In Touch Shanghai

I have some Chinese symbols, things like "sun," "moon," "wisdom," etc. hanging up in my room that I would like to hang pictures next to to represent the symbols, like an old wise man next to "wisdom." Is there any site where I can find chinese pictures of these things that I can print out?

Thanks for looking, if you choose to take the time to do so.
Free pictures would be great, rather than paintings you have to pay for.

I am interested in chinese martial arts, like all the different kinds of Kung Fu, and I was wondering, if you have any experience, what is the most effective chinese martial art for self defense? Do you think Shaolin is the best? I’ve heard some people say Tai Chi is best in the long run, or that Wing Chun is best, etc…What is your opinion?

What is best for me won’t necessarily be what is best for you. I like Hung Gar. We train in a complete system that does not require blending other systems, but also does not frown upon it.

I have studied Chinese boxing for over a decade now, but have experience in Korean systems previously to that. I do prefer Chinese systems (otherwise I wouldn’t be training in them!), but that isn’t to say they are necessarily better than other systems; rather, they are better for me and what I want out of my training.

The great thing I have found about Chinese boxing is that they are varied and are determined to be suited for a practitioner not just based on desire of training, but also on attitude and even the practitioner’s physique. Since I am of average height and have a stalky build, I am very well suited for Hung Gar, which is the system in which I train. I know of people who do Northern Shaolin who are tall and lanky and excel at it. This isn’t to say that somebody like me couldn’t do just as well in it, but it may require more practice and training to reach a higher level.

All that being explained, ask yourself what you want out of your training, how long you plan on training, and what techniques may come more naturally for you, otherwise, how much practice you are willing to put in for techniques that do not come naturally for you!

Oh, and FYI, "Tai Chi" is merely a philosophy, whereas "Tai Chi Chuan" is an actual martial art. It is practiced slowly since it possesses no basics and since doing it slowly massages the internal organs and has fantastic health benefits. This being the case, many never progress to practicing it at full speed. This is also why many seniors do it. In fact, it is joked that Tai Chi Chuan is China’s universal health care! When somebody does do Tai Chi Chuan at full speed, though, it is easy to see why the translation is "Supreme Ultimate Fist". It takes a very long time to attain this level. Most Chinese boxing schools teach Tai Chi Chuan on top of their external martial arts programs.

I’ll have a business trip in Shanghai in September; there seems a Shanghai Tourism Festival. Probably I would take a look during the trip, could someone give me some information and the recommended hotels in Shanghai?

Hello, I just found some information about Shanghai Tourism Festival. Shanghai Tourism Festival will start from September 19th to October 6th this year. Besides International Music Fireworks, there are series activities, Shanghai Shopping Festival, Yuyuan Chinese Day, Rose Wedding Ceremony, and Germany Week, etc.

Shanghai has many good hotels, and I recommend this hotel, Leading Nobel Suites Hotel (http://leadingnoble.sinotour.com/) because my boss used to stay in this hotel. The rate of the hotel is cheap, and the location is pretty convenient to go to other places. If you would like to live close to Huaihai Road, Jin Chen Hotel (http://jinchen.sinotour.com/) is a good choice.

More information about Shanghai, you can link on the page http://tourguide.sinotour.com/shanghai/

Have a nice trip in Shanghai.

i have seen some very large chinese landscape drawings. I believe they must put together some smaller papers to create the whole. How do they do it? Do they use glue? or just hang them next to each other?

Rice paper can be made to any desired size. You just have to have the space for it. The larger format art you see is all one sheet of rice paper that was made to that specific size. For a very large piece they will have to spread the pulp over a much larger area and let it dry.

I plan on start business at shanghai(China).

There are various ways to do business, the real challenge is to find the legitimate program and follow it. I would recommend you to check the website below for review
Browse through the site to find the right program for you.

I am going to Shanghai for business, so I only have two days of my own. I wanna see the elite attractions of the region.

Shanghai is a metropolis indeed, resembling New York.

Different from Shanghai, the ancient water towns take on a classical Chinese style have won high reputation from lots of visitors. And all towns are so small that you can stroll up in 1 day, Wuzhen, Mudu, Zhouzhuang, Tongli are in the neineighborhood of Shanghai , I’m sure you will be fascinated by the elegant scenery.

This is the video from just the Shanghai portion of our trip to China. Augusta State University study abroad program for International Business.
