There, Konthee saw phalaenopses(蝴 蝶 兰) for the first time. The flower seler told him that the flower symbolizes wealth and longevity(长寿) in China. This reminded him of the knowledge of Chinese culture he had learned before. “When I was learning Chinese, I learned that in ancient China, plum blossoms, orchids, bamboo and chrysanthemums(梅、兰、 竹、菊) stood for a gentleman􀆳s character,” Konthee said. Konthee was also amazed by begonias (秋海棠). They represent deep love.

Besides the unique cultural background that gives flowers their imagery, the rich history of China also influenced the naming of many flowers. Peonies(牡丹), for example, have also been known as “the Luoyang flower” because Luoyang has had the most kinds of peonies since the Tang Dynasty. Konthee􀆳s photography catches these natural wonders. His journey has taught him more about the flowers in Chinese culture. 根据短文内容,回答下列问题。(每题答案 不超过6词) 1. Where did Konthee see many flowers in Kunming? 2. What did plum blossoms, orchids, bamboo and chrysanthemums stand for in ancient China? 3. How did Konthee feel when he knew about begonias? 4.

In my home town, many paths have turned into wide roads. As a result, it is easier for us to travel. People used to walk or ride bikes to work, but now they often take buses and many even drive their own cars. In schools, students study in the new teaching buildings instead of old houses. There they learn not only from books but also through computers. I hope we wil live a better life in the future. I wil study much harder so that I can realise my dream.
