Passage IV
Millions of foreigners,overseas Chinese,Taiwan compatriots visit China on business,for sightseeing or exchanges in the fields of economy,trade,sports,science,and culture.Many of them return home loaded with souvenirs.In fact they cannot be tempted to do any shopping.China offers a dazzling range of goods from antiques to chopsticks,kites and snuff-boxes.China's arts and crafts are well-known for their long history and uniqueness.
Porcelain is perhaps the greatest invention of the Chinese people.During the New Stone Age 8000 years ago,the Chinese began making earthenware with clay.Today,in addition to inheriting traditional methods,Chinese ceramists are developing many new techniques.
Many tourists are interested in some special local crafts such as clay figurines in Wuxi,bamboo ware in Chengdu,Sandalwood fans in Suzhou and shell-carvings in Qingdao.All in all,China is not only a country with a long history of culture and art,but also a shopper's paradise.
Part V
Like many other ancient cultures,China possesses an impressive and celebrated literary heritage.The master poets of the medieval Tang Dynasty (618-907),for example,are rightfully known as some of the world's best lyric poets; the adventures of the Monkey King and his company-as told in the classical Chinese narrative Journey to the West-have achieved a global following.
It was therefore surprising and somewhat disappointing that,upon coming to China to teach writing at a university in mid-2006,I discovered that the average Chinese learner was far more interested in King Kong than the subtle yet profoundly insightful poetry of the Tang Dynasty genius Li Bai; or that when I mentioned Mulan,I was told some trivia or other about a Disney animated adaptation of the story.Have the Chinese-especially the youth-lost all interest in the literary masterpieces of their own language as a result of the rapacious onslaught of popcorn Western culture?

我辛苦写的,
数以万计的外国人、华侨、台湾同胞,为了观光或交流领域的经济、贸易、体育、科技、文化访问中国.他们中的许多人装满了纪念品回家.事实上他们根本无法忍受逛街的诱惑.中国提供各种各样的商品,从令人眼花缭乱的古董,筷子,风筝到烟花盒.（再说了,）中国的手工艺品是因悠久的历史和独特之处而出名.
瓷器也许是在中国人民的心中最伟大的发明.在新石器时代8000年前,中国就开始用泥土制作陶器.今天,除了继承传统方法外,中国陶艺家也发明了许多新技术.
许多游客对一些特殊的当地手工艺品感兴趣,例如无锡的粘土雕像,、成都的竹木制品、苏州的檀香球迷和青岛的贝壳雕刻.
总之,中国不仅是一个历史悠久的国家文化艺术,还是购物者的天堂.
第五部分
像其他许多古代文化一样,中国拥有一个令人印象深刻的和有名望的文学遗产.
例如中世纪的唐代大诗人(618-907),他们理所应当被称为世界上最好的抒情诗人;《西游记》中的孙悟空在中国古典叙事的旅程中被称为是全球性的追随者.
为此,有点令人惊讶同时也令人失望,在2006年中期,在来中国一所大学教写作时,我发现,大多数中国学习者比起对在诗歌方面拥有深刻洞察力的唐朝天才李白更加对金刚感兴趣;或者,当我提到木兰,有人却告诉我一些琐事或其他一些迪斯尼动画改编的故事.难道中国的特殊的文学文化和语言因为西方文化爆米花般的冲击而在消失吗?
