Culture and Technology should be communicated between the USA and China
Author: angelNovember 16, 2009, Barack Obama, the President of the United States, had a conversation with China youth in Shanghai, the most prosperous city in China. The attended people include youth at the conversation spot, youth on the Internet even the all the Chinese people. Meanwhile, the conversation between the President, from the most powerful country in today’s world, and youth, from the most powerful developing country, are also concerned by American people. Under the circumstances of global financial turmoil and many challenges the mankind have to face, a few signals about future and the prospect about the world may be revealed from this conversation. Though there are many differences between the two countries such as national patterns, social consciousness, especially economic recovery policy, the themes of Obama’s speech and conversation are culture and history, which can easily arouse common views.
China is an ancient Oriental country with long history while the USA is a young country, established 200 years ago. Obviously, there is culture gap, which leads to contempt, hostility, even conflict. After years of hardships experienced, the two countries with different cultures now expect to arouse common views on cultures. It is significant for the development of the world. But we also have the point that it is unrealistic that all the gaps disappear through Obama’s trip to China and the conversation with China youth. Based on the lessons of history, more equality, more homage and more cooperation are needed.
Culture is more important than technology from the history of the mankind, we can see. Culture is not equal to the technology, what’s more, culture is the basis of technology. The source of technology innovation also comes from the culture. The technology agreed with culture can benefit the mankind while the technology deviated the culture would bring catastrophe to the mankind. World War I and World War II are the most appropriate examples of such view and the lessons of history which we should avoid.
For China, many aspects such as modern technology innovation and application should be improved. For USA, though with advanced science and technology, they should absorb modestly the culture of ancient Oriental China. Only by this way, can China and the USA become more powerful and contribute to the whole world.
There are two large ancient countries in the Orient, India and China. In their long histories of civilization, many ways of keeping healthy and fit have been developed, Yoga and Martial Arts for example, which now become world known and adopted by other people from all over the world.
Especially in China, there are many other ways to develop their physical and mental health which are not familiar to people from other countries. Today I would like to introduce two other ways of keep fit in that was popular in ancient China.
Eight trigrams boxing or section brocade
It is a very simple way which is slow and contains eight kinds of movements; each movement only uses your arms and legs. This method is very easy to do and practice. And it is important to practice section brocade with the right breathing technique. This method is often thought as a kind of Qigong. You can find videos on how to practice it on the internet easily.
Animal exercises or Five Animals Play
This method contains five movements imitating five kinds of animals, tiger, deer, bear, monkey and bird. It is also a very slow and simple method to practice, which is quite suitable for the elderly to do.
Those two methods are very simple but with a long history of more than one thousand years. And it may be difficult to explain what benefits it will bring to our health. But I am sure that it is really helpful to keep health and fit.
Don’t eat fruit
Many people like to eat apples or banana after dinner and they think those fruits can clear mouth. In fact it is a wrong habit of life and it is harm to your digestive function. It will take one to two hours to digest the food we eat. So fruits can’t be digested well.
Don’t smoke
I know a lot of my friends that they think it is a pleasure experience to have a cigarette after dinner. Actually smoking has a great effect on your health especially after dinner. And in this situation you will take in more harmful substances than usual.
Don’t drink too much water
Too much water after dinner will dilute the gastric juice in your stomach. And the foods will go to small intestine before they are digested well. And sometimes it will arise some stomach diseases. Some drinks like Cola are even more harmful.
Don’t have strong tea
Tea contains a large amount of tannin which will prevent your stomach from taking in protein. Also substances in the tea can stop the stomach from taking in iron element which will lead to iron-deficiency anemia.
Don’t drive after dinner
Dinner will make you want to sleep. So it is dangerous for you to drive at a very high speed. One hour after your dinner will be suited for driving.

One day, an expert in time-management was speaking to a group of business students, and to drive home a point, he used an illustration those students will never forget.
As he stood in front of the group of high-power over achievers, he said, “Okay, time for a quiz.” He then pulled out a one-gallon, wide –mouth masonry jar and set it on the table in front of him. Then he produced about a dozen fist-sized rocks and carefully placed them, one by one, into the jar.
When the jar was filled to top and no more rocks would fit inside, he asked, “Is this jar full?” Everyone in the class said, “Yes.”
Then he said, “Really?” He reached under the table and pulled out a bucket of gravel.
Then he dumped some gravel in and shook the jar, causing pieces of gravel to work themselves down into the space between the big rock. Then he asked the group once more. “Is this jar full now?” By this time the class was on to him. “Probably not,” one of them answered. “Good!”he replied.
He reached under the table and brought out a bucket of sand. He started dumping the sand in the jar and it went into all the pieces left between the rocks and the gravel. Once again, he said, “Good!” Then he grabbed a picture of water and began to pour it in until the jar was filled to the brim.
Then the expert in time-management looked at the class and asked, “What is the point of this illustration?” One eager beaver raised his hand and said, “The point is, no matter how full your schedule is, if you try really hard you can always fit some more things into it.”
“No,” the speaker replied, “that’s not the point. The truth this illustration teaches us is this: If you don’t put the big rocks in first, you will never get them in at all. What are the big rocks in your life? Your children, your spouse, your loved ones, your friendship, your education, your dreams, a worthy cause. Teaching or mentoring others? Doing things that you love, Time for yourself, your health. Remember to put these BIG ROCKS first, or your will never put them in at all. If your sweat the little stuff(i.e. gravel, the sand)then you will fill your life with little things you will never have the real quality time you need to spend on the big, important stuff(the big rocks). So , tonight, or in the morning, when you are reflecting on this short story, ask yourself this question: what are the ‘big rocks’ in my life? Then put those in your jar first.”
