With dry soil and heavy winds, sandstorms may happen more often. There is an old custom in southern China that people drink tea on the day of Grain Rain. Spring tea during Grain Rain is good for the eyes. It is also said that drinking tea on this day would prevent bad luck. People in northern China have the tradition to eat the vegetable toona sinensis (香椿）during Grain Rain. An old Chinese saying goes “toona sinensis before the rain is as tender(柔软的） as silk”. The vegetable is good for the stomach. The Grain Rain Festival is celebrated by fishing villages in northern China. Grain Rain marks the start of the fishermen’s first voyage of the year.

But how about people in ancient times? In the very beginning, the cleverest among them thought of using stones and seashells. Then, around the 2nd century B.C., they invented the abacus. Some researchers consider the invention to be the world’s oldest “calculator”. In China, people used abacuses to do calculations for thousands for years. The abacus（算盘） is usually made of wood. It has many beads(珠子). Each rod(竿) stands for a different digit(数位). The rightmost is ones, the second is tens, the third is hundreds, and so on. Each bead in the central area has a value. In the past, the use of the abacus was taught in all schools. It was considered to be an important skill that everybody needed to pick up. Wherever there was a need for calculations, an abacus would come into sight. Today, abacuses are no longer widely used. Perhaps you have never seen one. However, we can still feel the important roles they once played. Abacuses have become a symbol. Because they used to be a must-have for business people, some have come to believe that abacuses can help their owners gather wealth. ( ) 44.

The regulation（规定）says that pedestrians who look at their mobile phones while crossing the road first receive a warning or a fine of 50 yuan if they refuse to correct their behaviour. “The warning is not a simple reminder. It is a legal（合法的） way with a legal punishment notice given to the pedestrians, ” Xing Yi, an official of the government, said. “Those who refuse to cooperate with the traffic police or whose behaviour harms other people will be fined 50 yuan.” Zhou Xin works in a busy area in Tianjin. He says that he gives such punishment three to five times each day, and that most of the time the legal warning is useful. “More and more people look at their mobile phones while crossing roads, which raises the risk of traffic accidents, ” said Yang Yingjun, another official of the government. “The regulation is trying to make people pay more attention to safety when they walk.” Yang said that in 2019, a local university student who was looking at his mobile phone while crossing a road was hit and killed by a large truck. Similar accidents have been reported in many cities, such as Taizhou and Wenzhou, so those cities have similar regulations. Many people have expressed their support for the regulation. “I think heavier fines should be given to people who look at their mobile phones on the road, ” said a netizen. 47.

It provides a lifeline for hundreds of millions of people. It covers an area of 1.8 million square kilometres, about a fifth of the national total. The river also provides a third of our country’s fresh water resources. Along with the Yellow River, it is considered as China’s “mother river”. However, in recent years, this “mother river” has met with some environmental problems. It was seriously polluted and the number of the fish is getting smaller. To solve these problems, the government passed the Yangtze River Protection Law. The law came into force on March 1, 2021. There are nine parts in the law, covering areas such as resource protection, anti-pollution measures, green development and legal responsibilities. More importantly, the law has introduced a fishing ban(禁令) on the Yangtze River’s natural waterways. According to the new law, both the central government and local organizations would put the river protection into their economic(经济的) and social development plans. Around 231 000 fishermen had given up their fishing rights along the Yangtze River. Chinese Vice-premier Han Zheng said that more support should be given to these people to help them find new jobs.
