1.当代,茶仍旧是海外民众认知度最高的中国文化符号之一。茶叶对于中国的意义,不仅仅是一种饮品,更是一种文化。茶叶的历史悠久,早在公元前3000年,中国就有了茶叶的种植。中国是茶的故乡,如今不少迷恋中国文化的外国人都很热衷中国茶。饮茶的目的不是为了止渴,而是通过制茶的步骤,使人们平心静气,是现代快节奏生活中的短暂休息。
2. 最初让中国功夫被世界认可的就是李小龙(Bruce Lee), 通过他精彩的武术 (martial) 电影。时至今日,尽管他去世了,他仍然有许多粉丝。武术大师成龙 (Jackie Chan) 又让中国功夫得到了发展。他拍摄过许多有趣的电影。好莱坞导演来中国寻求和成龙的合作。除此之外还有许多功夫大师。中国功夫被传播至世界60多个国家。中国功夫,是捍卫我族文明的重要文化组成部分。
