• Some say China is one of the oldest
  civilizations in the world. In fact, many of
  todays modern wonders sprang from this ancient
  place. Calligraphy, oriental music and The Great
  Wall of China are just a few of these.

• To begin with, a lot of todays music comes from
  China. If youve ever heard the pentatonic scale,
  then youve heard Chinese music in action. This
  scale actually originated in China. The flute,
  lute, gong, and cymbals also came from China.

• Calligraphy is also a purely Chinese invention.
  It is an art of writing with brush and ink that
  they came up with, where each combination of
  brush strokes stands for a word.

• Finally, The Great Wall of China is probably the
  best known monument of this age-old country. It
  started being built around 500 BC to keep out
  invaders and now stretches over 3,300 miles along
  Chinas border.

• Learning about China is exciting! One of the
  best things is you can see its impact everywhere.
  Whether youre listening to music, learning about
  writing or traversing the great wall, China has
  changed the face of the earth.
