message: I don't know how much I could contribute to the writing, but maybe I could add some photos. I recently visited China on holiday (Beijing, Chongqing, Dazu, Yangtze River, Wuhan, Changsha, Guilin) and if anyone has any requests for photos I could check to see if I have anything appropriate. --Calton 02:04, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)

message: The failure of this so-called "collaboration" (among others, like Tangshan earthquake) is a very clear testament to the amount of wikipedia articles that need improvement that get ignored. I've posted many things on "Pages needing attention", none of which actually got attention. You can't expect simply because there's a formalized procedure that some of these articles will actually get written, not to mention written well. Colipon+(T) 05:29, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

message: I added the 'Life in the PRC' template box to the page. I'm torn, though, about it's appropriateness. On one hand, the box does link to the page, and the page does cover an important aspect regarding life in the People's Republic of China. On the other hand, I'm afraid that it might mislead people into perhaps thinking that the whole page is about PRC culture. What do you think? AustinZ 00:06, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Template Box

message: Should these be included as aspects of Chinese culture?  Little emphasis on not littering, spitting, children defecating on the sidewalk, etc.  Possibly related to lack of emphasis on environment until VERY recently (deforestation since the Ming).  Customary to not wait in line and to shove those in one's way.  I'll likely be insulted for these comments, but no one who has been to both developed countries and China would not see a marked contrast in these arenas.  I'd write it, but I think I'd be too tactless. --Easytoremember 03:22, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Filthiness, Shoving

message: I read or heard once, somewhere, that it was customary in China to say that a newborn baby is one year old, and to increment the age at the start of the lunar new year (instead of on the person's birthday).  Is this true?  And if it is true, can anyone help me find a quotable source for it?  I've mentioned this point in one of the footnotes of the article United States v. Wong Kim Ark, but I really ought to include a citation if possible.  Richwales 04:32, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Do not quote my comments out of context. I told you not to bring content discussions about specific issues to my talkpage, but you persist in doing so. My edit summary comment says exactly as what I intend to say. You reverted me purely for the reason that is was an "over-revert". I explained it wasent an over-revert because non of those edits were acceptable to me. If you have nothing further to say except to revert everyday, than yes, the discussion ends there.--Huaiwei 03:38, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I've provided the links. Over-revert is behavioural problem, not editorial problem related to this article. If it's not over-revert as you've claimed, you've yet to explain why everything was not accepted. — Instantnood 15:49, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I vote for a lot of these headings to be moved as sub-headings:
Cinema, Architecture, Cuisine, Martial Arts, Clothing and Mass Media into Arts.
Marriage, Religion, Tourism and Government into Society.
Somehow merge Games, Hobbies, and Science and Technology (maybe).
Somehow merge History and Modern China.
This would leave about 5 or 6 headings. Any agreement? Kansaikiwi May 28 2007

thread_title:  What a mess. 

message: I looked the article Social structure of China but it didn't contain information about family structures.  From what I understand, in Chinese culture here is a hierarchy within families with the oldest male being the "boss", then proceeding down with women usually subordinate to men and younger siblings subordinate to older siblings. A section on this and other aspects of family behavior in Chinese culture would be a useful addition to Wikipedia.  Anyone have the knowledge/background/sources to write it?

message: Protection? this whole thing sounds just like a piece written by a bunch of people that have not been to China and were just copying and pasting from all kinds of messy resources. There is nothing to protect basically. Let people argue around for a while maybe

thread_title:  Protection? 

message: I think it would be more appropiate to change the uppermost picture of the page with a picture of chinese writing. 
The reason: Although I do not question that Beijing Opera and its costumes are part of Chinese culture, the picture nevertheless conveys the implicit meaning that "culture" is most importantly "folklore" which serves the appetite of non-chinese (probably the majority of english wikipedia users) for "exotic" images. I think a picture of chinese caligraphy gives a more essential starting point for an article about the fast topic of chinese culture. Especially since the distinct writing system was and is one of the main cornerstones of chinese cultural development and distinction from foreign cultures.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by G0&2% (talk • contribs) 10:22, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

message: The following section is removed by a sysop, who refuses to discuss it. However, I bring it here for other users to disucss, since he refuses a talk page discussion.
:In Chinese culture, there is a deep rooted, minimalist approach to interpersonal affairs and to dealing with nature, :that tries to put interferrence and effort used to accomplish things to a minimum. This Wu wei concept is perhaps best :epthomized in the Lao Tse doctrine from Tao Te Ching, Do nothing and there is nothing left undone.
:Self-reliance sometimes even takes precedence over compassion, in ways few other cultures can understand. For instance, :a cry for help is less likely to be answered in China than in the rest of the world. World was shocked when a video of :a toddler, twice run over by a car in midst of urban area, leaked to youtube, as 18 pedestrians refused to help the :child, minding their own business. Local people even refused to get involved when finally a trash collector, who :removed the child from the busy street, pleaded for help.[11] China has no Good Samaritan laws and many in China avoid :helping strangers in order to minimize trouble for themselfs. Similarly, it is common that a tourist comes to rescue, :as it happened when a suicidal woman jumped into West Lake in Hangzhou, while the Chinese bystanders did nothing to :help. [10]
Wu wei is one of the key aspects of Chinese philosophy, culture and life. Section about it is clearly important. It has both positive and negative sides - positive - Chinese live in harmony with nature and do not bully other nations; negative - they sometimes neglect compassion, as a couple of cases illustrate. The toddler incident is well reported (references were provided). 
Certainly, both sides should be discussed. There is also absolutely no justification for blanking the whole section, which this sysop does (and which is in my opinion, and according to policies here, vandalism)."Wangleetodd (talk) 12:09, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

message: The article seemed kind of chunky and broken into too many random separate sections. I would combine some, like music, arts, and the different kinds of arts. I loved all of the different visuals, however, I would add a map in the Region section so it is clear what areas of China you are talking about. Lastly, I would talk about the different gender fashions in the fashion category. Overall, it is very interesting information on Chinese culture, it just seems a bit unorganized.

Why can the others add beautiful photos japanse painting in japanese culture, and I can't add them (include chinese painting, Qinghuaci, chinese garden and other) in chinese culture?
I am Chinese, and I was so worry about some UGLY and GROTESQUE photos in chinese culture, they are not real chinese culture! Those photos will destroy the beauty image of chinese culture!!
  
thumb|Kung Fu is only a very small part of the whole chinese sports, why the westerner always think of it as a symbol of China? We are not Martial Monkey!!
Chinese culture has so many beautiful photos, why do you think the VULGAR photos can on behalf of china!? Why do you vilify chinese culture!??

message: In my opinion, when looking at an article regarding Chinese culture as a whole: I would like to see more information on subcultures listed rather than just links to other articles. I feel that the fact that Chinese has so many sub cultures is a huge part of what makes Chinese culture what it is. Do you think it would benefit the article to add more of this information directly into it?
