Podcasts about Chinese culture

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, I, Stewart Alsop, speak with Perry Knoppert, founder of The Octopus Movement, joining us from the Netherlands. We explore everything from octopus facts (like how they once had bones and decided to ditch them—wild, right?) to neurodivergence, non-linear thinking, the alien-like nature of both octopuses and AI, and how the future of education might finally reflect the chaos and creativity of human intelligence. Perry drops insight bombs on ADHD, dyslexia, chaos as a superpower, and even shares a wild idea about how frustration—not just ideas—can shape the world. You can connect with him and explore more at theoctopusmovement.org, and check out his playful venting app at tellTom.ink.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversation!Timestamps00:00 Introduction to the Crazy Wisdom Podcast00:31 Fascinating Facts About Octopi02:03 The Octopus Movement: Origins and Symbolism05:55 Exploring Neurodivergence and AI20:15 The Future of Education with AI29:48 Challenges in the Dutch Education System30:59 Educational Pathways in the US31:50 Exploring Neurodiversity32:34 The Origin of Neurodiversity34:34 Nomadic DNA and ADHD36:02 Personal Nomadic Experiences37:20 Cultural Insights from China41:59 Trust in Different Cultures44:20 The Foreigner Experience52:21 Artificial and Natural Intelligence55:11 The Octopus Movement and Tell Tom AppKey InsightsNeurodivergence isn't a superpower—it's a different lens on reality. Perry challenges the popular narrative that conditions like ADHD or dyslexia are inherently "superpowers." Instead, he sees them as part of a broader, complex human experience—often painful, often misunderstood, but rich with potential once liberated from linear systems that define what's "normal."AI is the beautiful product of linear thought—and it's freeing us from it. Perry reframes artificial intelligence not as a threat, but as the ultimate tool born from centuries of structured, logical thinking. With AI handling the systems and organization, humans are finally free to return to creativity, chaos, and nonlinear, intuitive modes of intelligence that machines can't touch.Octopuses are the ultimate symbol of curious misfits. The octopus—alien, adaptable, emotion-rich—becomes a metaphor for people who don't fit the mold. With three hearts, nine brains, and a decentralized nervous system, octopuses reflect the kind of intelligence and distributed awareness Perry celebrates in neurodivergent thinkers.Frustration is more generative than ideas. In one of the episode's most unexpected insights, Perry argues that frustration is a more powerful starting point for change than intellectual ideation. Ideas are often inert without action, while frustration is raw, emotional, and deeply human—fuel for meaningful transformation.Education needs to shift from repetition to creation. The current model of education—memorization, repetition, testing—serves linearity, not creativity. With AI taking over traditional knowledge tasks, Perry envisions classrooms where kids learn how their minds work, engage with the world directly, and practice making meaning instead of memorizing facts.Being a foreigner is a portal to freedom. Living in unfamiliar cultures (like Perry did in China or Stewart in Argentina) reveals the absurdities of our own norms and invites new ways of being. Foreignness becomes a superpower in itself—a space of lowered expectations, fewer assumptions, and greater possibility.Labels like “neurodivergent” are both helpful and illusory. While diagnostic labels can offer relief and clarity, Perry warns against attaching too tightly to them. These constructs are inventions of linear thought, useful for navigating systems but ultimately limiting when it comes to embracing the full, messy, nonlinear reality of being human.

How can a nonprofit transform any space in a way that effectively tells the story of the organization and inspires the audience to give more? Today, I talk with Bonna Kol, President of the Asia Society Texas Center and Rishi Varma, one of the co-chairs of Tiger Ball, the organization's signature fundraising events. This year's theme, Enchanting Shanghai will celebrate various aspects of both Shanghai and Chinese Culture. For many years, Tiger Ball has dazzled the audience with innovative themes that effectively showcase specific aspects of Asian culture in an elegant, informative, and fun way. What makes the event even more dazzling is how they transform The Asia Society Texas Center's parking lot into a majesic, tented wonderland that brings the outside in. In this episode, Bonna and Rishi discuss a wide range of topics including building a loyal following, creating an effective event theme selection process, deciding if moving your signature fundraiser to your organization's headquarters is the right move, and more. This is one episode you will not want to miss.

Today, we'll talk about the Fuxi and Nuwa paintings, popular in the burial customs of the ancient kingdom of Gaochang, which reflect the deep cultural and symbolic significance of these two mythological figures in Chinese history, representing creation, harmony, and the balance of Yin and Yang.

中文本期简介：在这期《五分钟中文》中，我们聊了海外华人是如何度过春节的，尤其是与中国国内的春节庆祝方式的不同。春节是中国最重要的节日，象征着团圆和新的一年的开始。对于许多生活在海外的华人来说，虽然不能和家人一起过年，但依然通过现代科技与亲朋好友保持联系，参与社区活动，并共同庆祝这个重要节日。虽然缺少了烟花爆竹的氛围，但春节的意义依然深刻，不论身处何地，和亲友共度时光最为重要。希望大家在蛇年里幸福安康！English Episode Summary:In this episode of 5-Minute Chinese, we discuss how overseas Chinese celebrate Chinese New Year, focusing on the differences compared to the celebrations in mainland China. Chinese New Year is the most important holiday in China, symbolizing family reunions and the start of a new year. For many Chinese living abroad, even though they cannot celebrate with their families in person, they maintain connections through modern technology, participate in community events, and celebrate the festival together. While the atmosphere of fireworks and firecrackers may be missing, the true meaning of the holiday remains the same. Regardless of where we are, the most important thing is spending time with loved ones. Wishing everyone happiness and health in the Year of the Snake!日本語エピソード概要今回は「海外の華人たちの春節」についてお話しします。春節は中国で最も重要な祭りであり、家族が集まり、新年を祝うことが象徴されています。しかし、海外に住む華人にとって、春節の過ごし方は中国国内のそれとは異なります。遠く離れた家族とは、スマートフォンを通じて新年の挨拶を交わし、友人や地域コミュニティと一緒にお祝いをします。花火や爆竹の音は少なくなりましたが、春節の本質は変わりません。どこにいても大切なのは、愛する人と一緒に過ごすことです。皆さんが蛇年に幸せで健康でありますように。#海外华人#春节 #蛇年 #春节习俗 #家庭团聚  #春节烟花 #华人社区 #海外春节 #中国传统 #中国文化 #中文学习 #中文听力 #蛇年 #农历新年 #中国新年 #中级中文 #高级中文 #汉语 #ChineseNewYear2025#YearOfTheSnake#LunarNewYear#OverseasChinese#SpringFestival#ChineseCulture #CulturalTraditions#AdvancedChinese #Intermediate Chinese #LearnChinese#ChineseLanguagePodcast #旧正月 #春節 #中華文化 #チャイニーズニューイヤー#春節 #海外華人 #年越し #家族団欒 #蛇年 #中国伝統 #花火发短信给我！ Send me a text!Support the showDue to space constraints, the transcript is not available in the description.

本集中文简介 (Chinese Summary of This Episode)：在这一期的《五分钟中文》中，我们聊了聊中国人如何庆祝一月一日的元旦。虽然春节是中国最重要的传统节日，但近年来，特别是在城市里，越来越多的人开始以现代方式庆祝元旦，比如观看烟花表演、灯光秀，与家人朋友聚餐或参加派对。同时，一些西方习俗如新年决心也逐渐被接受。此外，商场和网购平台的促销活动也增添了节日气氛。尽管元旦没有春节重要，但它象征着希望、新开始和文化交流。感谢收听，祝大家新年快乐！本集英文简介 (English Summary of This Episode):In this episode of Five-Minute Chinese, we discuss how Chinese people celebrate January 1st, also known as “Yuandan,” the official term for New Year's Day in the Gregorian calendar. While the Lunar New Year (Spring Festival) is China's most important traditional holiday, more people, especially in cities, are embracing modern ways to celebrate Yuandan. Activities include fireworks shows, light displays, family dinners, parties with friends, and adopting Western customs like New Year's resolutions. Shopping promotions also add to the festive atmosphere. Although Yuandan is less significant than the Spring Festival, it symbolizes hope, new beginnings, and cultural exchange.

New York resident and author, Flora Qian was born and raised in Shanghai but has lived in Singapore and Hong Kong, where her ancestors had lived, and in Washington D.C. before settling in New York. This cross cultural and multilingual experience influenced her debut novel, “South of the Yangtze.” At once a coming-of-age story and a meditation on language itself, South of the Yangtze is Flora Qian's award-winning debut novel that follows Yinan Qian, a girl growing up in Shanghai at the turn of the century. Set against China's rapidly changing political, economic, and social environment from the 1980s to current day, South of the Yangtze is a thoughtful reflection on both physical migration and migration between languages. Layered with history, it provides a moving portrait of China's only child generation and the meaning of identity. In an interview, Qian could discuss: WRITING: · South of the Yangtze is fiction but draws from Flora's life experiences. Did this make it easier or more difficult to find Yinan's “voice” while writing? · With language being such a central theme to South of the Yangtze, why did Flora choose to write the book in English? · The book frequently references Chinese words and history. How did Flora balance explanation for an audience that may not be well-versed in Chinese culture while remaining authentic to her vision? · Which books have influenced Flora the most as a writer? In South of the Yangtze, Dream of the Red Chamber has a special place for Yinan and her friend, Jie. What is its significance? CHINESE CULTURE & LANGUAGE: · Her experiences growing up in China during the only-child mandate, which lasted from 1979 to 2015. · Flora has lived in Shanghai and Hong Kong, as well as the United States. What were the major cultural differences? Did they inspire South of the Yangtze in any way? · Did Flora's experience living in Hong Kong during the protests of 2019 – 2020 influence South of the Yangtze? · What it was like to witness enormous socioeconomic shifts in China through her childhood and into her adulthood. · One of the book's main themes is how language shapes thought. With Chinese being one of the oldest living languages, is it especially poised to do so? Why did Flora choose to write the book in English? · Given how rapid the changes to China were following the Cultural Revolution, how does South of the Yangtze preserve a specific and unique moment in China's history? · There are frequent references to Chinese folktales in the novel. How do they play a role in Flora's writing life? · One of the early relationships the protagonist has in South of the Yangtze is with her Mandarin-speaking teacher, who was also an activist in the 1989 Tiananmen Square protest. What is the significance of this character and their relationship? · Migration is one of the central themes in South of the Yangtze. Yinan is an emigrant (from China) and Simon is a first-generation Chinese American. They seem to share a special connection. How does Flora's experience of being an emigrant inform the novel? Sherylbass999@gmail.com or sheryl@mckinneymediagroup.com FLORA QIAN was born and raised in Shanghai. She received a bachelor's degree in English from Fudan University in 2005. After graduation, she worked briefly in the publishing industry in Shanghai, where she was as an editor and an interpreter. In 2007, Flora moved to Hong Kong for a master's degree in Translation at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. During that time, she translated Sophie Kinsella's Shopaholic and Sister into Chinese, which was published in 2009. Afterward, she worked in the financial sector in Hong Kong for six years.

In today's podcast, we sit down with Mark Leong, a fifth-generation Chinese-American photographer, for Picturing World Cultures. Above photograph © Mark Leong From his arrival in 1980s Beijing on a one-year travel fellowship, to his decision to live and work there long-term over the following decades, we follow Mark's path from his ancestral village to the Beijing art scene, and beyond. He walks us through his experiences in documenting the massive cultural shifts as Chinese society transitioned from uniformity and limited choice to a realm of consumerism and increasing globalization. We also discuss Mark's long-term photographic project featuring China's Post-90's generation, the young adults born under the country's one-child policy. As Mark points out toward the end of our chat, “What's interesting to me about this generation I'm photographing is that they have this kind of creativity, and they have the resources to use this creativity to make something.” If you haven't already listened, check out all the episodes of our Picturing World Cultures podcast series here.

In this episode, we delve into the insightful journey of Jasmine Cochran, an accomplished writer whose experiences in China profoundly shaped her understanding of racism and cultural dynamics. With a background in English literature, Jasmine embarked on a transformative adventure when she and her husband and two daughters relocated to China. Living in China provided Jasmine with a firsthand encounter with various facets of racism, both in urban centers and rural areas. Despite facing instances of prejudice, she also discovered the warmth and hospitality of the Chinese people, painting a nuanced picture of her experiences. These encounters sparked Jasmine's commitment to challenging ingrained beliefs and fostering critical thinking. After years immersed in Chinese culture, Jasmine and her family returned to America to care for her father in his final days. This transition offered Jasmine a unique perspective on racial issues, particularly observing the willingness of Chinese students to question traditional beliefs and engage in discussions on race. Jasmine's journey is captured in her life experiences and her book, "Keep Waking Up in the Mourning." The book pays tribute to her father while offering solace and guidance to those navigating grief. Jasmine aims to inspire change and progress in racial understanding and cultural acceptance through her writing and advocacy. Join us as we explore Jasmine's compelling narrative, filled with insights, reflections, and a hopeful vision for a more inclusive future.

冷战期间，美国和苏联两个大国比赛，谁有更好的火箭，谁能把人送上太空？刚刚成立的新中国虽然面临很多社会问题，但是也开始了自己的航天计划。从第一个火箭到第一个卫星，再到第一个去太空的中国人... … 中国人实现了 “飞天” 的梦想，把神话变成了现实。 During the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union competed to see who would have the better rocket and who could send people into space. The newly founded People's Republic of China, despite being faced with many social problems, also started its own space program. From the first rocket to the first satellite, to the first Chinese man in space... Chinese people realized their dream of "flying to the sky" and turned the myth into reality. ◉ Read transcripts for free ◉ Become a Patron ◉ Visit merch store ◉ Find us on YouTube ◉ We are on LinkedIn ◉ We are on Facebook ◉ Find a Chinese teacher on italki and receive $10 ◉ One-time Donate

Yoghurt bowls. Lululemon leggings. Ugg slippers. More young Chinese women embrace what they identify as the "white woman aesthetic" as an antidote to the pressures of high maintenance beauty standards and material achievement. As more Chinese women question the grind and settle for less, is the "white woman aesthetic" really an innocent social media fad or a deeper awakening of class consciousness? Chapters 3:15: Introduction to the "White Woman aesthetic"12:00 Chinese middle class anxiety14:31 Defining the Chinese middle class21:05 Morality and responsibility of the Chinese middle class27:32 Limitations of the Chinese middle class37:08 ConclusionsSupport the showSign up for Buzzsprout to launch your podcasting journey: https://www.buzzsprout.com/?referrer_id=162442Subscribe to the Sinobabble Newsletter: https://sinobabble.substack.com/Support Sinobabble on Buy me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Sinobabblepod

你能相信吗？这是《茶歇中文播客》第一次给大家介绍 “茶文化”。4000多年前，神农在尝试各种植物时中毒，吃了茶叶之后，恢复健康。从此，人们开始喝茶。在中国，“荼” 和 “茶” 字通用，在不同地区有不同的发音。唐朝以来，喝茶成为中国人的习惯。再后来，茶去了亚洲别的国家，还去了欧洲。欧洲人把茶叶看作是很珍贵的饮料。在今天的中国，年轻人越来越喜欢喝咖啡。茶渐渐地以奶茶的形式进入年轻人的生活。 Can you believe that? This is the first time that we talk about "tea culture" at TeaTime Chinese. 4,000 years ago, Shennong was poisoned whilst he was tasting different herbs. After accidentally eating tea leaves, he recovered from poisoning. From then on, people started drinking tea. In China, "Tu" and "Cha" are interchangeable, and are pronounced differently in different regions. Since the Tang Dynasty, drinking tea has become a daily habit for the Chinese people. Later on, tea went to other Asian countries, before it went to Europe. In Europe, people saw tea as a precious beverage. Today, young Chinese people have a preference for coffee. Tea remains in young people's lives in the form of milk tea. ◉ Read transcripts for free ◉ Become a Patron ◉ Visit merch store ◉ Find us on YouTube ◉ We are on LinkedIn ◉ We are on Facebook ◉ Find a Chinese teacher on italki and receive $10 ◉ One-time Donate

Fluent Fiction - Mandarin Chinese: The Chopsticks Challenge: Unraveling the Taste of Chinese Culture Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.org/the-chopsticks-challenge-unraveling-the-taste-of-chinese-culture Story Transcript:Zh: 在京城的中心，有一个小餐馆，是张伟正在挑战他对中国文化和技能的理解之地。En: In the center of Beijing, there is a small restaurant where Zhang Wei is challenging his understanding of Chinese culture and skills.Zh: 北京，这座古城中融入了现代化元素，张伟是其中一个现代化元素，一名在业余时间喜欢学习中国餐桌礼仪和美食文化的年轻程序员。这天，他在朝阳区的一家叫作"面条的艺术"的小餐馆，背对着外面车水马龙的大街，面向着一碗热腾腾的面条。En: Beijing, the ancient city infused with modern elements, has Zhang Wei as one of those modern elements—a young programmer who loves to study Chinese table etiquette and culinary culture in his spare time. One day, he found himself in a small restaurant called "The Art of Noodles" in the Chaoyang district, with his back facing the bustling street and a steaming bowl of noodles in front of him.Zh: 他的眉头紧锁，正瞪着面前这碗面。他的手中握着两根筷子，试图将筷子精准地插入疑似一团纠缠的面条中。然而，每当张伟将筷子尖端对准面条的碗时，总会捏太紧，导致面条弹回碗中。En: With a furrowed brow, he stared at the noodles before him. Holding two chopsticks in his hand, he tried to precisely insert them into what seemed like a tangled mess of noodles. However, every time Zhang Wei aimed the tip of the chopsticks at the noodles, he would grip them too tightly, causing the noodles to bounce back into the bowl.Zh: 就在人们开始注意到这位年轻男子手忙脚乱地吃面，张伟的内心却充满了挫败。他在心中不断告诉自己，每次他的筷子碰到面条，面条就会飞回碗里。他觉得自己就像是在尝试蹦极跳，只是用筷子控制面条比伞兵降落要困难。En: Just as people began to notice the young man struggling to eat his noodles, Zhang Wei's heart was filled with frustration. He kept telling himself that every time his chopsticks touched the noodles, they would fly back into the bowl. He felt as if he were attempting bungee jumping, but controlling the noodles with chopsticks proved to be more difficult than guiding a parachutist to land.Zh: 这时，看着张伟焦急的样子，餐馆的老板娘，一位明亮的眼睛和温和的笑容的老年妇女，走了过来。她的手，经岁月洗礼，不再娇嫩，却流淌着悠久的智慧。她停下来，看着张伟，轻轻地笑。然后，她拿起一双筷子，平稳灵活的动作，轻松地挑起一口面条送到嘴里。然后，她将筷子递给张伟，并示意他模仿。En: At that moment, as onlookers started to notice Zhang Wei's anxious state, the owner of the restaurant, an elderly woman with bright eyes and a gentle smile, approached him. Her hands, weathered by time, were no longer tender, but they carried a wealth of wisdom. She stopped and looked at Zhang Wei, gently smiling. Then, she picked up a pair of chopsticks in a smooth and agile motion, effortlessly picking up a strand of noodles and bringing it to her mouth. She then handed the chopsticks to Zhang Wei, gesturing for him to imitate her.Zh: 不得不承认，面对老板娘的建议，张伟感到了压力，因为他必须在公众面前再次尝试。然而，他也无法否认他对成功的渴望。他聚精会神地观察老板娘挥动筷子的手法，然后模仿。他试了一次，二次，三次…… 手中的筷子在面条之间穿梭，终于，他成功地夹起了一小部分面条。En: Admittedly, faced with the owner's suggestion, Zhang Wei felt the pressure as he would have to try again in front of the public. However, he couldn't deny his desire for success. He concentrated and observed the way the owner wielded the chopsticks, then imitated her. He tried once, twice, thrice... The chopsticks in his hand maneuvered between the noodles, and finally, he successfully picked up a small portion of noodles.Zh: 在他将面条送入口中的那一刻，餐馆里的所有眼睛都盯着他，而他，成功地吞下了那份面条。那一刻，他爱上了这份艰难的挑战，也尝到了来自中国古老传统文化的滋味。En: At the moment he brought the noodles to his mouth, all eyes in the restaurant were fixed on him, and he successfully swallowed that portion of noodles. In that moment, he fell in love with this challenging task and tasted the flavor of ancient Chinese traditional culture.Zh: 这就是张伟在北京对筷子挑战的故事，一个年轻人对异国文化的尊重与执着，一个成功的故事，也是一个启示：即使再小的事也需要毅力与坚持，对待别的文化，我们需要敬畏与理解。En: This is the story of Zhang Wei's chopsticks challenge in Beijing—an inspiring tale of a young man's respect and perseverance towards a foreign culture. It is a story of success and a reminder that even the smallest things require determination and persistence. When dealing with other cultures, we need reverence and understanding.

2023年11月29日，美国政治家，外交官基辛格去世，享年100岁。习近平说：他是中国人民的老朋友。他1971年两次秘密访华，为 “尼克松访华” 做铺垫。多年来，他呼吁中美和平共处，成为中美友谊的象征。不过，很多人对他褒贬不一，最大的因素就是他在越南战争中指导的对柬埔寨的轰炸。今天，我们就来看看基辛格的一生。 On November 29th, 2023, American politician, diplomat Henry Kissinger passed away at the age of 100. Xi Jinping said that: He (Kissinger) is an old friend of the Chinese people. His two secret visits to China paved the way for Nixon's visit. Along the many years, he advocated for China and America to coexist peacefully. He has become the symbol of Sino-US friendship. However, many people remain critical of him, the biggest factor being that he directed "secret bombings" in Cambodia in the Vietnam War. Today, let's look at Henry Kissinger's life. ◉ Read transcripts for free ◉ Become a Patron ◉ Visit merch store ◉ Find us on YouTube ◉ We are on LinkedIn ◉ We are on Facebook ◉ Find a Chinese teacher on italki and receive $10 ◉ One-time Donate

如果想要明白两个国家今天的政治关系，就必须知道它们之间发生过的事情。中国和越南之间，就有一段非常有意思的历史。在这一集节目里，我们回到2000多年前，看看越南，这个中国的邻居，是怎样诞生的。我们会看见，越南曾经是中国管辖的一部分。之后，越南人凭借他们的不断起义和反抗，最后建立自己的国家。二战之后，中国帮助北越对抗南越。战后，两个国家又发生冲突... … 历史上的恩恩怨怨有很多，但是文化上的相近能够帮助两国人民互相理解，结交友情。 If we want to understand the political relationships between two countries, it is pivotal to understand what happened between them. Between China and Vietnam, there is a fascinating history. In this episode, we will go back to 2000 years ago, to see how Vietnam, this neighbor of China, was born.

The "4 King Kongs" and Shengjian are must-haves on the breakfast table of Shanghainese. Today, traditional breakfasts are hard to find.
