China has several large cities, including Shanghai, Beijing, and Hong Kong. Beijing, the capital, is located in northeast China. Its name has changed many times, yet Beijing is one of the oldest cities in the world. It is over three thousand years old. More than fifteen million people live there today. Beijing is a mixture of both ancient and modern buildings. Skyscrapers reach for the sky beside buildings that have stood for hundreds of years. At the center of Beijing is the Forbidden City. This palace, built in the fifteenth century, was the home of China’s emperors for more than five hundred years. It is called the Forbidden City because only the emperor of China could enter every area in it. Today, the palace is a museum. People More than 1.3 billion people live in China, which is more than in any other country. The United States has about 316 million people. That’s about one quarter the size of China’s population. More than half of the people in China live in towns, villages, or the countryside. People who live in rural regions often grow crops and raise livestock for food, while people who live in towns and villages may manufacture goods as well as perform other jobs. Many people also live in large cities, which are centers for trade and business. Many different ethnic groups live in China. The Han is the largest group. Other groups include the Hui (HWAY), Zhuang (JWAHNG), Dai (DY), Yao (YOW), Miao (MEOW), Tibetans (teh-BET-uhns), Manchus (MAN-chooz), and Mongolians (mahn-GOH-lee-uhns). Most Chinese people speak Mandarin, which means “common language.” People in China also speak many other languages, including Cantonese and English. The Forbidden City in Beijing was built in the early 1400s, and first housed the emperor’s family in 1420.

中国有上海,北京,香港等多座大城市. 首都北京地处中国东北. 其名称已多次改变,然而北京是世界上最古老的城市之一. 它已有三千多年的历史。 今天有1 500多万人生活在那里。 北京是古建筑和现代建筑的混合地. 天空飞来飞去 连数以百计的建筑都停了下来 北京市中心为紫禁城. 这座建于十五世纪的宫殿是中国皇帝五百多年间的故地. 因为只有中国的皇帝才能进入其中的每一个地区,所以被称为"紫禁城". 如今,宫殿为博物馆. 13多亿人生活在中国,比任何其他国家都多. 美国约有3.16亿人. 这大概是中国人口的四分之一。 中国有一半以上的人口居住在乡镇或农村. 居住在农村地区的人们往往种植作物并饲养牲畜以取粮,而居住在城镇和乡村的人可以生产商品并从事其他工作。 许多人还生活在大城市,这些城市是贸易和商业中心。 许多不同的民族生活在中国. 汉族是最大的群体. 其他群体包括回族(HWAY)、 Zhu族(JWAHNG)、戴族(DY)、姚族(YOW)、苗族(MEOW)、藏族(Teh-BET-uhns)、满族(MAN-Chooz)和蒙古族(mahn-GOH-lee-uhns)。 大多数中国人会说普通话,这意味着“通用语”。 中国人也说许多其他语言,包括广东话和英语. 北京紫禁城始建于一九一四年正月一日,1420年先为皇帝所住.

Chinese writing does not use the letters of the English alphabet. Instead, it uses thousands of characters that stand for words or parts of words. Some of these characters look like what they mean. For example, the character for the word forest looks like three trees in a forest. Chinese artists have been creating amazing works for thousands of years. One of the more interesting art forms is calligraphy, which is a combination of art and writing. Calligraphers use ink to create beautiful Chinese characters. The characters combine to create stunning images as well as powerful poetry. Land Because China is so large, it has many different landforms. In the northwest, deserts, mountains, and canyons stretch across the region. This area also includes one of the lowest places on Earth—a salt lake located in the Turfan Depression. The lake is 154 meters (505 ft.) below sea level. In the southwest, several mountain ranges reach up into the sky. The most famous range is the Himalayas, which includes the highest mountain in the world, Mount Everest. The southwest also includes high plateaus. It can take years to master the art of calligraphy.

汉字写作不使用英文字母的字母. 取而代之的是,它使用上千个代表文字或部分文字的字符. 其中一些角色看起来像他们的意思. 例如:"森林"一词的人物外表为一林中的三棵树. 中国艺术家数千年来创作出惊人的作品. 更有趣的艺术形式之一是书法,是艺术和作文的结合. 书法家用墨来创造出美丽的中国人物. 人物结合创作出惊人的画面以及强大的诗歌. 地由於中国地势辽阔,有多种不同的地貌. 西北部有沙漠,山地和峡谷横跨该地区. 该地区还包括地球上最低的地方之一——位于特凡萧条的盐湖. 湖面海平面下为154米(505英尺). 西南有多座山脉向上伸入天空. 最出名的山脉是喜马拉雅山脉,包括了世界上最高的山脉珠穆朗玛峰. 西南也包含高原. 要掌握书法艺术,需要几年的时间.

The ancient Chinese people discovered and invented many things we still use today. They were the first to create paper, nearly two thousand years ago. They also invented the magnetic compass, which helped sailors find their way. Gunpowder is another Chinese invention. They used it to blast rocks apart and make fireworks for celebrations. The ancient Chinese were also the first to make fabric from silk. It became the country’s most popular export for many years. People traveled from around the world on a trade route called the Silk Road to get it. The fibers used to make silk come from the cocoons of silkworms. The ancient Chinese discovered they could separate the fibers from the cocoon. Then, they spun the fibers together to make a strong thread. The thread was woven together to make beautiful cloth. Celebrations One of the most widely celebrated holidays in China is the New Year. The Chinese New Year takes place in late January or early February, depending on the Chinese calendar. During the festival, dancers carry colorful dragons or lions through the streets. People light firecrackers and enjoy feasts. They decorate their doorways with poetry written on strips of red paper. These traditions are thought to bring good luck in the coming year. The Lantern Festival is another popular celebration in China. Held soon after the Chinese New Year, it celebrates the first full moon of the year. People hang colorful paper lanterns outside with riddles attached. Others try to solve the riddles to receive a small gift. People also enjoy sweet dumplings made of rice flour. The Chinese New Year celebration lasts two weeks and includes dances such as this fire dragon dance.
