“面子”是中國人際交往和商業往來中的典型現象。“面子”在漢語中沒有專門的定義，和“名聲”的概念相近。如果你不太熟悉中國文化，你應該了解一下“面 子”或“有面子”。如果你不給別人“留面子”，他們會認為你不尊重他們。中國人生 活的方方面面都有“面子”的影子。中國人不喜歡說“不”，因為他們想給雙方“留面子”，因此他們會說“現在不太方便”、“太難了”或“可能吧”，但是不會對別人只說-個“不”字。

　　中國功夫(Kung fo)是用于概括中國所有武術(martial arts)風格的常用術語。事實上漢語的“武術”是用來描述中國武述的確切傳統術語。功夫介紹了各種形式的內外風格，包括徒手(bare hands)武術和武器武術。近來，中國功夫已實現了現代化，訓練和競賽標準體系都已經設立。作為戰斗功能的補充，功夫已變成更運動、更具審美性、更有競爭力的體育形式。比起其他習武之人，也許李小龍更好地讓西方世界的人對中國武術的精彩招式大開眼界，因此越來越多的外國人到中國旅游，學習功夫的奧秘。
