Preface
Asia is one of the cradles of human civilization. The Asian
Games is the largest sports gala and a cultural platform for multi-
civilization exchanges and mutual learning in Asia. The growing
splendor of the Asian Games shows the diversified prosperity
and vitality of Asian civilization, culture and values, and reflects
the vigorous vitality and creativity of the Asian people. The 19th
Asian Games, which will be held in Hangzhou as a national grand
event, will improve the international reputation and the all-round
economic and social development of the host city, and further
promote the development of China’s Olympic cause. We have full
confidence to make it an unforgettable event in the history of the
Asian Games in accordance with the concept of “Green, Smart,
Economical, Ethical”.
China is an ancient country with a long history and splendid
culture. As one of the common languages of China and even the
world, Chinese is an important symbol of the Chinese ancient
civilization. It is not only a tool for communication, but also
carries the profound connotation of Chinese culture. Besides,
Chinese is the most widely used language in the world with about
1.5 billion speakers, and also one of the six working languages
of the United Nations. It is generally believed that language is
the best medium and bridge to know a country and its people
and A Practical Chinese Handbook for the 19th Asian Games is
supposed to provide a strong support for international friends to
have a good understanding of China.
