The Han emperor, Wudi, needed allies to guard against threat from a strong neighbor. So in 119 B.C. Wudi sent Zhang Qian to form an alliance.

Zhang Qian's travels took him toward India. When Zhang Qian returned and told Emperor Wudi of what he had seen in these western states. He was sent back with a large delegation and items to trade. Silk was an immediate hit.

KONGFU PAINTING AND CALLIGRAPHY

Chinese Kongfu is classified into various styles according to di� erent regions, di� erent schools and families, as well as different fighting techniques. There are two most famous Kongfu scenic spots: Shaolin Temple in Henan Province and Wudang Mountain in Hubei Province.

Chinese painting and calligraphy has a long history.

Chinese characters evolved from pictures and signs, and the Chinese art of calligraphy developed naturally from its unique writing system. Through the ages, great calligraphers developed representative calligraphic styles of their times.

The roots of Chinese painting can be traced back to paintings on Neolithic pottery six or seven thousand years ago. Since similar tools and lines were used for the earliest painting and writing, painting is said to have the same origin as calligraphy. Thus, Chinese paintings usually integrate poetry or calligraphy with themes that include figures, landscapes, flowers, birds and other animals.

The Shaolin Monastery or Shaolin Temple is long famous for its association with Chinese martial arts and particularly with Shaolin Kongfu. Of the tens of thousands of Kongfu and wushu styles, several hundred have some relationship to Shaolin.

In years past, the mountains of Wudang were known as an academic centre for the research, teaching and practice of Chinese martial arts. Wudang Taiji, also known as shadowboxing, is another major division of Chinese martial art. Now it becomes a practice that promotes relaxation and relieving stress.

HAN COSTUME TRADITIONALCHINESE MEDICINEHan costume or Hanfu is the traditional dress

of Han nationality in China. Han costume has a history of more than three millennia. From the beginning of its history, Han costume (especially in elite circles) was inseparable from silk.

With a history of 2000 to 3000 years, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has formed a unique system to diagnose and cure illness. The TCM approach is fundamentally di� erent from that of Western medicine.

In TCM, the understanding of the human body is based on the holistic understanding of the universe as described in Daoism, and the treatment of illness is based primarily on the diagnosis and di� erentiation of syndromes.

The TCM approach treats Zang-Fu organs as the core of the human body. Tissue and organs are connected through a network of channels and blood vessels inside human body.

Acupuncture is a technique of inserting and manipulating � ne needles into speci� c points on the body with the aim of relieving pain and for therapeutic purposes. According to traditional Chinese acupuncture theory, these acupuncture points lie along meridians along which Qi, the vital energy, � ows.

A complete Han costume garment is assembled from several pieces of clothing into an output:

Yi (衣): Any open cross-collar garment, and worn by both sexes

Pao (袍): Any closed full-body garment, worn only by men in Han costume

Ru (襦): Open cross-collar shirt

Shan (衫): Open cross-collar shirt or jacket that is worn over the Yi

Qun (裙) or Chang (裳): Skirt for women and men

Ku (裤): Trousers or pants

People are also able to accessorize with tassels and jade pendants or various ornaments hung from the belt or sash, known as Pei (珮).

PORCELAINPorcelain is generally believed to have originated in China. Porcelain manufactured during the Tang Dynasty period (618–906) was exported to the Islamic world, where it was highly prized. By the Sui (about 580 AD) and Tang (about 620 AD) dynasties, porcelain had become widely produced.

How to make porcelain?

Firing

In this process, green (unfired) ceramic ware is heated to high temperatures in a kiln to permanently set their shapes. Porcelain is � red at a higher temperature than earthenware so that the body can vitrify and become non-porous.

Forming

Pottery can be produced in three basic forming traditions: handwork, wheel work, and slip casting. It’s very common for wheel-worked pieces to be � nished by handwork techniques. Glazing

Unlike their lower-� red counterparts, porcelain ware does not need glazing to render them impermeable to liquids and for the most parts are glazed for decorative purposes and to make them resistant to dirt and staining.

Decoration

Porcelain ware may be decorated with under glaze using pigments that include cobalt and copper or over glaze using coloured enamels.

Porcelain Capital: Jingdezhen

Jingdezhen is located in J iangxi Province. Jingdezhen's porcelain has been famous not only in China but also in other countries. It became known internationally for being "as thin as paper, as white as jade, as bright as a mirror, and as sound as a bell". Jingdezhen's natural resources include kaolin, coal, manganese, and lime, but it is the kaolin that has made the city famous in China and the world. For over a millennium, its unique kaolin has enabled Jingdezhen to make high-quality porcelain.

TEXTILEChina is one of the earliest countries in the world to begin the production of textiles. According to legends, the Yellow Emperor's wife Lei Zu invented the textile technology.

From the Xia Dynasty to the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period, textile technology experienced great development. Through long-term refinement, the combination textile tools evolved into primitive reeling machines, spinning wheels and looms.

Compared with modern textile machines, with the exception of power intensity, spindle number and running speed, China’s ancient textile machinery operated basically on the same principle in terms of either machine structure or power transmission.

The Nanjing "Yunjin" silk brocade is one of the three brocades well-known in China and abroad. Its elegant and re� ned design with beautiful colors makes it look like clouds in the sky. So it's named "Yunjin"(cloud brocade or cloud silk).

Finding manufacturing partners,keeping it SIMPLE and SAFE

How to protect my IP Rights?

Register your intellectual property right(s) (IP rights) under your country's law. You can protect your Logo(s) and Slogan(s) under the Chinese Anti Unfair Competition Law. Try to register your IPR(s) in China as well. Small and medium enterprises should therefore always use written agreements addressing the issues surrounding know-how, trademarks, IPR, non-competition and con� dentiality.

How to make sure my supplier is an authorized reseller?

Contact the owner of the brand to con� rm if they are an authorized reseller.

How to protect trade secrets and processes?

When outsourcing manufacturers you may consider separating your designs, ideas and know-how amongst various manufacturers to ensure that no one manufacturer is able to steal your trade secrets and know-how. This works like a puzzle, distributing each single piece to another location to eliminate the chances of putting the pieces all together.

How to assure product quality?

Sometimes a buyer may receive poor quality products after payment has been made, but the supplier refuses to compensate the importer or does not even respond to complaints. Sometimes a supplier may send

high quality samples to the buyer but the quality of the real end product is very poor. In order to avoid poor quality, you should undertake quality and inspection before ordering, during the production process and just before the shipment leaves.

What precautions should I take before making the � nal payment?

You should use the services of a credit institution that checks the background of manufacturers before you make your final payment. Always remember: No final payments unless you are certain you will receive the goods.

What has to be done if the suppliers do not deliver goods?

When failed in communicating with the supplier, keep a record of contact emails, payment bills and other valid documents to report the case to the police and also voice a complaint to local trade committee or department of commerce.

When should I be suspicious?

If the supplier avoids giving you substantive information about its company. They may act excited but vague, emphasizing what a great opportunity this is for you. The supplier asks you for up-front payment. If they request payment options other than Letter of Credit, T/T or Western Union.

How do I structure the relationship with my China sourcing partner?

S o m e c o m p a n i e s u s e a f u l l - s e r v i c e China sourcing agent and others set up

a representative office to manage China sourcing operations. You can also � nd quality Chinese manufacturers online or on trade fairs.

How to make sure goods brought into my country meet all national regulatory requirements?

Goods that don't meet requirements can be stopped at the border or result in future legal suits. It is highly recommended to consult a good customs broker before placing any orders.

Why is it best to see the factory for myself?

Good relationships (or guanxi in Chinese) play a crucial role in business in China, so it is advisable to meet the suppliers before placing an order. And you can inspect manufacturing areas to get an idea of raw material quality, workers’ skills, production capabilities and the internal QC process of the manufacturer.

How about after-sale service of Chinese suppliers?

At present, a lot of excellent Chinese suppliers provide comprehensive after-sale service, set up repair centers overseas or authorize cooperation partners to offer after-sale service. It includes consultation, products maintenance, accessories replacement, etc.

Examples of fraud.

Trading with fake companies. Fake check scams. Poor product quality. Sometimes buyers send free samples to suppliers but they are not the same as the � nal delivered products.

Should I be wary of over generous o� ers?

Yes, be wary of potential partners who offer an especially high or low price. It is easy to be tempted by such offers, but they are often attempts of fraud. In business, the expression "you get what you pay for" is often painfully true. Be especially diligent to check the contact information, identification and any claims a suspicious trade partner makes. If it sounds unbelievable, it probably is.

Is there any possibility that some 'fraud' may not actually be fraud?
