对老外最具吸引力 最受老外喜爱的中国十大特色礼品 一、风筝：风筝为中国人发明，相传墨翟以木头制成木鸟，研制三年而成，是人类最早的风筝起源，后来鲁班用竹子，改进墨翟的风筝材质，更而演进成为今日多线风筝。风筝是一种玩具，在竹篾等的骨架上糊纸或绢，拉着系在上面的长线，趁着风势可以放上天空。有北京风筝、潍坊风筝。二、二胡：二胡是中华民族乐器家族中主要的弓弦乐器(擦弦乐器)之一。唐朝便出现胡琴一词，当时将西方、北方各民族称为胡人，胡琴为西方、北方民族传入乐器的通称。至元朝之后，明清时期，胡琴成为擦弦乐器的通称。敦煌、虎丘的还行，要实在想买好的话只能定做了，不过会贵，一般的琴行就有，高级一点的要私人厂家定做了。三、剪纸：又叫刻纸，是中国汉族最古老的民间艺术之一，它的历史可追朔到公元6世纪。窗花或剪画。区别在创作时，有的用剪子，有的用刻刀，虽然工具有别，但创作出来的艺术作品基本相同，人们统称为剪纸。剪纸是一种镂空艺术，其在视觉上给人以透空的感觉和艺术享受。代表有湖北沔阳剪纸、广东佛山剪纸和福建民间剪纸、江苏扬州剪纸、河北蔚县剪纸等等。四、笛子：中国笛子历史悠久，可以追溯到新石器时代。那时先辈们点燃篝火，架起猎物，围绕捕获的猎物边进食边欢腾歌舞，并且利用飞禽胫骨钻孔吹之（用其声音诱捕猎物和传递信号），也就诞生了出土于我国最古老的乐器——骨笛。笛子是中国广为流传的吹奏乐器，因为是用天然竹材制成，所以也称为"竹笛"。笛子的表现力非常丰富，它既能演奏悠长、高亢的旋律，又能表现辽阔、宽广的情调，同时也可以奏出欢快华丽的舞曲和婉转优美的小调。然而，笛子的表现力不仅仅在于优美的旋律，它还能表现大自然的各种声音。比如模仿各种鸟叫等。中国乐器的笛子英语为其拼音dizi，西洋乐器的笛的英语为flute。目前笛子还没有形成一个品牌的概念，用着好才行。五、筷子：可谓是中国国粹。既轻巧又灵活，在世界各国餐具中独树一帜，被西方人誉为“东方的文明”。它是反应中国饮食文化的重要组成特色部分。英文名:chopstick(单根筷子) ，chopsticks(一双筷子)。有个流传颇广的笑话，一洋人问中国人，听说中国有二十四个人共吃一桌酒席的事，是不是真的？中国人说，是的。洋人问，桌子那么大，怎能夹到菜呢？中国人说，我们有种三尺来长的筷子。洋人又问，这么长的筷子，夹菜是没问题了，可是怎么转过弯来，把菜送到自己嘴里呢？中国人说，我们是你夹给我吃，我夹给你吃啊。著名的筷子有：成都望江楼的烙花筷、成都武侯祠的狮头竹筷、河南中岳的楠木筷、武汉黄鹤楼的贴花筷、湘南阳明山的通气筷、杭州西湖的天竺筷、宁波的水磨竹筷、苏州的白木筷、福建的漆筷等。据说，1972年美国总统尼克松首次访华时，在出席周恩来举行的国宴上使用过的一双筷子，被机灵的加拿大记者“顺手牵羊”，后来出价竟高达数千美元。六、脸谱：戏曲中某些角色脸上画的各种图案,用来表现人物的性格和特征。脸谱分为四种：生、旦、净、丑。中国京剧脸谱艺术是广大戏曲爱好者的非常喜爱的艺术门类，在国内外流行的范围相当广泛，已经被大家公认为是中华民族传统文化的标识。七、织绣：织绣是用棉、麻、丝、毛等纺织材料进行织造、编结或绣制的工艺。中国织绣工艺品种繁多．绚丽多彩。主要有刺绣、织锦、缂丝、抽纱、花边、绒绣、机绣、绣衣、绣鞋、珠绣、地毯、手工编结等。织绣品历史悠久。在新中国在对外交往中的馈赠礼品中，仍以传统工艺品为主，其中织绣品占有相当比重，并深受外国贵宾的喜爱。如万通驿路出品的袖珍织绣近年来很是受宠，国外收藏者较多，便于携带，让老外爱不释手，每件袖珍织绣均用线近千米近万米，画面典雅清秀，设计高贵，艺术品味十足，尽展大千风情。八、瓷器：中国是瓷器的故乡，瓷器的发明是中华民族对世界文明的伟大贡献，在英文中“瓷器（china）”与中国（China）同为一词。大约在公元前16世纪的商代中期，中国就出现了早期的瓷器。中国是名副其实的”瓷”这国，近几年日用陶瓷如雨后春笋，蓬勃发展。瓷器在新中国对外交往中的馈赠礼品中也占有相当大的比例。九、书画：中国画（宣画）在世界美术领域中自成体系，既有悠久的历史，还有优良的传统。是指用笔、墨、颜色在帛、布、绢、纸、绫等上面画的东西。常见外宾在小店或地摊买几幅字画，且尺寸不大，价格都很便宜，偏贵的不买，主要原因是对这些画家不了解。十、茶叶：据考察，“茶”字最早出现在《百声大师碑》和《怀晖碑》中，时间大约在唐朝中期，公元806年到公元820年前后；稍后，《茶经》也采用了“茶”字。在此之前，文古曾制作过 “茶”是用“荼”表示的。中国茶的种类繁多，茶相当于外国的咖啡。有名的茶叶有：西湖龙井、安溪铁观音、云南普洱茶、黄山毛峰、洞庭碧螺春、君山银针、庐山云雾、冻顶乌龙、祁门红茶、苏州茉莉花等。织绣、书画、瓷器相对其他的礼品来讲较为贵重，外宾对易碎怕压的特色礼品在购买时都很谨慎。以上就是对国外朋友最有吸引力最受喜爱的十大礼品，尽显中国独特气韵。

origin of the holiday(节日的来历)Part 1 The History of Thanksgiving in the USA 感恩节的来历(这里面有很多，各个节日的英文介绍，好几页：)情人节(Valentine s Day)在国内外origin of Christmas 圣诞节的起源 has many origin stories.新年New Year's DayLike many people all over the world, Americans enjoy celebrating the arrival of each new year. Almost everyone makes an occasion of New Year's Eve in order to see the old year out and welcome the new one. In New York, a favorite gathering place on December 31 is New York City's Times Square. Thousands of Americans and international tourists crowd this famous spot (at the intersection of Broadway and Seventh Avenue) and crane their necks to watch for 'Happy New Year' to flash across the electronically controlled sign that moves around. When the moment arrives bedlam breaks forth. Bells ring, whistles blow, people cheer with their happy excitement. 愚人节 All Fool's Day, also known as April Fool's Day, is celebrated annually on the first day of April. It is a time for the traditional playing of pranks upon unsuspecting people...the victim of such a prank being called an April Fool. The origins of this custom are somewhat uncertain, but may have initially been related to the arrival of Spring in late March, at which time Mother Nature is said to "fool" the human race with sudden and fickle changes in the weather...showers one minute and sunshine the next. The playing of practical jokes, however, dates back to Ancient Rome and such activities were an integral part of the Hilaria celebrations held on March 25, a celebration which would again appear to be associated with the coming of Spring and the Vernal Equinox, held to honor the resurrection of Attis, Roman God of Vegetation who was linked to the seasonal cycle. In England, an ancient legend states that April Fool's Day commemorates the fruitless mission of the Rook (or European Crow) which was sent out in search of land from Noah's flood-encircled ark. 感恩节 Thanksgiving is a holiday celebrated in much of North America, generally observed as an expression of gratitude, usually to God. The most common view of its origin is that it was to give thanks to God for the bounty of the autumn harvest. In the United States, the holiday is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November. In Canada, where the harvest generally ends earlier in the year, the holiday is celebrated on the second Monday in October, which is observed as Columbus Day or protested as Indigenous Peoples Day in the United States. Thanksgiving is traditionally celebrated with a feast shared among friends and family. In the United States, it is an important family holiday, and people often travel across the country to be with family members for the holiday. The Thanksgiving holiday is generally a "four-day" weekend in the United States, in which Americans are given the relevant Thursday and Friday off. Thanksgiving is almost entirely celebrated at home, unlike the Fourth of July or Christmas, which are associated with a variety of shared public experiences (fireworks, caroling, etc.) 复活节 The Date of Easter Prior to A.D. 325, Easter was variously celebrated on different days of the week, including Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. In that year, the Council of Nicaea was convened by emperor Constantine. It issued the Easter Rule which states that Easter shall be celebrated on the first Sunday that occurs after the first full moon on or after the vernal equinox. However, a caveat must be introduced here. The "full moon" in the rule is the ecclesiastical full moon, which is defined as the fourteenth day of a tabular lunation, where day 1 corresponds to the ecclesiastical New Moon. It does not always occur on the same date as the astronomical full moon. The ecclesiastical "vernal equinox" is always on March 21. Therefore, Easter must be celebrated on a Sunday between the dates of March 22 and April 25. The Easter Bunny The Easter Bunny is not a modern invention. The symbol originated with the pagan festival of Eastre. The goddess, Eastre, was worshipped by the Anglo-Saxons through her earthly symbol, the rabbit. The Germans brought the symbol of the Easter rabbit to America. It was widely ignored by other Christians until shortly after the Civil War. In fact, Easter itself was not widely celebrated in America until after that time. The Easter Egg As with the Easter Bunny and the holiday itself, the Easter Egg predates the Christian holiday of Easter. The exchange of eggs in the springtime is a custom that was centuries old when Easter was first celebrated by Christians. From the earliest times, the egg was a symbol of rebirth in most cultures. Eggs were often wrapped in gold leaf or, if you were a peasant, colored brightly by boiling them with the leaves or petals of certain flowers. Today, children hunt colored eggs and place them in Easter baskets along with the modern version of real Easter eggs -- those made of plastic or chocolate candy. 万圣节 all saint's day The vigil of this feast is popularly called "Hallowe'en" or "Halloween".] Solemnity celebrated on the first of November. It is instituted to honour all the saints, known and unknown, and, according to Urban IV, to supply any deficiencies in the faithful's celebration of saints' feasts during the year. In the early days the Christians were accustomed to solemnize the anniversary of a martyr's death for Christ at the place of martyrdom. In the fourth century, neighbouring dioceses began to interchange feasts, to transfer relics, to divide them, and to join in a common feast; as is shown by the invitation of St. Basil of Caesarea (397) to the bishops of the province of Pontus. Frequently groups of martyrs suffered on the same day, which naturally led to a joint commemoration. In the persecution of Diocletian the number of martyrs became so great that a separate day could not be assigned to each. But the Church, feeling that every martyr should be venerated, appointed a common day for all. The first trace of this we find in Antioch on the Sunday after Pentecost. We also find mention of a common day in a sermon of St. Ephrem the Syrian (373), and in the 74th homily of St. John Chrysostom (407). At first only martyrs and St. John the Baptist were honoured by a special day. Other saints were added gradually, and increased in number when a regular process of canonization was established; still, as early as 411 there is in the Chaldean Calendar a "Commemoratio Confessorum" for the Friday after Easter. In the West Boniface IV, 13 May, 609, or 610, consecrated the Pantheon in Rome to the Blessed Virgin and all the martyrs, ordering an anniversary. Gregory III (731-741) consecrated a chapel in the Basilica of St. Peter to all the saints and fixed the anniversary for 1 November. A basilica of the Apostles already existed in Rome, and its dedication was annually remembered on 1 May. Gregory IV (827-844) extended the celebration on 1 November to the entire Church. The vigil seems to have been held as early as the feast itself. The octave was added by Sixtus IV 母亲节 mother's day A mother's love is one of the most powerful forces in this world. Here are 10 memorable ways to celebrate her love this Mother's Day: 1. Create a Memory Jar. Fill a jar with slips of paper, each detailing a special memory you and your mother shared. The more specific the memories, the better. Present her with the jar, and sit beside her as she reads each memory. 2. Interview the children in your family (both young and old) on what special things they love most about their mother. Record the sentiments on video or transcribe the thoughts in a special album. You could also record special memories, favorite family recipes, her best maternal words of wisdom, or anything you want to remember about your mother. 3. Make a Blessing Book. Cover a composition book or hardbound journal with patterned papers and include photos of each of your mother's children, as well as a special pen for her to record what she is most grateful for in this world. Here are step-by-step instructions for creating a Blessing Book. 4. Help a mother in need by donating money, clothing, or other household items to organizations that help mothers and children. 5. Make a donation to your mom's favorite charity, in her name. 6. Get together with your family and friends and create handmade cards for your mom. Make sure to include a heartfelt, handwritten letter. 7. Send flowers to a new mom in celebration of her first Mother's Day. 8. Make a tablecloth memento. Start with an oversized tablecloth and some fabric pens. Ask each member of the family to sign the tablecloth with a special message to mom. Kids can make their handprints, too. This is a keepsake that you can add to each Mother's Day. 9. Write a letter to your children about how being their parent has enriched you. Save these letters in a special journal or album to give to your children when they become parents themselves. 10. Spend some time looking through your scrapbooks and reflecting on the bounty of love that comes to you via family and maternal love. 更多的可以看：）~

Spring Festival春节Chinese New Year is not celebrated on the same day each year as is the celebration which is based on the Gregorian calendar. The Chinese calendar is based on lunar-solar cycles. Five cycles of twelve years each make up the entire lunar cycle of 60 years. The calendar also divides the year into 24 solar terms, which relate to nature and are important to people close to the land. Middle Autumn Day中秋节Some countries call it Harvest Festival; there is a Harvest moon. Others note the autumnal equinox as a sign of the changing seasons. Here in China, they call it the Mid-Autumn festival, celebrated during the full moon that falls between the mid-September and mid-October. On this night of the full moon, tradition says that you sit outdoors with your family throughout the night, admiring the moon, talking, and eating special sweet cakes called Moon Cakes.
