An Exploration of China from a Physical Educator’s View

To emphasize that physical development is not just through diet alone, students will be provided a lecture on a typical Asian diet. This will be conducted using a power point presentation with discussion with specific examples provided by the instructor’s reflections on a prior visit to China. An exploration of diet will include an explanation of what are the primary components of breakfast, lunch, and supper in Japan, China and Korea.

Students will have the opportunity to write a reflective paper on the experience from either a nutrition, gamesmanship or their experience with Tai Chi.

China's national flag was adopted in September, 1949. This flag was first flown in Tiananmen Square on October 1, 1949 - the day of the founding of the People's Republic of China. The rectangular flag has a red field with five golden-yellow stars (each with five points) in the upper left corner. The star on the left is larger than the other four. The red color of the flag symbolizes revolution.

The Temple of Heaven is a worthwhile visiting place in Beijing. It is much bigger than the Forbidden City and smaller than the Summer Palace with an area of about 2,700,000 square meters. The Temple was built in 1420 A.D. during the Ming Dynasty to offer sacrifice to Heaven. As Chinese emperors called themselves 'The Son of Heaven' ,they dared not to build their own dwelling,'Forbidden City' bigger than a dwelling for Heaven.
