Chinese History and important events
China is a historic country.It has a rich history thats turbulent. For the passing 2,000 years it has been ruled by foreign powers , had constant battles over land and power, was segregated into smaller states with minimal national control, had rebellion after rebellion for freedoms, had leaders who started for the people but ended up like imperialists once power became them, had the western powers trying to trade anything for a piece of its richness and finally required like the rebellions that had so failed before the common people together to make one nation again and then over 50 years of having started again has returned to its place as the Middle Kingdom, developing at an impressive rate but with an attitude of common understanding and peaceful resolutions whilst ensuring that no insurgency happens again. Below, there are links on general chinese history and then the highlighted parts are predominantly from Wikipedia of what we consider key bits to know . The rebellions are noted given that often there is interplay with so called "martial arts" of the time.

Chinese Language
There are about 40,000 characters in Chinese written language, of those about 10,000 are actually applied in common times and knowledge of 4,000 characters is enough to get by on. If the characters were not difficult enough there are hundreds of dialects, the key dialect groups include Wu (of which subsets like Hu (Shanghainese), Suzhou and Wuxi are example derivatives), Min split into Minbei (Min Dong, Min Zhong and Puxian) from Fuzhou areas (North Fujian) and Min Nan (South Fujian) which includes Hokkien, Amoy, Hainanese and Teochew, the there is Gan Northern (south Anhui, north Jiangxi) and Southern Gan (south Jiangxi and Some of Guangdon) and Hakka, Then there is Yue (Cantonese, Toi San Wah, Peng Wah) and Mandarin (which there are variations like in Dongbe, Zhongyuan (central Plains), Beijinghua and then standard Mandarin. Then noting that on top of the script and dialects, chinese is a tonal language where tones (excluding neutral tones) like there are 4 (Mandarin), 7 (Hokkien) and 9 (Cantonese) as examples. Then Wu dialects have a base of 5 tones, but with dynamic changes so that the pitch high or low can play a part. With so much tonal works no wonder Chinese can sound noisy, speak up or we may not catch watch you are saying. Now to make this even more interesting what most people recognise as Chinese (Han), in China there are another 55 or more ethnic nationalities (Zhuang, Manchu, Hui, Miao, Uyghur, Tujia, Yi, etc), they have their own complete languages again (some have lost script and adopted chinese characters). In this section we also give links to tools that can help with chinese language and some elearning sites as well. Why all the chinese - well some very local styles only make sense in their own dialect so knowing mandarin would not be always sufficient to grasp what the local village master is trying to convey.

Chinese Geography and Anthropology
With so much history and so many cultures, where to begin to understand a country like China. Well the next category in the article is about places and our focus is on a Capitals of Empires (often holds aspects unique to those empires of the past and thus history/culture etc) and then places of historical significance, these could be from our perspective relating to maybe religions (mountains), martial arts or even some spectacular natural wonder or beauty. Lastly, some rare places now recognised as "wushu zhi xiang" (villages/places with a high concentration of martial arts practice), which is a popular destination whenever we have time to go to China. Now again the list by no means exhaustive but more of a bit of flavor to get you started, the rest hopefully youll explore by your own interest later. If you have questions about specific styles and their potential "Wushu Zhi Xiang", please email to us and we will try to help out, as we are pretty well versed with such areas.
