In March 1974, Chinese farmers digging a well unearthed the greatest archaeological find of the century - the buried Terracotta Army. After coming across a life-sized human head made of clay in Xi’an, China, archaeologists were called in to investigate. What they found was extraordinary.

Lingyin Temple - Hangzhou - China
Fēi lái fēng (Peak Flying from Afar) and Ling Yin Temple (Soul's retreat Temple)
According to the record of Lingyin Temple, early in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (317-420 AD), the Indian Monk Hui Li came to Hangzhou and climbed the hill. On seeing the spot, he exclaimed, That's the peak on the vulture's hill at Mid-Tianzhu, whence has it flown here? Hence, the peak got the name Peak Flying from Afar. In 1681, Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty wrote the three characters Fēi lái fēng (Peak Flying from Afar) inscribed on the stone cliff.
Lingyin Temple was first built in 326 AD by the eminent Indian monk Hui Li. With its imposing and magnificent architectural structures, the Temple has remained one of the ten largest Zen Buddhist temples in China. The Temple consists of the Heavenly Guardian Hall, the Hall of Mahavira (Great Hero), the Hall of the Buddha of Medicine, the Hall for Five-Hundred Arhats, the Sutra Repository etc.
2018 China: Chengdu - Qingyang Gong Temple
Qingyang Gong is a famous Taoist temple in southern China. Founded in the 9th century, Qingyang Gong is a sprawling center of Taoist studies that still has a very active community of monks, Chinese traditional medicine doctors, music teachers, Tai Chi Chuan classes, and an excellent vegetarian restaurant. According to legend, this is the place where Lao Tzu, the author of the Tao Te Ching descended from the heavens. The temple was first established though in the Tang dynasty around 880 AD, but was destroyed in the Ming Dynasty. Since then it has undergone many re-constructions and phases, but it has always been an important center in the birthplace for Taoism.
Qingyang Gong is more than a home to some bronze statues. This temple is an ancient Taoist temple and devoted to the memory of Lao Tzu (604 B.C. - 531 B.C.), the father of Taoism. Inside, the magnificent Eight Diagrams Pavilion is delicately inscribed with Taoist theory of relations between yin and yang, and the eight combinations that produce all things on earth. The grounds contain six halls on a central axis, a room for printing Taoist texts that stands to the east, and a room for worshipping Taoist sages that stands to the west.
The extant structures-including the two bronze sheep at the entrance-all date from the latter half of the Qing Dynasty. A two-month long flower festival, with origins in the Tang Dynasty, is still held here each year, beginning on the 15th day of the second lunar month (February/March). The festival is a cultural outpouring, featuring opera and theater performances along with displays of flowers (the crab apple and plum blossoms are renowned throughout China), crafts, and birds.
The Hall of Three Purities (Sanqing Dian) is the monastery's main building, but the most emblematic has to be the Bagua Ting (Pavilion of the Eight Trigrams).
In the Three Purities Hall, there are three huge statues representing the deities of Nature, Virtue and Wisdom. They loom over two mystical beasts. The beast to the right appears to be a goat, but with the claws of a tiger, a unicorn's horn, a snake's tail, and other attributes derived from the Chinese zodiac.
The most important building at Qingyang Gong is the Bagua Pavilion. The present structure dates back to 1882. It has stone pillars carved with the figures of dragons enclosing the life-sized statue of Lao Tzu, the mystical founder of Taoism. Lao Tzu is shown riding a buffalo in the statue. This octagonal building sitting on a square pedestal (symbolic of the earth) rises 20m (65 ft.) and has two flounces of upturned roofs covered in yellow, green, and purple ceramic tiles. Between the roofs, each facet of the octagon has at its center a plaque of the eight trigrams set off by a pattern of swastikas, symbolic of the sun or the movement of fire. The 81 carved dragons are said to symbolize the 81 incarnations of Lao Tsu, but the number has closer associations with Chinese numerology and the belief in nine as the most accomplished of numbers.

Chiang Kai-shek
Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Chiang Kai-shek (; 31 October 1887 – 5 April 1975), also known as Generalissimo Chiang or Chiang Chungcheng and romanized as Chiang Chieh-shih or Jiang Jieshi, was a politician and military leader who served as the leader of the Republic of China between 1928 and 1975, first in mainland China until 1949 and then in exile in Taiwan. He was recognized by much of the world as the head of the legitimate government of China until the late 1960s and early 1970s.
Chiang was an influential member of the Kuomintang (KMT), the Chinese Nationalist Party, as well as a close ally of Sun Yat-sen's. Chiang became the Commandant of the Kuomintang's Whampoa Military Academy and took Sun's place as leader of the KMT following the Canton Coup in early 1926. Having neutralized the party's left wing, Chiang then led Sun's long-postponed Northern Expedition, conquering or reaching accommodations with China's many warlords.From 1928 to 1948, Chiang served as chairman of the National Government of the Republic of China (ROC). Chiang was socially conservative, promoting traditional Chinese culture in the New Life Movement. Unable to maintain Sun's good relations with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), Chiang purged them in a massacre at Shanghai and repressed uprisings at Kwangtung (Canton region) and elsewhere.
At the onset of the Second Sino-Japanese War, which later became the Chinese theater of World War II, Manchurian warlord Zhang Xueliang kidnapped Chiang and obliged him to establish a Second United Front with the CCP. After the defeat of the Japanese, the American-sponsored Marshall Mission, an attempt to negotiate a coalition government, failed in 1946. The Chinese Civil War resumed, with the CCP led by Mao Zedong defeating the KMT and declaring the People's Republic of China in 1949. Chiang's government and army retreated to Taiwan, where Chiang imposed martial law and persecuted critics in a period known as the White Terror. After evacuating to Taiwan, Chiang's government continued to declare its intention to retake mainland China. Chiang ruled Taiwan securely as President of the Republic of China and General of the Kuomintang until his death in 1975, just one year before Mao's death.Like Mao, Chiang is regarded as a controversial figure. Supporters credit him with playing a major part in the Allied victory of World War II and unifying the nation and a national figure of the Chinese resistance against Japan as well as his staunch anti-Soviet and anti-communist stance. Detractors and critics denounce him as a dictator at the front of an authoritarian autocracy who suppressed and purged opponents and critics and arbitrarily incarcerated those he deemed as opposing to the Kuomintang among others.

According to the 2011 census, China is home to approximately 10.5 million Hui people, the majority of whom are Chinese-speaking practitioners of Islam, though some may practise other religions. The 110,000 Dungan people of Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan are also considered part of the Hui ethnicity.
Their culture has distinct differences that developed from the practice of Islam. For example, as Muslims, they follow Islamic dietary laws and reject the consumption of pork, the most common meat consumed in China, and have given rise to their own variation of Chinese cuisine. Traditional Hui clothing differs from that of the Han primarily in that some men wear white caps (taqiyah) and some women wear headscarves, as is the case in many Islamic cultures. However, since the industrialization and modernization of China, most of the young Hui people wear the same clothes as mainstream fashion trends.
The Hui people are one of 56 ethnic groups recognized by China. The government defines the Hui people to include all historically Muslim communities not included in China's other ethnic groups. The Hui predominantly speak Chinese, while maintaining some Persian and Arabic phrases. In fact, the Hui ethnic group is unique among Chinese ethnic minorities in that it associates with no non-Sinitic language.The Hui people are more concentrated in Northwestern China (Ningxia, Gansu, Qinghai, Xinjiang), but communities exist across the country, e.g. Beijing,Xi'an Inner Mongolia, Hebei, Hainan and Yunnan.

Dr. Scholl Foundation Lecture on US-China Relations: China's Great Adjustment
Yu Yongding, a distinguished Chinese economist, delivers The Chicago Council on Global Affair's annual Scholl Foundation Lecture in Chicago, IL on November 4, 2013. Yu was named The Chicago Council's 2013 Dr. Scholl Foundation Visiting Fellow on US-China Relations. He is a leading authority on China's macroeconomic and international monetary issues, and is consulted regularly on world capital markets and China's Central Bank decisions.
CHINA: SHANGHAI: US PRESIDENT CLINTON VISIT UPDATE (2)
Mandarin/Eng/Nat
President Bill Clinton on Wednesday announced a new housing exchange programme between the U-S and China.
He said the project would bring Americans to China to help establish a better home-financing system, stronger property rights and mortgage markets.
The American leader rounded off his last day in China's financial centre with a leisurely boat ride down the Huangpu River.
President Clinton toured a new housing development complex in Shanghai - meeting a new breed of home-owners.
Residents at Jin Hui Gardens live in homes that were purchased with mortgages - only just permitted in China beginning last year.
Construction of Jin Hui Gardens began in 1993.
It's located on the edge of central Shanghai, where the city's urban middle class has migrated to over the past few years.
It covers an area of 700-thousand square metres.
Before a large crowd of officials and residents, Clinton unveiled a new exchange agreement designed to improve China's home financing system.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
I am proud to announce today that we are creating a U-S/China residential building counsel to promote new technologies and energy efficient materials to build sturdy homes that are affordable to live in.
SUPER CAPTION: US President Bill Clinton
Clinton said he hoped the U-S and China would continue to work together.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
I am determined to build a strong partnership and a good friendship between the United States and China that will actually make a positive difference in people's lives.
SUPER CAPTION: Bill Clinton, US President
Construction cranes dot the Shanghai skyline, reflecting the ongoing economic boom in the central Chinese city.
Old residences are regularly torn down to make way for new housing complexes.
Some Shanghai people say they fear they will lose their homes if development continues unchecked.
SOUNDBITE: (Mandarin)
I don't want to move, but I don't know what I can do if the government forces me to move out.
SUPER CAPTION: Slum dweller, Vox Pop
But others say they can hope for nothing better than to have their old homes torn down.
SOUNDBITE: (Mandarin)
My biggest wish is to have my house destroyed and move into a new house. When Jiang Zemin was the mayor of Shanghai, he promised to do so. But some years after, he became president. Nothing has been done. You see in the rainy season, we feel like we're in the rain even when we're indoors. So I look forward to the destruction
of this area.
SUPER CAPTION: Zhu Minzhang, Shanghai Resident
Later on Wednesday, the president and his family took a leisurely boat trip down the city's main river, the Huangpu.
On one bank were the European-style waterfront buildings from Shanghai's golden days
as a cosmopolitan city in the 1920s and 1930s.
On the other were the neon-lit skyscrapers of today.
The trip took the Clintons past the steel-girded stock exchange building and the space-age Orient Pearl television tower that provides commanding views of the city.
With its glittering skyline, Shanghai looks set to rival Hong Kong in nightlife and urban culture.
On Thursday, the president will visit the scenic southwestern city of Guilin.
There he is expected to highlight China's environmental efforts.
In Guilin, the polluted Li River has been cleaned up and denuded hills replanted, salvaging a picturesque landscape that has inspired centuries of Chinese artists and is now one of the country's most popular tourist destinations.
After Guilin, the Clinton entourage is to travel to Hong Kong.
Jetting in from China's scenic Guilin region, the president will land at Hong Kong's new airport at Chek Lap Kok, the first foreign head of state to use the showcase facility.

History of the Jews in China | Wikipedia audio article
This is an audio version of the Wikipedia Article:
History of the Jews in China
Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written
language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through
audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio
while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using
a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Jews and Judaism in China are predominantly composed of Sephardi Jews and their descendants. Other Jewish ethnic divisions are also represented, including Ashkenazi Jews, Mizrahi Jews and a number of converts.
The Jewish Chinese community manifests a wide range of Jewish cultural traditions, and it also encompasses the full spectrum of Jewish religious observance. Though a small minority, Chinese Jews have had an open presence in the country since the arrival of the first Jewish immigrants during the 8th century CE. Relatively isolated communities of Jews developed through the Tang and Song Dynasties (7th to 13th centuries CE) all the way through the Qing Dynasty (19th century), most notably the Kaifeng Jews (the term Chinese Jews is often used in a restricted sense in order to refer to these communities). Unlike other places, the Chinese authorities had tremendous respect for Jewish communities and they did not face significant anti-Semitism in comparison to Europe and America.
In the 19th and early 20th centuries, Jewish merchants from around the world began to trade in Chinese ports, particularly in the commercial centers of Hong Kong, which was for a time a British colony; Shanghai (the International Settlement and French Concession); and Harbin (the Trans-Siberian Railway). In the first half of the 20th century, thousands of Jewish refugees escaping from the 1917 Russian Revolution arrived in China. By the time of the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949, only a few Chinese Jews were known to have maintained the practice of their religion and culture though the Kaifeng synagogue survived for around seven centuries until 1860. China's Jewish communities have been ethnically diverse ranging from the Jews of Kaifeng and other places during the history of Imperial China, who, it is reported, came to be more or less totally assimilated into the majority Han Chinese populace due to widespread intermarriage. In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, however, some international Jewish groups have helped Chinese Jews rediscover their Jewish heritage and reconnect with their Jewish roots.Though Israel established diplomatic relations with China in 1992, the ties between the Chinese and Jewish peoples remain centuries old in addition to Israel and China being products of ancient civilizations dating back thousands of years. The cultural similarities between the Chinese and Jewish civilizations with both nations originating thousands of years ago have drawn the two countries closer together making the two countries natural partners on the international stage.
Jews remain a small minority in China, but unlike Jewish communities in many other parts of the world, Jews have historically lived in China without any instances of antisemitism from the Han majority populace contributing to mutual respect and admiration between the two peoples. Modern Han Chinese have developed a favorable view of Jews, admiring them for their contributions to humanity, their ability to survive, the sharing of Chinese values such as family, frugality, hard work and education, and being products of ancient civilizations have been an impetus towards the long and enduring friendship between the Chinese and Jewish peoples. With the intrinsic affinity that the Chinese people feel for the Jews, relations between the two communities have been mutually close, harmonious and friendly, due to shared common cultural similarities between the two peoples which has resulted in Jews enjoying equal rights and coexisting peacefully alongside the mainstream Han Chinese populace with instances of Jews assimilating into the Han Chinese community through intermarriage. Shared affinities and similar cultural commonalities has not only been an impetus for the close bonds between China and Israel but has also created a symbol of brotherhood between the two communities.

South Putuo Temple / 南普陀寺 厦门 Xiamen China
Situated at the foot of Wulaofeng (Mountain of Five Old Men) and facing the sea, South Putuo Temple is deemed to be one of the must-go tourist places in Xiamen, Fujian Province. Even if you are not interested in Buddhism, you will find the place a scenic area providing you with a refreshing experience.
This Buddhist temple was once called Puzhao Temple (Universal Grace Temple). It was first built during the Tang Dynasty (618-907) and was later destroyed in the warfare during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). During the reign of Qing Emperor Kangxi (1662-1722), a naval general ordered it to be rebuilt into a Buddhist Temple and named it Nanputuo Temple.
The temple covers 30,000 square meters with four main buildings on the north-south axis. The buildings include Devajara Hall (the Hall of Heavenly Kings), Mahavira Hall (Daxiongbaodian), Dabei Hall (the Hall of Great Compassion) and a Pavilion built in 1936 in which Buddhist scriptures, Buddha images from Burma, ivory sculptures and other works of art are stored. The many rooms flanking the main buildings include dormitories, libraries and study rooms for monks.
Devajara Hall: Also called the Hall of Heavenly Kings (Tian Wang Dian), Devajara Hall is the location of the statues of four ferocious Heavenly Kings. In the center of the hall stands a fat Buddha, Maitreya or Milefo. With a broad smile, bare chest and exposed paunch, Maitreya represents the Buddha of the future, also known as the Laughing Buddha.
Mahavira Hall: Mahavira Hall is built in 1921 and features the statues of the Trinity of the Three Ages (Sakyamuni, the Buddha of the Present; Kasyapa, the Buddha of the Past; and Maitreya, the Buddha of the Future), Avalokitesvara (Guanyin Bodhisattva, the Goddess of Mercy) and Avalokitesvara's disciples. most of the attractive murals on the wall depict Buddhist stories and figures from India.

Célèbre temple ancien de Xiamen, le temple du sud de Putuo doit son nom à Guanyin et au Bouddhisattva, ainsi qu’à sa localisation au sud des monts Putuo, l’un des quatre grands lieux bouddhistes de Zhoushan dans la province du Zhejiang.
Au total, le temple s’étend sur environ 25.8 hectares dont un ensemble de bâtiments couvrant une surface de 21,270 mètres carrés.
L’axe principal du sud vers le nord dessert respectivement la salle «des rois célestes», la salle précieuse des «grands héros», celle de «la grande miséricorde» et, enfin, la mansarde des «écritures bouddhistes».
Les couloirs, le clocher et la tour du tambour, les salles «Haihui» et «Puzhao», la bibliothèque «Taixu», les salles de classe de l’institut bouddhiste etc... constituent les annexes réparties des deux côtés.
Tous les bâtiments du temple sont érigés sur un sol montagneux de topographie compliquée dans une atmosphère solennelle et magnifique.
Au cours des dernières années, au sud de la salle des «rois célestes» ont été construits, parmi bien d’autres édifices, un étang de «la vie sans contraintes», deux nouvelles tours de «la longévité», deux pavillons et un étang aux lotus.
Entre les deux étangs, s’élève la tour des «Sept Bouddhas» qui comprend sept représentations de Buddha, comme Sakyamuni et Kasyapa.
Les deux tours de «la longévité» érigées sur 11 niveaux dans le style des constructions bouddhistes du sud de l’Asie, enrichissent le décor du temple.
L’institut bouddhiste du sud de Fujian se situe dans ce temple. Etabli en 1925, c’est le premier institut bouddhiste du pays.
A partir de 1985, l'institut dirige de nouveau une école en installant le collège Yangzheng doté d’un cycle préparatoire scolaire de deux ans et d’un cycle additionnel de recherche également de deux ans dont l’influence est considérable en Chine et en Asie du Sud Est.

SUMMARY

Guangzhou (simplified Chinese: 广州; traditional Chinese: 廣州; Cantonese pronunciation: [kʷɔ̌ːŋ.tsɐ̂u] or [kʷɔ̌ːŋ.tsɐ́u] (listen); Mandarin pronunciation: [kwàŋ.ʈʂóu] (listen)), also known as Canton and formerly romanized as Kwangchow or Kwong Chow, is the capital and most populous city of the province of Guangdong in southern China. On the Pearl River about 120 km (75 mi) north-northwest of Hong Kong and 145 km (90 mi) north of Macau, Guangzhou has a history of over 2,200 years and was a major terminus of the maritime Silk Road, and continues to serve as a major port and transportation hub, as well as one of China's three largest cities.Guangzhou is at the heart of the most-populous built-up metropolitan area in mainland China that extends into the neighboring cities of Foshan, Dongguan, Zhongshan and Shenzhen, forming one of the largest urban agglomerations on the planet. Administratively, the city holds sub-provincial status and is one of China's nine National Central Cities. At the end of 2018, the population of the city's expansive administrative area is estimated at 14,904,400 by city authorities, up 3.8% year from the previous year. Guangzhou is ranked as an Alpha global city. There is a rapidly increasing number of foreign temporary residents and immigrants from Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Eastern Europe and Africa. This has led to it being dubbed the Capital of the Third World.The domestic migrant population from other provinces of China in Guangzhou was 40% of the city's total population in 2008. Together with Shanghai, Beijing and Shenzhen, Guangzhou has one of the most expensive real estate markets in China. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, nationals of sub-Saharan Africa who had initially settled in the Middle East and other parts of Southeast Asia moved in unprecedented numbers to Guangzhou, China in response to the 1997/98 Asian financial crisis.Long the only Chinese port accessible to most foreign traders, Guangzhou fell to the British during the First Opium War. No longer enjoying a monopoly after the war, it lost trade to other ports such as Hong Kong and Shanghai, but continued to serve as a major entrepôt. In modern commerce, Guangzhou is best known for its annual Canton Fair, the oldest and largest trade fair in China. For three consecutive years (2013–2015), Forbes ranked Guangzhou as the best commercial city in mainland China.
