Learning Chinese with culture and traditional practices integrated to deepen student learning and strengthen class engagement can be very effective. Even as a native speaker, there is so much to learn about my own culture and with every single new idea come across, I find myself more interested, as well as proud, of the wealthy background that I have inherited with my Chinese identity and ability in its languages.

Ideologies and philosophies are all integrated into the education received through Chinese. The learning of Confucianism and Daoism, as well as the the rich endowment of the ability to embrace differences and respect others, comes so naturally with studying literature and languages of Chinese, through which values are well preserved and inherited. Because of the uniqueness of Chinese languages, values and perspectives of Chinese people are also unique and complex to be understood by people who don't know either the culture or the language well.

Chinese culture is enriched by its long history accompanied by many of the philosophers and their schools of teaching, a great range of traditions and social events/practices, a good preservation of a variety of languages and dialects, and the ever ongoing development and changes of  cultural dynamics and interactions between sub-cultural groups and communities. Aesthetics may have changed over the years and new ideas may have come to be, but the appreciation for a better interpersonal understanding and respect, a value for collaboration and equity have always been at the core of Chinese people and their culture.

The beauty of Chinese comes in all the ways imaginable. From the structure of the square-shaped characters to the complex yet simple syntax and semantics. Every single character has a story that can be traced back by thousands of years into the history. The idioms, in particular. are deep rooted into the rich soil of Chinese traditions and cultures and they all come from a place of wisdom obtained through historical, and sometimes prehistorical, times recorded and philosophised by our predecessors.
