Q1. One empress was force to leave the palace and became a commoner.

Q2. 

•Beijing’s airport is more empty unlike Singapore’s airport.

•Driving in Beijing is on the left side but in Singapore it is on the right side 

Q3. I appreciate the cleanliness in Singapore as the toilet in Beijing is very dirty.

There are alot of differences between singapore and china. The first difference when i first step into the airport is that our airport is much more variety of items and the environment is much more cleaner than china. China’s airport is really plain and normal with not much decorations.

One thing that we should do is to apreciate singapore’s cleanliness and do not take it for granted. As other countries are having environments that are worster.

I’ve also learn in the Confucius temple that the emperor will actually teach the people inside the temple.confucius is also a great man that his temple is able to use the colour yellow which is only meant for the emperor.

Today, i learnt more about the beliefs of chinese people. In the olden days, they strongly believed in immortality. I also learnt about how they look up to and respected Confucious. At the Imperial College too, i saw how the education system of China in the past, was similar to our education system here in Singapore. They took examinations seriously as the results determine whether they are able to work for the Emperor. In singapore, we also are competitive to get the best results in order to be qualified for certain courses. Then at Forbidden City, i got to see how an Emperor lived and the whole ‘city’ he lived in. The court at Tiananmen square was reflected in one of the currencies of China. This shows the significance of the building and how important it is to them. All in all, i’ve learnt more towards to the history of China and a bit of its culture. 

Q1. People in China don’t believe in religion and god. 孔子 was the people’s god even though he was a smart and wise scholar. 

Q2. In the past there is a lot of different type of emperors in China but Singapore we only have like president.

Q3. i am inspired by the perseverance that the soilders have displayed as they had to take turns to stand still under the sun for 40 minutes to protect the flag. I also enjoy the kungfu show as they practiced so much as the saying goes 台上十分钟台下十年功

1. Firstly ,I learnt about their beliefs as in people don’t believe in  any gods anything god religion but 孔子. Actually,孔子is just a normal scholar with wise mindset. He was not related to royal palace but he was still acknowledged by the people. Heard from the tour guide that 孔子 can recognise other creatures if they are not human. 孔子 said before not to waste time to fight with people with no knowledge, “东虫不夏下语” means that mantis from winter will not experience raining season. 

Secondly, in the past,China is ruled by those late emperor.However, in Singapore, there was President, Prime minister and others. 
Thirdly,  I have learnt that every chairman or emperor have the ability to gain trust from the citizen for example every citizen is polite to chairman mao.

2.Firstly, I was inspired by how they cherished those antique pieces from 16 centuries . In Singapore, this is somehow rare as there is not alot of antique pieces to be remain clean and the design of those plates are still clear to be seen.

Secondly, I was inspired by how those artifacts can be still around after a few centuries for example yan xi palace.
3. One thing that i will share with my friends is that we should learn to persevere like how the soldiers in tiananmen square that stand under hot sun just to serve and protect their country flag.

1. i learnt that the Kong zi is really famous in the past. He was known as a famous thinker and educationist and he was also the first to open up a school in china and ended up having 4 other students who got knowledge from king zi and the 5 students then continued teaching 12 other philosopher. When king zi died his teaching was collected by disciples and then passed down to other people. I also learnt about guo zi jian which is a imperial college with the highest educational institution. In the tiananmen square, the soldiers have to stand in the hot sun for 40 mins just to guard the place. 

2. One difference that i found out today is the the way they protect their country’s properties and be so secure about it. But the way they guard it is really professional and neat. While in singapore when we guard something we will guard it normally.

3. A few values that i learn is from the soldiers. They showed perseverance and professionalism towards their country and they respect their country a lot therefore they would do this for their country. I think that we all should show more professionalism and perseverance to the homeworks that the teacher gives.
