		The Chinese language, spoken in the form of Standard Mandarin, is the official language of the People's Republic of China and the Republic of China on Taiwan, as well as one of four official languages of Singapore, and one of six official languages of the United Nations.
		Old Chinese (T:上古漢語S:上古汉语P:Shànggǔ Hànyǔ), sometimes known as 'Archaic Chinese', was the language common during the early and middle Zhou Dynasty (11th to 7th centuries B.C.), texts of which include inscriptions on bronze artifacts, the poetry of the Shijing, the history of the Shujing, and portions of the Yijing (I Ching).
		Chinese morphology is strictly bound to a set number of syllables with a fairly rigid construction which are the morphemes, the smallest building blocks, of the language.

	Yingxi (shadow play): the initial Chinese conception about film
		Chinese cinema before the 1920s made very slow progress and the most important reason was the lack of talent in the fields of film technology and film creation.
		Chinese viewers of these films were not only attracted by this realistic illusion, but were extremely astonished by the "truthfulness" of film.
		The exceptional astonishment of Chinese audience towards film was the result of their acceptance of various traditional Chinese art forms as aimed at being fictitious rather than real in appearance - an aesthetic which constituted a basic difference between Western and Chinese conceptions of art.

	Jordan's China Handbook: The Chinese Language(s)
		Since Chinese tend to name languages after places, and since English tends to use the same names for languages and the people who speak them, it is useful at this point to include a few additional terms you will find in the anthropological literature referring to regional variants of Chinese language or culture.
		As we saw when we discussed the writing system, it is possible for literary Chinese to be quite different in syntax from spoken Chinese, and a result of this was the growth of a literate tradition that required considerable education to manipulate it.
		It is, of course, almost as foreign to speakers of Non-Mandarin variants of Chinese as the old literary standard was, for the languages of China vary not only in pronunciation, but in vocabulary and word order (a fact rarely appreciated by northern Chinese or by Chinese who have been the victims of school system propaganda).

		There is a wonderful Chinese traditional expression or cheng yu that I use in my research methods and proposal development class, in which the listener is asked to consider the sky from the bottom of a well.
		For instance, my U.S. social science friends often have difficulty seeing that this ancient Chinese expression alludes to the fact that people often mistake the image of the sky they get from the bottom of a well for the entire sky, despite the similarity of this expression to Plato's cave in the Western tradition.
		Chinese paintings often show a small group or a solitary scholar in a pavilion writing or drinking tea.

	A Literary History of the American West (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		There was established from the onset of Chinese immigration a pattern of statutory and social exclusion that paralleled the development of Chinese settlement in the West, determining where and at what Chinese might be employed, where they might live, and how they might be schooled.
		Another significant Chinese development from this period is the common use of Cantonese dialects in newspapers published both in Hong Kong and in the Chinese-American communities of San Francisco, Seattle and Los Angeles.
		It should also be emphasized that the first wave of Chinese immigration came during a period in world history when the ancient injustices of colonial and neocolonial exploitation of Africa and Asia for slave and coolie labor would soon cease.

	Notes on Teaching Translation Between Chinese and English
		Translation between Chinese and English seems to be more difficult than that between any two European languages, because the fact that the two languages are of two different language families, namely, Indo-European and Sino-Tibetan, gives rise to many more differences in mode of expression, grammar, syntax, meaning system.
		Chinese speakers seldom pay attention to formal cohesion and their expression seems to be meaning-driven.
		Chinese is characterized by parataxis, which means that the relation between sentence parts is loose and unclear.

	CFMT-TV re Gwai Lo Cooking
		This expression ("gwai lo"), however, is used most often against people of European/Western descent, in a derogatory fashion (I only use "chink" to show another racist expression in English–an expression, which should also be frowned upon).
		In this case, the Council notes that the "humour" in the use of the expression relates to the fact that it is used by a Caucasian chef to describe himself.
		By using the expression as he does, the host transforms it from one of we/them polemic to one of self-identification and inclusion.

	Causes of Failure in Translation and Strategies
		Chinese sentences are loosely connected with one another and the comma seems omnipotent for stringing sentences together.

		This strategy involves replacing a culture-specific item or expression with a target-language item which does not have the same propositional meaning but is likely to have a similar impact on the target reader.

		The two Chinese characters in question are most likely Wei Ji Wei does have the meaning of danger and Ji implies chance, a pivot, or a crucial point in time.
		This fits nicely with the Chinese Taoist worldview, which has the ying-yang balance at its core and suggests that a curse can be a blessing in disguise and vise versa.
		Nevertheless, this seems to be an outsider’s interpretation of a Chinese term; the Chinese themselves haven’t really thought that much about the particular making of the given phrase, at least not to the knowledge of this writer.

	Chinese Lesson : Burn the Zither and Boil the Crane - A Chinese Expression, with Chinese Characters (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		“Burn the zither and boil the crane?- the expression is used to describe the disregard for, or the destruction of, fine culture and good taste.
		In traditional China, music was one of the essential subjects a cultivated gentleman should master, along with philosophy, poetry, calligraphy and board games, and the zither came to be viewed as a symbol for that ideal.
		To burn the zither to boil the crane are therefore acts of cultural annihilation, doubly appalling, committed in ignorance for some modest and questionable material gains.
