Chinese Noodles

Noodles were first originated from China. Chinese Noodles were first made with millet grass grains and then in A 100 wheat noodles were created. After China created noodles then it started spreading through all Asia which are Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Laos, and some Southeast Asia and Asian island countries. In Chinese culture noodles symbolize long life which is why they are mostly only served on special events like birthdays and Chinese New Year so instead of having a birthday cake Chinese people have birthday noodles which I think is very interesting and different. There are a lot of different types of noodles like La Mian, Chuka Men, Soba, Mee Pok,  He Fen, Pho, Rice Vermicelli noodles and many many more different types of noodles. There are flat noodles, round noodles, thick noodles, skinny noodles, long noodles and short noodles which they all came from China. Thank you China for noodles!!!!!!

The Chinese Flag

The rectangular flag has a red field with five golden-yellow stars in the upper left corner. The star on the left is larger than the other four.The red color of the flag symbolizes revolution, power and the traditional color for the Chinese people. Also the large star symbolizes the Communist Party (rulers of China) and the smaller stars represent the people of China. It also represents the four classes of their society which are The Gentry, The Farmers or Peasantry, The Artisans and The Merchants. The Chinese flag was first adopted in September 27, 1949 but was first flown on October 1, 1949. The Flag was design by a Chinese man named Zeng Liansong.

The Chinese Dragon 

The Chinese Dragon shows up in a lot of the Chinese celebrations as tradition because Chinese people believe they are descendants of this mythical creature. The Chinese Dragon represents prosperity good luck and also good fortune. There is tradition that on the fifth day of New Years there are Chinese Dragons dancing. I think this is pretty cool and the dragon is beautiful. I love how this is tradition for them because it makes their culture more interesting. Everyone in China gather up for the festival were they have the Chinese Dragon dance over a million of people gather up to watch this. Usually the Chinese Dragons are in red because red represents power for China and its the traditional color.

China has five major religions in their country which are Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Islam and Christianity but most of the Chinese citizen are Atheist which means they don't believe in god or have any religion. Buddhism was brought to China 2,000 years ago and is one of the top religions right now with 472.36 million Chinese people believing in this religion. Also there are 46.27 million people being Christian in China which is only 3.5% of the country. Any other religion than these five religions are illegal even though there is a law that Chinese people have freedom of religion. The two traditional religions are Confucianism and Taoism in China. I feel like people in China should be able to believe in any religion not only in those five religions. 

In China Women wear traditional Chinese dresses especially in the traditional color red.  They come in different designs and are very pretty. Women wear these dresses on special occasions. I think they are very pretty and have really nice details to it like flowers, dragons and more. Women whore these dresses more back in the days especially if you came from royalty or important family. These dresses are a sign of wealth and power. These dresses are made out of really soft silky material and are very expensive out there. 

                         Chinese people are very proud of China and have joy for their country. There is a lot of parades that they have that celebrate their country. At least every month there is a always a celebration or a big event.
