A community portal about Culture of China with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: The culture of China is the result of 5,000 years of artistic, philosophical, and political advancement. Though regional differences provide a sense of diversity, commonalities in language and religion connect a culture distinguished by such contributions as Confucianism and Taoism. Confucianism was the official philosophy throughout most of Imperial China's history, and traditional Chinese culture is heavily influenced by it.

Back in AD 132, in the ancient capital of Jing Shi ( present day Luoyang in Henan Province) of Eastern Han Dynasty, news broke out that an official by the name of Zhang Heng (张衡) invented a mechanical machine that was capable of predicting the time and location of earthquakes. Many people did not believe him at that time.
