Chinese Floods
The Chinese floods in southern China and South Eastern China have caused many deaths and forced over 700,000 to evacuate from their homes. And it is going to get worse before it gets better as meteorologists are predicting another 3-4 days of strong storm surges, but the water has no where left to go.
Reference Information to Ease Your Chinese Character Study
Chinese characters seem the most difficult part for foreign friends to learn the Chinese language. In my opinion, the main reason for that may be Chinese characters look very different from their quarter parts in the Roman languages: each character represents not only the pronunciation, but a certain meaning. Many a complaint comes from that Chinese characters are so unlike each other that you have to learn them one by one, and there are so many to memory, and that when encountering a new character, the previous knowledge of other ones helps little, you can neither pronounce it directly nor guess what it means. Actually, there really are some connections between Chinese characters, all composed in a defined way. You are unable to discover t...

The Use Of Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine As A Natural Insomnia Cure
The practice of traditional Chinese medicine today brings together many thousands of years of medical practice in China including the use of Chinese medicine to cure insomnia naturally. The term 'traditional Chinese medicine' is a quite modern term which was first used by the People's Republic of China during the 1950s when the country was seeking to build a substantial export trade for its time honored medicines and practices.

More than Just a Pretty Show: Chinese New Year Spectacular at Radio City February 14 - 17
New York City, NY (PRWeb) February 14, 2007 -- New Year's Day comes twice this year when NTDTV once again brings its gala celebration of the Lunar New Year to Radio City Music Hall February 14-17 (http://shows.ntdtv.com).
NTDTV's Chinese New Year Spectacular has been touring North America since early January, but the show at Radio City takes the production to a new level with many of the performances making their world premiere, a 45-piece live orchestra in the pit and a company of over 200 dancers, vocalists, and instrumentalists on stage.
After seeing our production of half this size in California, The San Francisco Chronicle responded, "New Tang Dynasty Television's 'Chinese New Year Spectacular' has spectacle to spare - and a mission to lift the spirits"
Cyril Dabydeen, Professor in English Literature at The University of Ottawa and Juror for the Governor General's Award for Literature said, "It was tremendous; it was one of the best shows I've seen at the National Art Center. It's wonderful, superb, beautiful choreography, beautiful soprano singing. I enjoyed it immensely."
The show is truly a medley of cultures and themes incorporating elements of ancient Chinese legends, Buddhism, Daoism, Confucianism, traditional folk dances of China's different ethnicities, as well as more contemporary stories of Falun Gong which esteems traditional Chinese values but is currently being persecuted in China.
At Radio City you will see the heroes of Chinese lore, elegant court ladies in opulent Tang fashions, lovely heavenly maidens, energetic drummers, and much, much more.
The civilization of the Tang Dynasty was so magnificent that many believe it could only have been divinely inspired. It is fitting, then, that the 2007 Chinese New Year Spectacular opens with an original "dance drama" in which a Buddha surrounded by angels and fairy maidens gazes down at our world. Deciding to bring virtue to mankind, he descends to the mortal realm as a Tang Emperor, a Son of Heaven. The use of high-tech multimedia will make the audience feel as though they, too, are traveling through the clouds from heaven to earth. From there, the audience is taken on a beautiful and inspiring journey of song and dance like they have never experienced before.
February 14-17, 2007 (2 shows daily, 11am and 8pm)
Radio City Music Hall
1260 6th Avenue @ 50th Street
