Think of the Terracotta Warriors—an entire army built to protect an emperor in the afterlife! This deep history is the foundation for everything else.

The Spirit of the People: Hardworking and Hospitable

Above all, one of the best things about China is its people. Known for their strong sense of family, hard work, and warm hospitality, the people of China are the heart of the country. The phrase "有朋自远方来，不亦乐乎?" (Is it not a joy to have friends come from afar?) captures this welcoming spirit perfectly.

首先，中国最令人称道的一点就是其人民。中国人以强烈的家庭观念、勤奋努力和热情好客著称，他们是这个国家的灵魂所在。那句“有朋自远方来，不亦乐乎？”完美地诠释了这种欢迎四方来客的精神。
