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

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 [Link] 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 [Link] 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

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

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

classical dance styles: Bharatanatyam (Tamil Nadu), Kathak (North, West and
Central India), Kathakali (Kerala), Kuchipudi (AndhraPradesh), Odissi (Odissa),

D. Thailand
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."
