Before I presented the project about my family. I asked my mom some questions about my family's history. By asking those questions, i have learned many things that i never knew before. My mom told me about my grandparents and she said that they were from China. That's why my family follows China's culture. And now i knew some special culture of my family. Some of them are very superstitious.
I have also learned a lot of things from my classmates. I have never known that one of my classmate's great-graet-great-grandfather was Nguyen Trai, a famous character in Vietnam's history. Her family posesses a very old book which was from a long time ago, and it was a real family tree. And there is one more thing i found interesting. It was a presentation of another class. It talked about China's culture, a very old culture which didn't exist anymore. It dealt with the women in the past in China. They had to bind their feet securely since they were little. They believed that it showed the sign of wealth. I saw some pictures of them in the Internet. It must be very painful. But i have learned more things from that. It was great to know more about different culture.
Yeah, I was so fascinated about the really interesting culture about binding a women's feet to show richness, but it was a very cruel way...
ReplyDeleteThere's a lot more about Chinese culture that we don't know yet, China's very vast land. But I like your answer.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that many interesting and some weird cultures we have never knew as well. But you said the strange activity not anymore, I think it's wrong because now, just a little bit do it in the ethnic so we can't know it sure. By anyway, we had the same culture, Chinese-VietNamese. Finally, Thanks for posting!
ReplyDeletei like your presentation, and I don't know much about Chinese's culture, but I do know that there is a lot of more of them.
ReplyDeleteThat was so cruel that they were binding women's feet. I totally agree with you. I can't even imagine if my feet are like that, because I saw some pictures on the Internet, too. Anyway, I like your post.
ReplyDeleteI just looked up some images on Google about foot binding. Very graphic! But I am glad that you learned about your culture and your family!
