Teach Chinese Calligraphy in USA

＂After completing the Chinese calligraphy course, I have fallen love with this unique art. I have learned not only skills to use brushes, but also oriental philosophy and culture. Chinese calligraphy has made me understand better differences and similarities between eastern and western arts. Chinese calligraphy - its brushwork and structure, individual and whole, dry and wet, big and small, fast and slow, positive and negative, all are filled with philosophic mystery and human wisdom and show movement of human life, which can never be experienced in western fine arts. Chinese calligraphy has opened a door for me. Learning it will make me benefit in my whole life.＂

The Effects of National Culture and Face Concerns on Intention to Apologize: A Comparison of the USA and China

The current study examined national culture differences between US American and Chinese participants (N?=?317) regarding face need concerns and apology intention, based on positive and negative face needs (Brown & Levinson, 1987 Brown, P and Levinson, SC. 1987. Politeness: Some universals in language usages, Cambridge, , UK: Cambridge University Press. [Crossref] , [Google Scholar]) and concerns for self-face and other-face (Ting-Toomey, 2005 Ting-Toomey, S. 2005. “The matrix of face: An updated face-negotiation theory”. In Theorizing about intercultural communication, Edited by: Gudykunst, WB. 71–92. Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage.  [Google Scholar]). Participants read vignettes that varied in relationship types (in-group vs. out-group members) and situation types (negative face vs. positive face threatening) and responded to scales measuring realism of the vignettes, intention to apologize, and five types of face need concerns. The findings showed that Chinese participants, compared to US Americans, had stronger intentions to apologize when their acts threatened the other person's positive face, while US American participants, compared to Chinese, had stronger intentions to apologize when their acts threatened the other's negative face. Other findings and implications thereof are discussed.
