(Coğrafya) Tayvan'ın uluslararası organizasyonlardaki adı

Chinese Taipei

(Coğrafya) Chinese Taipei (Çince: 中華臺北 veya 中華台北), çoğunlukla Tayvan ismi ile tanınan, Çin Cumhuriyeti'nin bazı uluslararası organizasyonlara ve hemen hemen tüm spor etkinliklerine katılırken kullandığı isimdir. Bu spor etkinlikleri arasında Olimpiyatlar ve Asya Oyunları da yer almaktadır. Tayvan'ın politik statüsünden dolayı çıkabilecek karışıklıkları önlemek amacı ile uluslararası topluluk çoğunlukla "Chinese Taipei" ismini tercih etmektedir. Resmi ismi olan Çin Cumhuriyeti'nin kullanılmasına, Çin Halk Cumhuriyeti tarafından, geçersiz olduğunu düşündüğü bir yönetime meşruiyet kazandıracağı ve iki Çin olduğu izlenimi vereceği gerekçeleri ile karşı çıkılmaktadır. Çin, genel "Tayvan" isminin kulanılmasına da Tayvan'ın Çin'den bağımsız olduğunu imâ edeceği sebebi ile karşı çıkmaktadır

Han Ulusu ya da Han Çinli (Basitleştirilmiş Çince: 汉族, Klasik Çince: 漢族, pinyin: hànzú) Çin'de yaşayan en büyük etnik gruptur. Çin nüfusunun %92'sini ve dünya nüfusunun yaklaşık %19'ünü oluştururlar. Türkçe'de Çinli kelimesi Han Ulusuna eş anlamlı olarak kullanılmaktadır. Han Ulusu adını M.o. 206 – M.S. 220 yılları arasında hüküm sürmüş Han Hanedanlığı'ndan alır. Han Hanedanlığı, Çin'i tek bir hükümdar altında birleştiren kısa süreli Qin Hanedanlığı'nin ardından (M.o.221 - M.o.206) egemenliği ele geçirmiş, Çin kültürü üzerinde derin etkiler bırakmıştır. Bugün Çin'de yaşayan pek çok insan da Han döneminde kurulan kültürel ve siyasal birliğin mirasçısı olarak kendini Han insanı (Hànrén) olarak adlandırmaktadır

Chinese Taipei

(Coğrafya) Chinese Taipei is the designated name used by the Republic of China (ROC), commonly known as "Taiwan", to participate in some international organizations and almost all sporting events, such as the Olympics, Paralympics, Asian Games and Asian Para Games. The international community commonly employs the term "Chinese Taipei" due to political pressure by the People's Republic of China (PRC), commonly known as China, which prefers the name as it creates ambiguity about the independence and political status of Taiwan, blocks international visibility of the "Republic of China" as a country, and implies that ROC is part of the same "China" under PRC's control. It is seen as an important tool to influence international perception of cross-strait relations and Taiwan's political status as a sovereign state

Chinese Communist Party

Political party founded in China in 1921 by Chen Duxiu and Li Dazhao. It grew directly from the reform-oriented May Fourth Movement and was aided from the start by Russian organizers. Under Russian guidance, the CCP held its First Congress in 1921; the Russians also invited many members to the Soviet Union for study and encouraged cooperation with the Chinese Nationalist Party. This cooperation lasted until 1927, when the communists were expelled. CCP fortunes declined rapidly after several failed attempts at uprisings, and the few members that remained fled to central China to regroup, where they formed a soviet-style government in Jiangxi. Harried by the Nationalist army under Chiang Kai-shek, the CCP forces undertook the Long March to northwestern China, when Mao Zedong became the party's undisputed leader. War with the Japanese broke out in 1937 and led to a temporary alliance between the CCP and the Nationalists. After World War II, the CCP participated in U.S.-mediated talks with the Nationalists, but in 1947 the talks were abandoned and civil war resumed. The CCP increased its already strong rural base through land redistribution, and in 1949 it took control of mainland China. In the decades that followed, radical members led by Mao and moderates led initially by Liu Shaoqi vied for control of the party and the direction of China. After Mao's death in 1976 the party moved steadily toward economic, if not political, liberalization. The government's brutal suppression of student protesters at Tiananmen Square in 1989 produced a major shakeup in party leadership. Today the CCP sets policy, which government officials implement. The organs at the top of the CCP are the Political Bureau, the Political Bureau's Standing Committee, and the Secretariat, among which the division of power is constantly shifting.

Chinese examination system

In China, system of competitive examinations for recruiting officials that linked state and society and dominated education from the Song dynasty (960-1279) onward, though its roots date to the imperial university established in the Han dynasty (206 BC-AD 220). Candidates faced fierce competition in a series of exams dealing primarily with Confucian texts and conducted on the prefectural, provincial, and national levels. Despite a persistent tendency to emphasize rote learning over original thinking and form over substance, the exams managed to produce an elite grounded in a common body of teachings and to lend credibility to claims of meritocracy. Too inflexible to be capable of modernization, the system was finally abolished in 1905. See also Five Classics; Four Books

Chinese languages

or Sinitic languages Family of languages comprising one of the two branches of Sino-Tibetan. They are spoken by about 95% of the inhabitants of China and by many communities of Chinese immigrants elsewhere. Linguists regard the major dialect groups of Chinese as distinct languages, though because all Chinese write with a common system of ideograms, or characters (see Chinese writing system), and share Classical Chinese as a heritage, traditionally all varieties of Chinese are regarded as dialects. There is a primary division in Chinese languages between the so-called Mandarin dialects which have a high degree of mutual intelligibility and cover all of the Chinese speech area north of the Yangtze River (Chang Jiang) and west of Hunan and Guangdong provinces and a number of other dialect groups concentrated in southeastern China. Far more people more than 885 million speak a variety of Mandarin Chinese as a first language than any other language in the world. The northern Mandarin dialect of Beijing is the basis for Modern Standard Chinese, a spoken norm that serves as a supradialectal lingua franca. Important dialect groups other than Mandarin are Wu (spoken in Shanghai), Gan, Xiang, Min (spoken in Fujian and Taiwan), Yue (including Cantonese, spoken in Guangzhou [Canton] and Hong Kong), and Kejia (Hakka), spoken by the Hakka. The modern Chinese languages are tone languages, the number of tones varying from four in Modern Standard Chinese to nine in some dialects

Chinese law

Law that evolved in China from the earliest times until the 20th century, when Western socialist law (see Soviet law) was introduced. The oldest extant and complete Chinese law code was compiled in AD 653 during the Tang dynasty. Traditional Chinese law was influenced both by Confucianism, which allowed variability in moral conduct according to status and circumstances, and by Legalist, or Fajia, principles, which stressed reliance on uniform objective standards. The law also was affected by the emperor's divine role in the universe. The emperor was considered responsible to heaven for any disturbance in the earthly sphere; whenever a disturbance occurred, punishment was considered a means of restoring the cosmic equilibrium. All citizens were obliged to denounce wrongdoers to the local magistrate's office. The magistrate studied the facts of a case and, using the penal code, determined punishments, including beatings and torture. A profession of advocates, or lawyers, never developed in China. Traditional law continued to exert influence even after the communists gained power in China in 1949

Chinese whispers

Chinese writing system

System of symbols used to write the Chinese language. Chinese writing is fundamentally logographic: there is an exact correspondence between a single symbol, or character, in the script and a morpheme. Each character, no matter how complex, is fit into a hypothetical rectangle of the same size. The Chinese script is first attested in divinatory inscriptions incised on bone or tortoise shells dating from the Shang dynasty. Early forms of characters were often clearly pictorial or iconic. Shared elements of characters, called radicals, provide a means of classifying Chinese writing. It is thought that an ordinary literate Chinese person can recognize 3,000-4,000 characters. Efforts have been made to reduce the number of characters and to simplify their form, though the fact that they can be read by a speaker of any Chinese language and their inextricable link with China's 3,000-year-old culture makes abandonment of the system unlikely. Chinese characters have also been adapted to write Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese

han chinese

Han Chinese are a heterogenous ethnic group dominant in China and the largest single human ethnic group in the world. Han Chinese constitute about 92 percent of the population of the People's Republic of China and about 19 percent of the entire global human population. There is substantial genetic, linguistic, cultural and social diversity between its various subgroups, mainly due to thousands of years of regionalized assimilation of various ethnic groups and tribes in China. The Han Chinese are a subset of the Chinese nation (Zhonghua minzu). An alternate name that many Chinese peoples use to refer to themselves is "Descendants of the Dragon."

traditional Chinese medicine

System of medicine at least 23 centuries old that aims to prevent or heal disease by maintaining or restoring yin-yang balance. Detailed questions are asked about a patient's illness and such things as taste, smell, and dreams, but close examination of the pulse, at different sites and times and with varying pressure, is paramount. Of Chinese medicine's numerous remedies, Western medicine has adopted many, including iron (for anemia) and chaulmoogra oil (for leprosy). Use of certain animal remedies has seriously contributed to the endangered-species status of some animals (including tiger and rhinoceros). Chinese medicine used inoculation for smallpox long before Western medicine. Other practices include hydrotherapy, acupuncture, and acupressure
