Religion:
The three most prominent religions in China are Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism. Confucianism is popular because it was founded in China by an Emperor, but it is considered more of a philosophy than a religion. Buddhism is also popular, but most feel that friends and family are more reliable than invisible gods. The Chinese government officially supports atheism. This is because they don’t want religion to have any control which could possibly endanger the government’s current state.
Language:
The majority of people in China speak Mandarin Chinese, which has existed for a very long time. Few other languages are widely used because most of the population came from common ancestors.
Food:
In the past, China has had trouble feeding it's population. This was due to a large population, which was encouraged by Mao Zedong. The lack of food led the Chinese to eat small amounts of meat and large quantities of rice and noodles. Stir-frying food was also common because it saved fuel.
