USA Map with Chinese Characters
I found this map of the United States with Chinese Characters. I think it will be a great thing to bring along when we go to China again, to include in our daughter’s SWI Director’s present (indicating which state we live in).
Cultural Revolution History Website Link
This site gave me my first grasp on what the Cultural Revolution was and where and why it happened in China. If you’d rather browse a website than read a book, this is an excellent way to learn about a time that has greatly impacted the modern life of Chinese people today. Great information and cool photos too.
Yin Yu Tang Museum Website Link
Originally built in China, the Yin Yu Tang house (built during the late Qing dynasty period) is now part of the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem Massachusetts. This interactive site gives beautiful pictures and diagrams of the house and the way it was built.
New York Chinese Scholar’s Garden Website Link
This looked like a neat place to visit if you are in the New York vicinity. It is part of the Staten Island Botanical Garden, so for those of you who love plants you get an extra bonus.
Cultural Revolution Posters Website Link
This site is so cool. It displays several examples of propaganda posters from three distinctive time periods in the Cultural Revolution between the years of 1970 and 1979. An excellent display and very educational. I was actually able to click on the smaller images of these postersto bring up larger ones and print some of the them on my color printer. They printed pretty nicely considering that they are low resolution.
