中國民間藝術與中國哲學統一于“陰陽(yin-yang)生萬物”這一理念。這一理念源于中國原始社會，是對人類的人生感悟的哲學注解。中國人祖先的哲學論斷是“近看自己，遠觀他人”。要理解中華民族民間藝術的原始藝術，這一結論必不 可少。人類的本能欲望是生存并通過繁衍(propagation)繼續存在。人生來的首要 本能是求生，然后是長壽。從原始社會到今天，陰陽和永生的觀念始終貫穿中國的社會生活和民族文化。中國民間藝術反映了社會的所有基本哲學理念。

　　Chinese folk art and Chinese philosophy are unifiedin the belief that yin-yang produces all living things inthe world. Originated in Chinese primitive society,this was the philosophical explanation of human'sperception of life. Chinese ancestors philosophicalconclusion was to “look at oneself up close and other creatures from afar”，which is essentialto the understanding of the primitive art to the folk art of the nation. To live and to continuelife through propagation are the two instinctive desires of human. From birth, a person's firstinstinct is to survive, and then to live a long life. From primitive society to the present day,the view of yin-yang and perpetual life has permeated in all aspects of social life and thenational culture of Chinese society.Chinese folk art reflects all of the basic philosophicalconcepts.

　　中文熱詞通常反映社會變化和文化，有些在外國媒體上愈來愈流行。例如，土豪(tuhao)和大媽(dama)都是老詞，但是已獲取了新的意義。 土豪以前指欺壓佃戶和仆人的鄉村地主，現在用于指花錢如流水或者喜歡炫耀財富的人，也就是說，土豪有錢，但沒有品位。大媽是對中年婦女的稱呼，但現在特指不久前金價下跌時大量購買黃精的中國婦女。 土豪和大媽可能會被人收入新版牛津(Oxford)英語詞典，至今已有約120個中文詞被加進了牛津英語詞典，成為了英語語言的一部分。

　　The Chinese heated words usually reflectsocial changes and culture, some of which are increasingly popular with foreignmedia. Tuhao and dama, for example, are both old words, but they get differentmeanings now。

　　The word tuhao used to mean rural landlordswho oppress their tenants and servants, while now it refers to people spendingmoney without limits or those showing off all around. That is to say, tuhaoowns money rather than taste. The word dama is used to describe middle-agedwomen. However, it is regarded as a special word to call those Chinese womenwho rushed to purchase gold when the gold price decreased sharply not long ago。

　　Tuhaoand dama may be included in the new Oxford dictionary. Up to now, about 120Chinese words have been listed in it and became part of the English language.
