Aspect of Chinese culture	Description of scene from Video	How does the scene demonstrate Chinese culture
Calligraphy	1.     Singer writing calligraphy and showing it 2.     There was a ” 福 ” hanging upside down	·         It was how people living in ancient China wrote and it was their way of communicating. ·         Hey used calligraphy writing for decoration purposes. Example the word “ 福 “ which is normally hung at peoples’ houses during Chinese New Year.
Porcelain pottery	Different type of porcelain pots on the shelves with various designs	·         In the past traders would go to China to get porcelain and it was a very valuable item back then in the period of the ancient China ·         The westerners always admired the way the porcelain potteries look ·          When people think about porcelain potteries they will think of China as there is where good qualities porcelain potteries are made
Shadow puppet performance	1.       Singers and an old lady playing with the puppets   2.       Puppets behind the screen moving around	·         It was used in the past as a form of entertainment ·         It originated from China thousands of years ago

I feel that these 3 parts are the most significant demonstrating Chinese culture and it shows how the culture was formed.
