PLEASE BE HONEST ABOUT MY REPORT. DO YOU LIKE IT? It's about China :)

You guys probably already know a little bit about China. Like how we get a lot of stuff from China such as clothing and other merchandise. But China is known for a lot of other things like their circuses, The Lion Dance, Buddhism, Taoism, their PANDAS and most of all their Chinese New Year Festival. Are you ready to learn about China?

There are two main religions in China. The first one is Buddhism. Their major beliefs are to avoid all evil, to do good, to purify one's mind, they believe in reincarnation and karma. Another religion is Taoism which is the belief of spiritual immortality after death and karma. Buddhism and Taoism are very interesting religions; they both believe in karma.

Chinese forms of entertainment blend old and new forms of art like The Lion Dance. The Lion Dance is probably the oldest form of entertainment in China. It symbolizes power, wisdom and good fortune. Another old kind of entertainment that is still used today is acrobats and circus acts. Some of the things that they do are The Lion Dance on top of rolling globes, tightrope walking, contortion acrobats, Chinese yoyo, extreme kung fu, unicycling, bowl balancing, multi-plate spinning, tricks involving smaller animals, fire breathing etc… I would love to go to a Chinese circus!

Festivals are important to Chinese culture. One really important festival is the Chinese New Year Festival. It is celebrated in the United States, China and a lot more places. It is the celebration of the Chinese zodiac signs. The zodiac signs are animals. For example, 2021 is the year of the ox. There is a rotation between 12 zodiac animals. I have been to Chinese New Year in America but I would love to see a Chinese New Year in China!

China is the only place in the world where pandas live wild. Pandas are black and white animals, they only eat bamboo for the most part. Whenever you see a panda in any zoo around the world they are from China. China loans their pandas to the United States and other countries. We only get them for 10 years but sometimes they will extend our time with them. When there are new babies born we usually only get to keep them for four years before they go to China. Pandas are an endangered species, we are lucky to have them in America.

In conclusion I think that China is very interesting because of all of the diversity in religions and entertainment that they have compared to ours. In the short essay you have learned a lot about China, what things did you already know about China?
