1. National symbols of Ukraina

According to the constitution of Ukraine there are two national Ukrainian symbols

Ukraine was considered as an agricultural

country with fertile ground, so the blue color

symbolizes clear sky and the yellow color

 symbol, it appeared not only on coins but also on the church bricks and tiles.

Tryzub could also be seen on ancient Ukrainian weapons, ceramics, seals,

manuscripts and medallions. There are about 40 different theories about

Ukrainian Tryzub origin and meaning. Among the most popular :

courage and bravery.

Trinity.

2. Ukraine Traditional Food

Food is an important part of Ukrainian culture. Ukrainian cuisine has

developed over many centuries. Ukrainian cuisine was mainly based on the

products obtained from farming. Ukrainians have been growing rye, wheat,

barley, buckwheat and oats. Oats and barley were dominant in Carpathian

villages. In southern areas, Podnistrovyi and in the eastern Carpathians corn was

widespread.

Best-known Ukrainian dishes:Salo (salted pork fat with, or without garlic and

pepper), Borshch (cabbage and beets based soup, usually with pork or beef meat,

served with sour-cream), Pampushky (small baked breads, often buttered and

topped with garlic and dill), Holubtsi (cabbage rolls stuffed with rice and minced

meat), Varenyky (large stuffed dumplings, can be stuffed with potatoes, cottage

cheese, curds, meat, berries, etc.), Nalysnyky (very thin pancakes), Syrnyky (fried

cheese pancakes, usually served with sour cream, honey, or jam), Kisto, tisto or
 rizanka (home-made spaghetti), Holodets' or studen' (meat (beef, or pork) aspic,

prepared with garlic, onion, bay leaf and black pepper) and the national drink of

Ukraine is Uzvar. This is a compote of dried fruits: mainly apples, pears and

plums, but the different recipes Uzvar include raisins, dried cherries and dried

apricots.

3. Ukraine Traditional Dance and Clothes

Traditional dances are popular within Ukraine, many of which derive from

rural Cossack villages. One Ukrainian style of dancing is called the Kalyna. Both

men and women participate in this type of dancing.The women wear colourful

costumes, sometimes featuring a solid-coloured (usually blue, green, red, or black)

tunic and matching apron, and under that an open skirt, and below that a white

skirt with an embroidered hem that should reach an inch or so below the knee. If

they wear a tunic, then under that they wear a long-sleeved

richly embroidered white shirt.

Traditionally, women wear a type

of red leather boots to dance in. They

also wear a flower head piece

(vinok), that is a headband covered

with flowers and has long flowing

ribbons down the back that flow

when they dance, and plain red

coral necklaces.The men wear

baggy trousers (usually blue, white, black or red) and a shirt (usually white, but

sometimes black) embroidered at the neck and down the stomach. Over the shirt
 they sometimes will wear a richly embroidered vest. Around their waist they wear

a thick sash with fringed ends. Like the women, they wear boots, but these can be

black or white in addition to red.

Kalyna dancing involves partner dancing. One dance, called the pryvitannia, is

a greeting dance. It is slow and respectful, the women bow to the audience and

present bread with salt on a cloth and flowers. Another, called the hopak is much

more lively, and involves many fast-paced movements. Hence hopak as a dance is

derived from hopak martial art of Cossacks.

B. India

1. Indian greeting

The moment you step into India, in all probability, the first word you will get

to hear will be Namaste! Namaste, also said as Namaskar by the natives, is a

traditional Indian style of greeting or parting phrase as well as a gesture. Derived

from the Sanskrit language, the literal definition/meaning of the word Namaste is i

bow to you. If you want to dig deeper to know what does Namaste mean, you can

it break up into two Sanskrit words - Namas (meaning - to bow) and Te (meaning

- to you). Thus, its real connotation is i bow to you out of respect.

2. National flag of India

The National Flag of

India is a national symbol designed in

horizontal rectangular shape. It is

designed using three colours such as

deep saffron (top most), white (middle)

 and India green (lower most). The middle white colour contains navy blue Ashoka

Chakra (means Wheel of Law)in the centre having 24 spokes in the wheel.

The Flag of India means a lot to the people of India. It is of great significance

and honour to the Indian public. Indian Flag is made using a special type of clothe

called Khadi (hand-spun cloth popularized by the Mahatma Gandhi).

4. Indian classical dance

Classical

dance in India has

developed a type of

dance-drama that is a

form of a total theater.

story almost exclusively

through gestures. Most of the classical dances of India enact stories from Hindu

mythology. Each form represents the culture and ethos of a particular region or a

group of people.

The criteria for being considered as classical is the style's adherence to the

guidelines laid down in Natyashastra, which explains the Indian art of acting.

The Sangeet Natak Akademi currently confers classical status on eight Indian

classical dance styles: Bharatanatyam (Tamil Nadu), Kathak (North, West and

Central India), Kathakali (Kerala), Kuchipudi (AndhraPradesh), Odissi (Odissa),

Manipuri (Manipur), Mohiniyattam (Kerala), and Sattriya (Assam). All classical

Thailand is a constitutional monarchy and was a parliamentary democracy

until the coup in May 2014 by the National Council for Peace and Order. Its capital

and most populous city is Bangkok. It is bordered to the north by Myanmar and Laos,

to the east by Laos and Cambodia, to the south by the Gulf of Thailand and Malaysia,

and to the west by the Andaman Sea and the southern extremity of Myanmar. Its

maritime boundaries include Vietnam in the Gulf of Thailand to the southeast,

andIndonesia and India on the Andaman Sea to the southwest.

The national emblem of Thailand is called the Phra Khrut Pha "Garuda as the

vehicle" (of Vishnu). The Garuda was officially adopted as the national emblem by

King Vajiravudh (Rama VI) in 1911. However, the mythical creature had been used

as a symbol of royalty in Thailand for centuries. The Garuda is depicted onseals,

which are used by the King of Thailand and the Government of Thailand to

authenticate official documents and as its primary emblem.

The Garuda is a mythological beast of

the Hindu and Buddhist tradition. According to Hindu

mythology, the Garuda is the vahana(vehicle) of the god

Vishnu (more commonly known in Thailand

as Narayana). The ancient kings of Thailand believed

in divine kingship, and considered themselves the incarnation of the god Narayana.

Thus, the Garuda came to symbolise the divine power and authority of the king.

The flag of the Kingdom of Thailand (Thong Trairong, meaning

"tricolour flag) shows five horizontal stripes in the colours red, white, blue, white

and red, with the central blue stripe being twice as wide as each of the other four. The
design was adopted on 28 September 1917, according to the royal decree issued

by Rama VI that year.

The colours are said to stand for nation-

religion-king, an unofficial motto of Thailand,[1] red

for the land and people, white forreligions and blue

for the monarchy, the last having been the

auspicious colour of Rama VI.

The elephant is Thailand's national symbol.

Although there were 100,000 domesticated

elephants in Thailand in 1850, the population of

elephants has dropped to an estimated 2,000.

Poachers have long hunted elephants for ivory, meat, and hides. Young elephants are

often captured for use in tourist attractions or as work animals, although their use has

declined since the government banned logging in 1989. There are now more elephants

in captivity than in the wild, and environmental activists claim that elephants in

captivity are often mistreated.

E. China

Bian Que was according to legend, the earliest known Chinese physician. His

real name is said to be Qin Yueren, but his medical skills were so amazing that the

people gave him the same name as the legendary doctor Bian Que, from the time of

the Yellow Emperor. He was a native of the State of Qi.

According to the legend recorded in

the Records of the Grand Historian he was gifted

with clairvoyance from a deity when he was

working as a noble hostel staff. The legend states

that while being an attendant at the hostel, he

encountered an old man who stayed there for many

years. The old man was thankful of Bian Que's

attentive service and politeness, and gave him a

packet of medicine which he told Bian Que to boil in water. After taking this

medicine, he gained the ability to see through the human body. He thereby became an

excellent diagnostician with his X-ray-like ability. He also excelled in pulse taking

andacupuncture therapy. He is ascribed the authorship of Bian Que Neijing (Internal

Classic of Bian Que). Han Dynasty physiciansclaimed to have studied his works,

which have since been lost. Tales state that he was a doctor of many disciplines,

conforming to the local needs wherever he went. For example, in one city he was a

children's doctor, and in another a female physician.

One famous legend tells of how once when Bian Que was in the State of Cai,

he saw the lord of the state at the time and told him that he had a disease, which Bian

Que claimed was only in his skin. The lord brushed this aside as at that time he felt no

symptoms, and told his attendants that Bian Que was just trying to profit from the
fears of others. Bian Que is said to have visited the lord many times thereafter, telling

him each time how this sickness was becoming progressively worse, each time

spreading into more of his body, from his skin to his blood and to his organs. The last

time Bian Que went to see the lord, he looked in from afar, and rushed out of the

palace. When an attendant of the lord asked him why he had done this, he replied that

the disease was in the marrow and was incurable. The lord was said to have died soon

after.

Another legend stated that once, while visiting the state of Guo, he saw people

mourning on the streets. Upon inquiring what their grievances were, he got the reply

that the heir apparent of the lord had died, and the lord was in mourning. Sensing

something afoot, he is said to have gone to the palace to inquire about the

circumstances of the death. After hearing of how the prince "died", he concluded that

the prince had not really died, but was rather in a coma-like state. He set a single

acupuncture needle in the Baihu point on the head, helping the prince to regain

consciousness. Herbal medicine was boiled to help the prince sit up, and after Bian

Que prescribed the prince with more herbal medicine, the prince healed fully within

twenty days.

Bian Que advocated the four-step diagnoses of "Looking (at their tongues and

their outside appearances), Listening (to their voice and breathing patterns), Inquiring

(about their symptoms), and Taking (their pulse)."

The Daoist Liezi has a legend (tr. Giles 1912:81-83) that Bian Que

used anesthesia to perform a double heart transplantation, with the xin "heart; mind"

as the seat of consciousness. Gong Hu from Lu and Qi Ying from Zhao had opposite
imbalances of qi "breath; life-force" and zhi" will; intention". Gong had a qi "mental

power" deficiency while Qi had a zhi "willpower" deficiency.

Bian Que suggests exchanging the hearts of the two to attain balance. Upon

hearing his opinion, the patients agree to the procedure. Bian Que then gives the men

an intoxicating wine that makes them "feign death" for three days. While they are

under the anesthetic effects of this concoction, Bian Que "cut open their breasts,

removed their hearts, exchanged and replaced them, and applied a numinous

medicine, and when they awoke they were as good as new."
