Despite the cold outside, their happy faces fill the air with warmth while merry laughter rings throughout the house.

After dinner, the hours until midnight⑭ go slowly by. The whole family are going to stay up late⑮ on the Chinese New Year's Eve. They gather around the television to watch the Spring Festival Gala, while eating snacks⑯, chatting with each other and making dumplings that they will eat at the very start of the new year. In the warmth and comfort of the room, Luo Yan talks about his plan for the future. “I hope we won't have to be separated again,” he says,
looking at his ageing parents. “My parents are getting old, and we should spend more time with them. We'll come back more frequently and we're also considering taking them to the city to live with us. After all⑰, home is where all family members are together.”

To maximize publicity, Shi released his work in three forms: video, animation and picture.The background sounds add to the brilliance.
“When I watch the short video, I can strongly feel the Chinese-style elements hidden in them.And it is really cool to liven up Chinese traditional culture in such a unique way,” an online user Xiao Feifei said.
“It is really a comfort to me to see so many people like my latest work.To be honest, it would really surprise me if the work does not arouse great interest among Chinese people.The 24 solar terms is a deeply rooted concept that covers the essence of Chinese wisdom.However, only a small portion of people know all the names or the correct order of those terms.My intention is to increase Chinese people's self-awareness to learn more about our traditional fine culture.Actually, the 24 solar terms work is only a part of my whole design program Charm China, which I started over a year ago,” Shi told China Daily.

The Sister Rice Festival is held every year in Guizhou's Taijiang County, where 97 percent of the 168,000 people are from the Miao ethnic(民族的) group.It is an ancient tradition, which brings men and women together through food, gifts and music.
In the days before the festival, young women gather leaves and wild flowers, which they use to dye (给……染色) sticky rice with bright colors.This brightly colored rice, known as Sister Rice, gives the festival its name.During the festival, the young women dress in beautiful traditional clothes with large amounts of silver jewellery (首饰).
The festival includes parades, horse races and musical performances.But the real focus is the interaction between the young women and the young men who visit from surrounding villages and sing songs.In one traditional type of song, a man and a woman take turns to sing to each other, and the first one to make a mistake loses the game.The loser must give the winner a gift, but the winner is expected to give a gift in return, too.
After meeting the men, the women send them home with a bamboo basket containing dyed rice and hidden objects with special meanings.For example, a pair of chopsticks indicates that she wants to marry the man, while garlic shows that she is not interested.
One of several stories about the festival's origin is about a girl and a boy who fell in love.The girl's parents wanted her to marry her uncle's son.She refused, and the boy likewise refused to marry anyone else.For a time, they could only meet in a field and pass hidden messages to each other through rice in a bamboo basket.Finally, the pair overcame their parents' opposition and were allowed to marry.
The Sister Rice Festival is perhaps the oldest festival in Asia that encourages love.

At last,notice the count of your inhalation (吸入). Whatever the count of your inhalation,you will stop at the top of the breath for the same count,and then exhale for double that count. For example,if you inhale for a count of three,you will stop for a count of three,and then exhale for a count of six. By doing that,you are turning off the fight-or-flight part of the nervous system and increasing the rest part of the nervous system. 5
