英语作文素材之中国文化传统

　　下面是有关中国传统文化的英语学习内容，内容特别新颖而且底下有一定的讲评，和大家平时学习的新概念的语法还有中高考都挺接近，赶紧一睹为快：

　　Traditional Chinese culture is beginning to capture the attention of the world. This is true even as popular culture that has traditionally been considered Western begins to spread throughout China. Kung Fu, especially, has had a great impact on the millions of people who first learned about China through it.

　　From that, they may come to China and learn about other aspects of this culture, such as traditional operas like the Beijing and Sichuan ones.

　　Asian nations have long known about the greatness of ancient Chinese culture. Their own cultures are a mix of native ones and those Chinese characteristics. Korea and Japan long ago adopted ideas such as Confucianism is something that continues today even as it is challenged by Pop Culture. This strength comes from the ideas given in the Four Books of Confucianism (The Great Learning, The Doctrine of the Mean, The Analects of Confucius, and The Book of Mencius).

　　These books built upon the ideas of an even more ancient period codified in the Five Classics. From them, the West learns such things as Fengshui and other concepts that are uniquely Chinese. China has taken steps to further this spread of its culture by establishing Chinese Cultural Centers in such places as the United States and Europe.

　　这些书是依照“五经”之中所体现的更为早期的思维而著成的。西方人从中懂得到了诸如风水等中国所特有的文化概念。中国已经通过向其余国家派遣文化使者并在美国、欧洲等地建立中国文化中心来进一步推广中国文化。
