Live: Understanding Chinese culture through natural phenomenon

Nature has had profound impact on Chinese culture throughout the civilization's long history. An example of this impact is "Jing Wei Fen Ming," a popular Chinese idiom that is used to explain clear boundaries and distinct positions. Literally meaning "to be as different as Jing and Wei," the idiom originates from the confluence of the Jing and Wei rivers in northwest China's Shaanxi Province. The converging rivers are set apart by a clear boundary due to a difference in sediment concentration. Join CGTN to see this fabulous natural phenomenon and its reflection on the Chinese culture.
