2013-11-1 4My view on the four ancient civilizations The ancient civilizations are the basis of the world as we know it today and they built on the ruins of 10,000 years of advanced cultures such as the Greek, Roman ,Indus, Egyption and others that we know primarily through archaeology and some written records.As we all know in history of mankind there appeared the Mesoptamian civilization in west Aisa ,the ancient Egyption civilization along the Nile in north Africa,the ancient Greek-Roman civilization along the northern bank of the Mediterranean, the ancient Indian civilization in Indus River vally in south Asia ,and the Chinese civilization originating in the Yellow and Yangtze River valleys.We have always been curious about them and they seemed to be full of mysterious colors.Of course ,they all have very significent effects on human history. They have many similarities. They all originated along rivers, where natural and geographical conditions are more favorable.In particular,the rivers provide the fertile flood plains and favorable irrigation conditions which greatly promoted the development of agriculture,science and technology , and all these helped to create a great ancient civilization.In my opinion ,the four ancient civilizations are interdependent and interactive but they also respectively have different stresses.Compared with the ancient Greek-Roman civilization and the Chinese civilization, both Mesoptamia and the ancient Egypt civilization’s contribution mainly in social material shape aspect although they also achieved the great achievement in the social consciousness shape aspect..Mesoptamia ,the Greek name for the land between the two Rivers, is the cradle of human civilization ,where the Sumerian, Akkadian,Babylonian,and Assyrian cultures flourished and where the Hebrew myths were born.It got noticeable achievement in writing, astronomy and calendar, mathematics and mathematics . With the development of Agriculture ,the city as the civilized symbol started to appear.The Sumerians invented the cuneiform which was regarded as the earlist scripts in human history. And the ancient Egyptian created the hiervoglyph.Both of them left us the precious written record materials. Mesoptamia also produced the hammurabicode, the first law in the history. Sumerians established the first schools and libraries. It also had great artistic achievement especially in architecture and statuary, such as the Babylonian city and hanging gardens of babylon. As an ancient civilization ,the Egypt civilization is also incomparable and glorious .It also had great achievement in architecture , statuary and painting.For example,the pyramids of Egypt is one of the Seven Wonders of the world . The two civilization. mainly dealt with nature more than with man.In contrast, the ancient Greek-Roman civilization and the Chinese civilization have more influence on social ideology.The two civilization ,born in different geographical areas, developing in parallel.Both of them dealt with “MAN”more than with nature.The ancient Greeks is the cradle of western civilization .All the embryos2013-11-1 4of modern Western civilization: the political system, philosophy, literature and art style and the concept of democracy all of these were pregnanted at the ancient Greek civilization. The ancient Greek civilization had great achievement in rationality,ethics and logic.Chinese civilization has a unique position in the world representing the longest continuous succession of civilized states in the world.It brought light to the Far East and the whole of Asia ,as Greek thought brought light to the west . Although now there are some discussions about whether China can be considered as one of the four ancient civilizations ,we must admit that Chinese civilization especially its Confucianism has great effect on the world.Despite the different emphases, the excellent and splendid achievements created by the four ancient civilizations have made significant contributions to the history of human civilization.。

1、狮舞是中国最广为流传的民间舞蹈之一。

狮为百兽之首，在中国传统中，狮子被视为是能带来好运的吉祥物（mascot）。

古人将狮子视作是勇敢和力量的化身，能驱赶邪恶、保护人类。

据记载，狮舞已拥有了2,000多年的历史。

在唐代，狮舞就已经被引入了皇室。

因此，舞狮成为元宵节和其他节日的习俗，人们以此来祈祷好运、平安和幸福。

The Lion Dance is one of the most widespread folk dances in China. The lion is the king of animals. In Chinese tradition, the lion is regarded as a mascot, which can bring good luck. Ancient people regarded the lion as a symbol of braveness and strength, which could drive away evil and protect humans. The dance has a recorded history of more than 2,000 years. During the Tang Dynasty, the Lion Dance was already introduced into the royal family of the dynasty. Therefore, performing the lion dance at the Lantern Festival and other festive occasions became a custom where people could pray for good luck, safety and happiness.2、端午节，又叫龙舟节，是为了纪念爱国诗人屈原。

屈原是一位忠诚和受人敬仰的大臣（minister）,他给国家带来了和平和繁荣。

What are the four ancient civilizationsThere were few flights to Athens, and the holiday was bad, and the flight was booked from Rome, Italy, to Athens. After travelling in Rome, I took a flight from the Olympian airlines of Greece, left the peninsula and flew to Athens. The voyage is about a thousand kilometers and a half hour flight. Near Athens, looked from the plane, tend to be here in the mountains and hills, there are pieces of neat farmland, blue sea water, the city's houses dotted, don't see there are special. But the thought that this was Athens, representing the ancient Greek civilization, was a place of reverence.The ancient Greek civilization had a great influence on the later world, and the evaluation of it was more than that. Relative to other differences between many arguments and evaluation of an ancient civilization, ancient Greek civilization is more like a "art" of morality, intelligence and physique good metals.it juvenile ", received high praise from most of the earth. But for such a splendid civilization, I know it is late. Because the education I grew up with was "the four great civilizations of the world, Egypt, Babylon, India and China," and sadly, no Greece.Chinese vocabulary has a lot of the "big four", such as the four great inventions, four great classical novels, four big beautiful women, four big cuisines, and even literature in four big lobsterman, four of the wicked, and so on. In my youth, the four ancient civilizations were like the four masters of martial arts in the novels of wuxia, and the deeper and deeper the internal forces, the higher the kung fu. It is a glorious thing that our motherland can be among them. Over time, however,the concept created a problem. I gradually discovered that China was a little bit different from the rest of The Three Kingdoms, and closer to the ancient greeks. Why not say "the five great civilizations"?The words of the four ancient civilizations were not as good as they were, but they were vague and unkind. "The book says", "generally speaking", the idea of such a way as to travel between the official and the private, the details of the context are not very clear. In fact, it was originally from the west, because it was impossible for China to form such an understanding of history. In the 19th century, a single European history scholars brought the ancient Greek civilization, and the two river, the Nile, four are born in the Yellow River, the Ganges river near the ancient civilizations region to (at the time the Indus civilization have yet to be discovered), called the four major early civilizations, literal translation for "four main early civilizations", referred to as the "big four" civilization. Later, it was introduced into the country and was first mentioned in the Chinese language by the famous scholar liang qichao (1873-1929), the ancient civilization of the four ancient civilizations.After the failure of the 1898 reform law, liang qichao went into exile in Japan and wrote a long poem called "the Pacific song of the 20th century" on January 30, 1900. Liang qichao put forward human civilization through three times: the first is "civilization", the second is "inland sea civilization era", the third is for the "ocean civilization era". Reading the whole poem, it can be found that this is a lyric poem, the words are not rigorous, and because of the author's knowledge limitation,can be said wrong quite a lot.About four civilization GuGuoShi is written like this: "shina India following to wall, rest on the other side of the neighboring Egypt. Jue name river era, the first age ChengJianBang beginning to take off the line countries. (the author note: hou guan kindred decides the rest of Asia minor or han, from today.) (the earth four ancient civilized country, China, India, Egypt and Asia minor.)"In this article, yan shi is a translator. After reading these sentences, we can know the Chinese history of the so-called "big four", in which Asia minor is replaced by the rest of the world, apparently for the sake of words. But the "rest of the han" is the patthias, a region mainly of present-day Iran, which is late. Asia minor is Anatolia peninsula, is the Asian part of Turkey, now also have early civilizations, and geographic space with the ancient Babylon, the latter in two river basin. Liang put the Mediterranean civilization into the second period, along with the Baltic sea, the Arabian sea and the yellow sea and the bohai sea. First of all the Atlantic ocean,The twentieth century should be in the Pacific.The analysis of liang qichao said if breadth not wholly, especially the last about the imagination of the Pacific century is proactive, than one hundred years before the present formulation. But there is a lot of inaccuracy. Such as China's bohai sea, yellow sea until the end of the qing dynasty also did not form "inland sea", is just the extension of "civilization", so comprehensive analysis and generalizationof liang qichao is questionable. Liang qichao as a scholar, see the country being one, by the foreign powers reproach, hoping to reform as soon as possible, reform plan, write poetry lyric, motivate people, moving. What is more, the scholar feng youlan wrote in the 1946 "the monumental inscription of the great southwest," that the king and the great powers are new and not ancient; Greece, Rome, is ancient and not present. But my country is old and new. As an article of victory in the war of resistance, it is still a very hot day to read today. But if you look at it carefully and calmly analyze it, it's a bit of an unkind conclusion.All the good things in the world love to hear, the name of "the four great civilizations" is ringing, and it forces the west. There is a lot of similar thinking, and the need for spiritual sustenance. But although it is widely circulated, the source is rarely mentioned, and the reason is quite vague. In addition to the academic rigour, the word "pivot" is used to refer to China, which may be the main reason why people don't want to cite it.The word "branch" is Sanskrit, referring to China, which was used by the Japanese character of the Japanese character, which was not derogatory. In ancient China, when we talked about the concept of the state, we used the national Numbers, such as han tang and song Ming, and did not cover any specific vocabulary that was widely used by the dynasties. After the middle of the 19th century, the word "China" was slowly used to refer to the whole territory of the country, not to use it. But at the same time, because of the enormous influence of modern Japan on China, the word "pivot" is widely used, otherwise it will never appearin liang qichao's poem. Another example, September 27, 1929, Shanghai logout "shenbao" MAO zedong died, patriarch of the republic of China LiuYaZi wrote a poem: "god peak head's tomb, grass green, hunan red signs are vertical and horizontal. The world has the original Hugh asked, and was the two Lenin." "Two Lenin, sun yat-sen and comrade MAO zedong," liu said at the end of the poem. Liu ya-zi was a patriotic poet and was also used in the poem by the word "supporting". But soon after that, the incident broke out, and the china-japan relations escalated into a vicious escalation, and the two countries turned to the war of resistance against Japan. The founding of the republic of China for many years, has the word "China" is commonly used, but Japan still call China with "ridiculous", has a significantly negative things, became the insult of appellation. Until now, the term was still sensitive, and Japanese officials had not used it. During the quarrel between the two countries, one side "China" immediately became "the branch", and the other side "small Japan", "the Japanese" and other words corresponding, did not suffer a loss.The concept of a country is so different that it can't be hardened by the present understanding. Therefore, it is believed that the ancient civilization should be used to express the early civilization, and the word "country" should be used with caution. In fact, in addition to ancient Egypt, other ancient civilizations were difficult to call the single "state" in the early days of the ancient world, such as the fact that it was impossible to cover two rivers of civilization. The two river civilization is a common saying, also called mesopotamian civilization. In fact, there are two river basins in this ancient civilization, including the Jordan river basin,and the west is known as crescent land. India and China, which have long since extended their language, are apt to use the country's appellation as a habit and not to change. But it should be recognized that this is just a reverse extension of later habits. At home, the four civilizations are often mixed with the four ancient civilizations, but the former is more important than the other countries. However, from liang qichao, the ancient civilization was understood by the modern concept of the state.From the archaeological excavations, the text is marked by text.Six, the birthplace of the early human civilization with two river basin (cuneiform), the Nile basin (hieroglyphs), the Indus valley seals (text), (linear) surrounding the Aegean sea, the Yellow River basin (oracle), the Ganges river (the ancient Sanskrit). Except for the stamp, most of the other words are now recognisable.

Unit 1 Book 4剪纸剪纸又叫刻纸，窗花或剪画。

剪纸在纸的发明之前就已经流行，当时人们运用金箔，绢帛，皮革等片状材料，通过镂空雕刻的技法制成工艺品。

汉代（前206-公元220），纸张的发明促使了剪纸的发展与普及。

民间剪纸的题材多来源于现实生活，充满纳福迎祥的主题，表达对美好生活的向往。

Paper cutting (otherwise known as jianzhi) is also called kezhi, chuanghua or jianhua. Paper cuttin g was popular even before paper was invented. When there was no paper, people carved on gold leaf, silk , feathers , and so on, with a carving technique known as hollow-cutting to make handicr afts. In the Han Dynasty(206BC-220AD), the invention of paper promoted the development and p opularity of paper-cutting. The folk themes of the paper-cutting are rooted in real life, filled with t he themes of enjoying a life of ease and comfort, and expressing the desire for a happy life.Unit 2 Book 4儒家思想儒家思想也称为儒学，由春秋（前770-前476）末期伟大的思想家、教育家孔子所创立。

历代代表人物有孟子、董仲舒、朱熹、王阳明等。

Unit One中庸思想（Doctrine of the Mean ）是儒家思想的核心内容。

孔子所谓的“中” 不是指“折中”，而是指在认识和处理客观事物的一种“适度”和“恰如其分”的方法。

孔子主张不仅要把思想作为一种认识和处理事物的方法来看待，而且还应该通过自身修养和锻炼，把它融入自己的日常行为当中，使之成为一种美德。

中庸思想是儒家思想的核心，也是中国传统文化的重要组成部分。

The Doctrine of Mean is the core of Confucius. The so called“ mean” by Confucius doesn’compromise but a “ moderate and” “ just-right way”when understanding and handling objectivethings. Confucius advocated that this thought should not only be treated as a way to understandand deal with things but also be integrated into one’s daily conduct to make it a virtue throughself-cultivation and training. The Doctrine of the Mean is not only the core of Confucianism butalso an important component of traditional Chinese culture.Unit Two中国的四大名著是指《三国演义》（ Romance of the Three Kingdoms ）、《水浒传》（ Outlaws ofthe Marsh ）、《西游记》（ Journey to the West ）和《红楼梦》（ A Dream of Red Mansions）四部著名小说。

精心整理英语发展简史在罗马人入侵英格兰之前﹐来自欧洲地区的凯尔特人(Celts﹕属于今天苏格兰﹐爱尔兰人和威尔士人的祖先)已经在英伦列岛居住多年。

罗马人自公元前55年代开始﹐发动对英格兰的入侵﹐但直到公元43年才完全征服英格兰﹐自罗马人入侵到公元410年撤出英格兰﹐罗马人已经在英格兰盘居长达四百年之久。

在罗马人离开后﹐来自欧洲西日耳曼部落‘Angelen’地区的盎格鲁人(Angles)﹑其它部落的撒克逊人(Saxon)﹑朱特人(Jutes)和弗里斯兰人(Frisian)开始跨海西迁进入英格兰地区(英语中的‘English’就是出自古词‘englisc’﹐‘englise’中的‘Engle’表示‘theAngles’﹐即是‘盎格鲁人’的意思)﹐并与当地的凯尔特人(Celts)为争寻土地发生了长期的战争﹐经历几代后也续渐在英格兰各处定居下来。

凯尔特人(Celts)的国王Arthur在Celts与日耳曼人之间长久的战争中﹐虽然曾一度与日耳曼停战﹐但最终凯尔特人还是不敌日耳曼人而被驱赶到今天的爱尔兰﹑威尔士和马恩(Man)岛地区﹐日耳曼人称威尔士地区的Celts为‘wealas’意即外国人﹐‘Welsh’因此除此之外﹐如以-by作为地区名称的字尾﹕-by:表示‘城填’town﹐例如‘Derby,Rugby’-thorp:表示‘村庄’village﹐例如‘Althorp’-thwaite:表示‘孤立的土地’-toft:表示‘一块土地’从公元750-1050年间,来自北欧日耳曼部落的维京人(Virkings)(也属于丹麦娜威人)一直攻击英格兰﹐并在公元1016年﹐丹麦国王KingSvein还加冕成为了英格兰国王。

到了1042﹐英国人EwardtheConfessor才把王位从丹麦人手中夺回来。

以上是古英语时期的英格兰历史﹐在这段时期中﹐英格兰主要遭到了北方日耳曼人的不断入侵并定居下来成为了英国人的一部份。

之后的日耳曼人的入侵﹐主要分为Danes和Nores两个时期。
