Chinese civilization began around 6,000 B.C. Fortune cookies are not Chinese They were invented in San Francsco in 1920. The Chinese invented toilet paper in the late 1300s. Only emperors could use it. Other Chinese inventions are paper, the compass, gunpowder, the crossbow, printing, ice-cream, the water-wheel, the number zero, the decimal system, stirrups, suspension bridges and kites. China only has one time zone. Ping-pong is not Chinese. It came from Britain. The number one hobby in China is stamp collecting. White is colour of mourning and funerals. The Chinese drilled for and used natural gas as a heat source 2,300 years before the West did. Around 200 B.C., the Chinese discovered that the heart pumped blood throughout the body. William Harvey didn’t discover this until the 17th century A.D. The Three Gorges hydroelectric dam on the Yangtze river is the largest in the world. The Chinese consider their New Year or Lunar New Year as everyone’s birthday. Even yours. Red symbolizes happiness. The Grand Canal in China is 1,114 miles long, the longest canal in the world. At $US 40 billion, the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing were the most expensive games in history.
