradually pushes people to run after

fashion. Many elegantly- decorated cheongsam stores spring up, appealing to numerous passers-by. Models wearing soft-satin cheongsams in different colors attracts lots of people to stop and enjoy the beauty.

Cheongsam is evolved from a kind of ancient female clothing of Manchu ethnic minority. After Qing Dynasty, cheongsam became the main garments in certain times. In addition, until the early twentieth century, cheongsam dressing was still a most fashionable dressing, which was mirrored in various historical records, physical objects and literary works.

Dress in Manchu ethnic minority mainly consists of gown, coat gown and waistcoat. However, original cheongsam was sleeveless long waistcoat. Cheongsam then was loose in shape, plain in waist and long enough to the feet and rich in bead. As the figure was looming in the loose garments, the hazy beauty was enjoyed. In 1926, long gown and short coat combined, and the original reformed cheongsam came into being, with flounces designed in gown hemline and wristband. The true cheongsam really appeared. Then, Soong Ching Ling in a new reformed satin cheongsam was present on the reviewing stand of the Nationalist Government in Hankou. Nearly overnight, such a new reformed cheongsam got much popularity all around. From then on, cheongsam has been reformed in several ways according to fashion. As a traditional and unique exquisite garment, cheongsam has been playing a significant role in the long history of Chinese civilization, for its rich content in cultural value and unique beauty in aesthetic value. Over 100 years, cheongsam has still been precious and gorgeous.

In recent years, various reformed cheongsam has been available to common people. New cheongsam has maintained the design of elegant curve in breast, wrist and buttocks, the tradition of details. Besides, the new cheongsam has integrated modern elements into color, cut and match. Probably for the background of war-time provisional Capital, people in Chongqing has a special favor in Chinese traditional cheongsam. Ladies from Chongqing wearing cheongsam are really fascinating for both modern feeling and traditional beauty.

Cheongsam, of Chinese style, oriental verve, with exquisite curve line, and graceful figure, it is renowned as extreme beauty. Fashion in haste, only cheongsam’s charm lasts forever.

1、对白：Once I learn how to use google, isn't that all the education I really need?

范文：The impact of the Internet on learning

In the age of knowledge explosion, the Internet opens a magical portal for learners to get access to seemingly incessant information. But is information equal to knowledge? “Once I learn how to use google, isn't that all the education I really need?” This question fully embodies the prejudiced opinion that as long as people acquire abundant information, they will get proper education.

The reason why education doesn't simply mean learning to obtain information is that education is not limited to the hard facts or theories students can learn from their textbooks or the Internet. It relates to a wider scope ranging from the obtainment of practical skills to the development of characters, which are hard for students to learn simply by googling. Consequently, comprehensive learning in schools that includes learning knowledge, conducting experiments and communicating with peers is what true education is.

In a word, the Internet does provide valuable information for learners, but people should be fully conscious of the essence of education and learn to tell the right from the wrong.

2、范文、The modern technology has greatly altered the mode of

communication among people. With the help of the Internet, people can easily contact each other anytime anywhere. However, the side effect is that many people have become over-dependent on the Internet and neglected face-to-face communication.

As far as I'm concerned, electronic communication cannot fully 1

replace the direct contact among people. Although it seems to bring everyone together, it actually estranges people and decreases the effectiveness of communication. A typical example is that, traditionally, people working in the same office simply walk to others and talk. Today, however, co-workers tend to send e-mails or instant messages through the Internet even when they are sitting next to each other. As words can never convey the full message, it usually takes much more time and rounds of conversation than face-to-face communication, in which people can discuss more directly with less loss of information.

To conclude, the Internet enables more effective communication in some situations, but over-dependence on it actually pulls people apart.

3、范文、The overusing of cell phones

This picture portrays an ironic situation: on the road, stands a man, who is completely concentrating on his cellphone whereas using a stick for direction, which implies the unprecedented popularity or even overusing cell phones nowadays.

Exaggerated as the picture is, the phenomenon behind it is rather thought-provoking. With the development of high-tech equipment, especially smart phones, people in growing numbers tend to become addicted to the excessive use of them. According to a survey carried out in China Daily several days ago, almost 47% of citizens explain that they would experience certain kind of anxiety without cellphones at hand. Meanwhile, the overusing cellphones, firstly would exert detrimental impact on the health of us. What's worse, it would perform a negative character in interpersonal relationship since we have less time to communicate.

Judging from the evidence above, certain measures should be taken. Firstly, certain institutions in China should launch relevant campaigns to limit the excessive use of cellphones. Moreover, we, as college students, should put emphasis on it right from ourselves as a start.

4、开头：Recently, the problem of ? has aroused people's concern.

最近，??问题已引起人们的关注。【用法：先引出要剖析的现象或者问题，然后评论】 Now, it is commonly/generally/widely believed that?But I wonder/doubt that?如今，人们普遍认为??但是我觉得??【用法：先引出其他人的不同看法，然后提出自己的看法或者偏向于某一看法，适用于有争议性的主题】

Now people in growing numbers are beginning to realize that?.现在，越来越多的人逐渐认识到??【用法：开门见山，直截了当地提出自己对要讨论的问题的看法】

5、引出不同观点:People's views on ? vary from person to person. Some

hold that ?. However, others believe that?.人们对??的观点因人而异。有些人认为??,然而其他人却认为?? There are different opinions among people as to ?关于?人们的观点大不相同。

6、提出建议：It is time to take the advice of ? and to put special

emphasis on the improvement of ?该是采纳??的建议，并对??的进展给予特殊重视的时候了。There is no doubt that enough concern must be paid to the problem of ?毫无疑问，对??问题应予以足够的重视。

【汉译英1】波士顿咨询公司最近做的一项研究显示，到2020年中国将会有2.2亿家庭收入

在2万到100万美元的富裕消费者。这些消费者中75%住在“较小城市”。随着网络的发展，较小城市的消费者的一种必然趋势是他们更加依赖社交网络服务上的信息。很多网络顾客都是通过微信、微博和QQ空间分组的。据估计今年中国将会有2.5亿消费者进行网购，位于四线城市的消费者平均每人会花费他们50%或者更高的工资在网购上，这一数据要比一线城市的消费者的花费高。

【参考译文】A recent study conducted by the Boston Consulting Group says there will be 220 million affluent consumers, who are from households earning between $ 20,000 to $ 1 million, in China by 2020, and 75 percent of them will live in “smaller” cities. With the development of the Internet, an inevitable trend among these consumers is they are much more dependent on information from social networking services. Many of the website's customers are “grouped” by Wechat, Weibo and QQ Zones. It is now estimated that 250 million Chinese consumers will shop online this year and the average shopper in a fourth-tier city in China will spend 50 percent or more of their income on e-commerce than those in top-tier cities.

【汉译英2】聘金是中国传统习俗的一部分。这一习惯在整个中国都很普遍。但是近几年来其标准不断上升，致使大多数家庭都很难达到。高额的聘礼常常“抢劫”了新郎父母必生的积蓄，甚至引起家庭纠纷。此外，许多新婚夫妇被迫举行奢侈的婚礼宴会，在这个过程中，大量债务的累积可能使他们的新婚生活变得辛酸，至少在最初阶段是这样。想想老一辈节俭的婚礼，虽然简简单单，但也幸福美满，没有给他们婚后的生活带来任何负担。

【参考译文】Endowment may be part of Chinese tradition, but the standards have become so high in recent years that a majority of families are finding it difficult to meet them. The high endowment amounts often rob grooms' parents of their life's savings and cause family disputes. Besides, many newly married couples are forced to host extravagant wedding ceremonies to keep up with the Joneses and, in the process, run up huge debts that could turn their married life sour, at least in the initial phase. Considering the frugal wedding of many parents, simple but happiness, didn't have any bearing on their married life.

中国的传统节庆膳食是节日必不可少的伴侣。例如，我国的端午节(the Dragon Boat Festival)

是纪念古代 诗人屈原的日子。那一天，人们通常要赛龙舟、吃粽子(zongzi)。中秋节是观赏满月的日子。圆圆的月亮象征 着圆满，象征着家庭团聚。因此，中秋节(The Mid-autumn Festival)的特制食品是一种圆形的月饼。春节是中国 的农历新年(the Chinese lunar New Year’s holiday)，除了常见的家禽和肉类之外，人们还要按各自的地方习俗 烹制传统食物，如铰子和年糕。

Traditional Chinese holiday meals are indispensable on some festivals. For example, the Dragon Boat Festival is a day established in memory of the ancient poet Qu Yuan and people usually hold dragon boat races and eat zongzi, or rice dumpling on that day. The Mid-autumn Festival is an occasion for viewing the full moon. The round moon is a symbol for completeness and family reunion. The special food of the day is yuebing, a round cake known as the mooncake. The Spring Festival is the Chinese lunar New Year’s holiday. Besides the popular poultry and meat, people cook traditional food according to regional customs, for example, jiaozi, or boiled dumplings, and niangao, or the “ 1 ” new year cake .

过去的七年，中国的房地产(real estate)业经历了前所未有的高速增长。对于那些月薪较低

却渴望在大城市 拥有一套属于自己的体面、舒适的栖身之所的人来说，高昂的房价是他们无法承受的负担。鉴于这一状况，政府近来采取了一系列的措施来防止房价过快增长，包括提高利率及增加房产税等。目前，这些措施在部分城市已经 取得了初步的成效。

In the past seven years, China’s real estate industry has developed

如今，越来越多的大学生抱怨很难找到好工作。造成这一现象的原因如下：首先，大学生把在校的大多数 时间都用在了专业学科学习上，只有当他们开始找工作的时候，才意识到自己缺乏必要的职业培训。其次，大 学生之间的竞争也越来越激烈，这导致任何一名大学生找到工作的机会都变小了。因此，强烈建议大学生在 课余时间做一些兼职工作，以积累相关的工作经验。 Nowadays, more and more university students complain about having great difficulties in finding a good job. The reasons for this phenomenon are as follows: First, college students spend most of their time at school studying academic subjects and it is only when they start looking for a job that they realize they lack necessary job training. Second, competition among graduates has become more and more fierce. And this results in a decreased chance for any individual graduate to find a job. Therefore, it is highly suggested that college students should do some part-time jobs in their spare time to accumulate relevant working experience.

1.抱怨很难找到好工作：翻译为complain about having great difficulties in finding a good job。其中“抱怨做某事”用句型complain about doing sth.表示，having great difficulties in finding a good job表示“找工作有困难”，用到了句型have difficulties in doing sth.。

2.只有当他们开始找工作的时候，才意识到自己缺乏必要的职业培训：翻译为it is only when they start looking for a job that they realize they lack necessary job training。‘‘只有当 才 ’’用强调句型it is only when?that?表示。

3.导致：翻译为results in,同义短语有lead to和bring about，但是表示不好的结果时一般用短语result in。

4.强烈建议：翻译为it is highly suggested that?，其中highly suggested也可以用 strongly recommended 替换，都表示“强烈建议做某事”。

篇五：中国文化常识中英文对照1

中国文化常识之十二生肖

十二生肖

中国民间有一个传统习俗，人一出生，就有一种动物做他的属相。属相，也叫“生肖”，是中国民间传统的纪年和计算年龄的方法。

中国古代的纪年法是帝王年号与“干支”并用，其中“干支纪年法”从史书上有明文记载的公元前841年（庚申年），一直沿用到现在。“干”是“天干”，有十个字组成，这十个字是：甲、乙、丙、丁、戊、己、庚、辛、壬、癸。“支”是“地支”，由十二个字组成，这十二个字是：子、丑、寅、卯、辰、巳、午、未、申、酉、戌、亥。把天干的十个字和地支的十二个字按顺序配合起来，可以得到60种排列，如：甲子、乙丑、丙寅??这60种排列周而复始，循环使用，每六十年叫做“一个甲子”。如公历的2001年，是农历的辛巳年，公历的2002年，是农历的壬午年；而六十年后，2061年又是辛巳年，2062年又是壬午年。从东汉（25——220）时开始，人们又用鼠、牛、虎、兔、龙、蛇、马、羊、猴、鸡、狗、猪12种动物来配十二地支，组成了十二生肖，也叫十二属相。这就是子鼠、丑牛、寅虎、卯兔、辰龙、巳蛇、午马、未羊、申猴、酉鸡、戌狗、亥猪。这样，子年是鼠年，丑年是牛年，寅年是虎年??于是，每个人一出生，就有一种动物作他的属相。子年出生的属鼠，丑年出生的属牛，寅年出生的属虎，以此类推。

现在，中国人在用公历纪年和计算年龄的同时，仍然习惯用属相纪年和推算年龄。

小孩儿满月与抓周

在中国，小孩儿的满月酒和抓周仪式独具特色。在孩子的成长过程中，这两个仪式有里程碑式的纪念意义。

小孩儿出生满一个月的那天，孩子的家人一般要招呼亲朋挚友，邀请他们一起来庆祝孩子满月。按照中国的传统，这一天，家里会充满了喜庆和节日的氛围，满月就要办得热热闹闹才行。不过最近这些年，这个习俗在城市尤其是年轻夫妇中有逐渐被淡化的趋势。但是，小孩儿满月对于每个家庭来说，仍然是一个非常值得纪念的高兴的日子。

“抓周儿”中的“周”是小孩儿满一周岁的意思。关于“抓周儿”，最早记载于北齐。“抓周儿”也就是在小孩儿满周岁那天，吃中午的长寿面之前，摆上经书、笔、墨、纸、砚、算盘、钱币、账册、首饰、花朵、胭脂、吃食、玩具等，如果是女孩儿则要加摆铲子、勺子（炊具）、剪子、尺子（缝纫用具）、绣线、花样子（刺绣用具），再由大人将小孩抱来，令其端坐，父母及他人不给予任何的引导或暗示，任孩子随意挑选，看他先抓什么，后抓什么，并以此为依据来预测孩子可能存在的志趣和将从事的职业以及前途。

婚礼

结婚是人生中的一件大事。传统的中式婚礼古朴而又热闹，隆重、喜庆并且礼节周全，场面的铺陈颇具特色，不过在现代，尤其是在城市里，已经很少见了。 花轿是传统婚礼的核心内容之一。结婚时，新娘要坐在花轿里从娘家被抬到男方家中。花轿一般分四人抬，八人抬两种，又有“龙轿”“凤轿”之分。除去轿夫之外，还有持笙锣、伞、扇等的随行人员，一般的轿队少则十几人，多则几十人，很是壮观。传统的中式婚礼中，新娘要蒙着红盖头，在伴娘的伴随下，由

新郎手持的大红绸牵着，慢慢地登上花轿。在新娘成花轿去往男方家里的途中，颠花轿是必不可少的热闹场面。轿夫一起左摇右摆使花轿不稳，新娘坐在里面也是左摇右晃。有的时候，新郎甚至不得不代替新娘或者和新娘一起向众人抱拳施礼求饶，而这个时候，众人欢笑不止，实际上是为了增添新人成婚之日的喜庆气氛。

中式传统婚礼的最重要的部分便是拜堂成亲。新人走到天地桌前，上面摆放有装满粮食的斗，斗的四周写上“金玉满斗”四个大字，以红纸封口，斗内四角放若干硬币，以供拜完天地后看热闹的亲朋好友掏出来求取吉利之意。斗中要插一柏枝，枝上缀有铜钱，这个柏枝便被称作“摇钱树”。斗旁放一杆秤、一面镜、织布机杼、一灯或一蜡烛。新郎在右，新娘在左，并肩站在天地桌前，执事人高声喊道：“一拜天地，二拜高堂，夫妻对拜”。民间的说法认为，男女只有在拜过天地后才能算作是正式夫妻，因此对这个拜堂的仪式非常重视。还有民间习俗有这样有趣的研究，即如果新郎在结婚的当天因故不能拜天地，就让他的姐妹抱只公鸡来代替。

坐完花轿、拜完天地、接下来新人要入洞房了。洞房是一直延续下来的叫法，新人入了洞房以后，按照习俗，新郎新娘的同辈亲友聚集在洞房里，对新郎新娘开一些充满暗示的玩笑。这时即便过头一点，新郎新娘也不会生气，而是想办法巧妙化解，因为亲朋好友闹洞房图的是高兴和热闹。

旗袍与中国传统服饰

旗袍源自清代满族女性服饰，被誉为中国传统服饰文化的典范。它不仅在整体造型的风格方面符合中国文化和谐的特点，而且它的装饰手法也展现着浓厚的东方特质。另外，穿旗袍可以增加形体的修长感，配上中高跟鞋，更可以抬升人体的重心，将东方女性的端庄、典雅和含蓄的美展露出来。因此旗袍在中国民族服装中独领风骚，久盛而不衰。

中国男子的传统服饰比较有代表性的为长袍、马褂，长袍和马褂都是满族男子的服装，盘领、窄袖，马褂是对襟，大都有马蹄袖，长袍为大襟。也有马褂、长袍相连的两部形式，这种形式的长袍只有下半截，连扣在马褂的内下摆。长袍马褂给人的感觉是既不乏庄重，又显得洒脱和舒适。

2001年APEC会议各国元首穿着“唐装”集体亮相，掀起了一股以穿“唐装”为时尚的风潮。将“唐装”作为中式服装的通称，主要因为国外都称华人居住的地方为“唐人街”，所以“唐人”作为中式服装的通称，主要是因为国外都称华人居住的地方为“唐人街”，所以“唐人”穿的衣服自然就叫做“唐装”了。当今的“唐装”是由清代的马褂演变而来的，它的款式结构有四大特点：一是立领，上衣前中心开口，立式领型；二是连袖，即袖子和衣服整体没有接缝，以平面裁剪为主；三是对襟，也可以是斜襟；四是直角扣，也就是盘扣；另外从面料来说，则主要使用织锦缎面料等。

另外，中国不动地域和不同民族的服饰也各有特色。比如，肚兜就是关中和陕北的传统的贴身服饰，肚兜的形状就像背心的前襟，上面用布带系在脖颈上，下面两边各有一条带子系在腰间，它可以避免肚子受凉，夏天时儿童穿在外面也显得天真烂漫。在儿童穿的肚兜上尝尝绣有虎头像和“五毒”图案，给予了大人希望孩子健康成长的美好祝愿。再比如，中国少数民族彝族的服?a href="http://www.zw2.cn/zhuanti/guanyuwozuowen/" target="_blank" class="keylink">我埠苡刑氐恪Ｒ妥甯九耐肥未笾掠胁贰痢⑿寤比啵渲泻旌拥厍九耐肥胃?/p>

琳琅满目，以银饰为贵为美。披风是彝族男女皆备的特色服装，以动物皮毛、毛麻织品和草编织制品为原料，以青、蓝二色为主。

Twelve Symbolic Animals

It is traditional in China,when a perpon is born,one animal(shuxiang)is used to symbolize this year.Shuxiang,also called shengxiao(any ofthe 12 animals representing the Earthly Branches), is a traditional way in China to number the years and to record a person's age.

The ancient Chinese people invented the method to designate the years by the Heavenly Stems consist of the characters:jia,yi,bing,ding,wu,ji,geng,xin,ren,and gui.And the Earthly Branches are composed of 12 characters: zi, shu, yin, mao, chen, si,wu,wei,shen,you,xu,hai.Combining each of the 10 Heavenly Stems with one of the 12 Earthly Branches in sequence creates 60 chronological symbols.For example jiazi,yichou,bingyin,etc.These 60 symbols are used in circles and thus each year has a chronological symbol.For example,2001 corresponds to xinsi,2002 to renwu in the lunar calendar;after 60 years,2061,once again,corresponds to xinsi, and 2062,to renwu.Later,people used 12 animalsto correspond to the 12 Earthly Branches,forming the 12Symbolic Animals,namely Earthly Branch One Rat, Earthly Branch Two Ox,Earthly Branch Three Tiger, Earthly Branch Four Rabbit, Earthly Branch Five Dragon,Earthly Branch Six Snake,Earthly Branch Seven Horse,Earthly Branch Eight Sheep,Earthly Branch Nine Monkey,Earthly Branch Ten Rooster,Earthly Branch Eleven Dog,Earthly Branch Twelve Pig.Thus the zi year is the Year of the Rat,and the chou Year is the year of the Ox,and the yin

Year is the Year of the Year of Tiger, etc. Therefore, when a person is born, he has an animal as his aymbolic animal.The year 2002 was a renwu year under lunar calendar,also the year of Horse,and so children born in this yea are all Horse babies.

Even though the Chinese people now number the years and their age under the Gregorian calendar,the still continue to use the symbolic animals.As long as people know a person' probable age and his symbolic animao,people can infer his exact age and year of birth.

Wedding

Marriage is the most important thing in the life.In China, a traditional wedding is simple and lively,ceremonious,and joyful.There are some unique

features in this ceremony,but in modern society,especially in the city ,it is hardly seen any more.

The bridal sedan is the core of the traditional wedding.In wedding,the bride should sit in the sedan, then be lifted from her mother's home to her husband' home.

Cheong-Sam and Traditional Chinese Costumes

The cheong-sam has its origin in the Manchu female's costumes in the Qing Dynasty and has been regarded as the model of Chinese traditional habilatory culture .As for the reason, the cheong-sam not only accords withe the

characteristic of harmony within Chinese culture in terms of the style ,but also

shows rich oriental idiosyncracy with regard to ornamental techniques.In addition, the cheong-samwill give more pominence to a lady's slender figure , and also help to heighten the center of gravity of human bodies together withe high-heel shoes, so taht civility,elegance and dignety will be fully displayde.Therefore,the cheong-sam developed its own trend ,which has been long lasting.

As for the traditional clothes of Chinese men ,the long gown and mandarin jacket are typical.Both of them have roundnecks and narrow sleeves. The

mandarin jacket can be seen as a kind of Chinese-style jacket with buttons down the front, mostly with sleeves like a horse's hoof.However,the front of long gowns, with buttons on the right,is basically large.There is also a type of garment combining the long gown and the mandarin jacket ,and they will only have the under-half part,buttoning in the under lap of the mandarin jacket.The long gown and mandarin jacket will giver the impression of comfortableness and ease as well as sobriety.

In 2001,the presidents struck a pose on the stage in Chinese style costumes at the APEC Forum,and thus a trend of wearing Chinese style costumes came into being. The very reason why clothing with Chinese style has been labeled as Chinese -style costumes is that the place where overseas Chinese reside in has been called “Chinese town “and consequently the costumes which the Chinese wear are called Chinese style costumes. Current Chinese-style costumes were transformed from the mandarin jacket of the Qing Dynasty, and there are four major characteristics in terms of design. First, Chinese-style costumes have a stand-up collar and buttons in very middle of the front of the jacket; second, there is no seam between sleeves and jacket; third, the costumes are jackets with buttons down the front or in diagonal way; last, they have right-angled buttons. In addition, with regard to the outside material, Chinese costumes are mostly made with silk. Moreover, the feature of clothing varies with areas and nationalities. For instance, the bellyband is the traditional close-fitting costume in Central China and north of Shanxi .The bellyband is just like the front of vest with a lace tying to the neck and it an prevent children from catching a cold. The children's wearing of bellyband will also show their naivety. Most bellybands will be embroidered with the pattern of tiger head and the "Five Poisons”, which contain a parents' nice expectation of wishing their children health. To take the costumes of the Yi Nationality as another example, they are rather distinctive with three types of women's had wears including decorating brocade round the head and ASAP with an embroidered case. Especially in the area of Hong he, women's head wears are full of beautiful colors and styles .They prefer silver ornaments to show their riches and beauty .However, the manteaux can be regarded as the distinctive costumes for all people of the YiNationality, which are mostly made of fur, delaine, hemp and straw and whose colors are mainly cyan and blue.
