Drying, shaking and roasting are three of them. When Zhang shakes tea leaves, he has to decide when to stop by looking at the colour. “From shaking a few times to hundreds of times, only years of experience can help you find it out,” Zhang said. The last step, roasting, is also important. It often takes more than 20 hours! “Every 50 minutes, you have to turn over the leaves, or it might burn,” Zhang said. He often stays up late to roast the tea. Although Zhang is already good at it, he said he is still learning. “Every step is full of changes—different tea trees and weather.

They have become a symbol (标志) of Chinese culture. The following facts can bring you more surprises! Dragon dances can date back to the Han dynasty. They were then used in a special activity to show love and respect for ancestors (祖先) and wish for some good things, but they later developed into an entertainment activity. In the Tang and Song dynasties, most people began to celebrate festivals like the Chinese New Year with dragon dances. The dragon dance costume is made up of a large dragon’s head, and a long tail-like body in a number of parts, which are raised on poles. The dragon body, sometimes covered with a huge red cloth, is woven (编织) with pieces of thin bamboo like long and round pipes. The costume is also made of grass, paper and so on. It can be from 2 meters to 100 meters or even over 1,000 meters long. People think that the longer the dragon’s costume is, the more good luck it will bring! As an important part of Chinese culture, Chinese dragons have many good qualities. So people perform (表演) dragon dances in the hope that they will become powerful, lucky and rich. In ancient times, when it was dry for a long time, people performed a dragon dance. And dragon dances after planting crops were also a way to keep them safe from insects. Now, dragon dances are performed during some special events or festivals as a method of driving away evil spirits and welcoming good times. So, the meanings of dragon dances change as time goes by. With the spread of Chinese people and culture all over the world, dragon dances have been brought to every corner of the world. Among the Chinese New Year celebrations, dragon dances are especially attractive. Along with lion dances, they are often the most eye-catching part of the Chinese New Year parades.

Puppets are usually dressed in traditional costumes. They can do many movements, such as dancing with long sleeves and practising writing. Such puppets are from the hands of puppet makers like Wang Maowei, who is from Xiaoyi, Shanxi province. Wang Maowei, a 40-year-old artist, is good at making stick puppets. “I fell in love with puppet-making as a teenager and decided to make it a lifelong career,” he says. Recently, Wang has noticed that today’s people don’t want to sit for more than two hours watching a puppet play as people did before. He realizes that it is important to keep up with the times and be creative to make the puppets better. With his hard work, the puppets gain new life. Traditionally, stick puppets are made of wood and they are heavy to hold. Wang uses newspapers and a kind of cardboard to make the puppets lighter. Therefore, the puppets can be controlled more easily. The noses, eyes and mouths of the puppets can move more quickly now. In the past, homemade pigments (颜料) such as charcoal are used to decorate the puppets. Nowadays, puppet makers can use lots of paints to ensure the colourful “make-up” of the puppets. After these improvements, the well-designed puppets can not only do movements, but also perform bianlian or face-changing, a traditional Chinese opera trick. It is the balance of traditional puppet-making and modern art. “It costs time and energy to make a good puppet. However, all efforts pay off when I see how much the people love the new puppet play.” he says.

The following are some ways we can improve our self-respect. There is great stress from parents, work and society to become a certain person and to achieve certain goals. A real self-respect is very important and you should believe in your own values and remember what is important to you. Everyone needs to follow his or her own path. Nobody likes criticism (批评). To keep a sense of self-respect, we need to learn how to deal with criticism. Don’t get sad by the things someone else says or does. Maybe it is completely untrue, so pay no attention to it. If there is some truth, we can use it to develop our characters. Jealousy (嫉妒) of other people’s success will cause the loss of our happiness and self-respect. Jealousy is simply envy of other people’s success. The truth is that there will always be some people more successful than us. The method for lasting self-respect is to be happy with others’ success. If you have no respect for others, how can you have self-respect? It isn’t right to feel better by putting others down. If we look for good qualities in other people, it is easier to remember the good qualities in ourselves. Forgive others and yourself. Don’t live in the past, but move on from the past mistakes and difficult situations. If your mind is full of problems in the past, you will always feel sad. Self-respect comes when we get tolerant. Sometimes we work with the best of motives (动机) only to be sorry for the result.

The tea trees grow on rock cracks (岩缝) in Wuyi Mountain in Fujian. That’s why it’s called rock tea. Wuyi Rock Tea is famous for its rich smell. It has a fruity, floral and even mineral (矿物质的) smell. The best kind is Dahongpao. With its long history, Wuyi Rock Tea dates back to the Shang Dynasty. People used to send it to the emperor as a gift. In 2006, the skills of making Wuyi Rock Tea were listed to China’s national intangible cultural heritage list (非物质文化遗产名录). In March 2021, President Xi Jinping visited a tea garden in Wuyi Mountain. Zhang Huichun, 65, is a master of making Wuyi Rock Tea. In 1980, he learned to make the tea and opened a tea factory. It took him 10 years to learn the skills. There are 13 steps to make it. Drying, shaking and roasting are three of them. When Zhang shakes tea leaves, he has to decide when to stop by looking at the colour. “From shaking a few times to hundreds of times, only years of experience can help you find it out,” Zhang said. The last step, roasting, is also important. It often takes more than 20 hours! “Every 50 minutes, you have to turn over the leaves, or it might burn,” Zhang said. He often stays up late to roast the tea. Although Zhang is already good at it, he said he is still learning. “Every step is full of changes—different tea trees and weather. Every time is an adventure.” To help more tea makers, Zhang often works with schools to teach the skills. “It’s my responsibility (责任) to pass on the skills.” 1 Wuyi Rock Tea is a kind of Oolong tea.

They have become a symbol (标志) of Chinese culture. The following facts can bring you more surprises! Dragon dances can date back to the Han dynasty. They were then used in a special activity to show love and respect for ancestors (祖先) and wish for some good things, but they later developed into an entertainment activity. In the Tang and Song dynasties, most people began to celebrate festivals like the Chinese New Year with dragon dances. The dragon dance costume is made up of a large dragon’s head, and a long tail-like body in a number of parts, which are raised on poles. The dragon body, sometimes covered with a huge red cloth, is woven (编织) with pieces of thin bamboo like long and round pipes. The costume is also made of grass, paper and so on. It can be from 2 meters to 100 meters or even over 1,000 meters long. People think that the longer the dragon’s costume is, the more good luck it will bring! As an important part of Chinese culture, Chinese dragons have many good qualities. So people perform (表演) dragon dances in the hope that they will become powerful, lucky and rich. In ancient times, when it was dry for a long time, people performed a dragon dance. And dragon dances after planting crops were also a way to keep them safe from insects. Now, dragon dances are performed during some special events or festivals as a method of driving away evil spirits and welcoming good times. So, the meanings of dragon dances change as time goes by. With the spread of Chinese people and culture all over the world, dragon dances have been brought to every corner of the world. Among the Chinese New Year celebrations, dragon dances are especially attractive. Along with lion dances, they are often the most eye-catching part of the Chinese New Year parades.

Recently, Wang has noticed that today’s people don’t want to sit for more than two hours watching a puppet play as people did before. He realizes that it is important to keep up with the times and be creative to make the puppets better. With his hard work, the puppets gain new life. Traditionally, stick puppets are made of wood and they are heavy to hold. Wang uses newspapers and a kind of cardboard to make the puppets lighter. Therefore, the puppets can be controlled more easily. The noses, eyes and mouths of the puppets can move more quickly now. In the past, homemade pigments (颜料) such as charcoal are used to decorate the puppets. Nowadays, puppet makers can use lots of paints to ensure the colourful “make-up” of the puppets. After these improvements, the well-designed puppets can not only do movements, but also perform bianlian or face-changing, a traditional Chinese opera trick. It is the balance of traditional puppet-making and modern art. “It costs time and energy to make a good puppet. However, all efforts pay off when I see how much the people love the new puppet play.” he says.

The rubbish includes cigarette butts (烟头) and plastic bags. A group of European scientists looked into about 35, 000 studies on bird nests. They found that birds have used man-made things in nests almost everywhere on Earth, not including Antarctica. Some rubbish seems to be helpful. This is why birds like putting it in their nests. For example, cigarette butts have some chemicals (化学物质), so they can keep insects away and protect their babies. Plastic bags are useful in keeping the animals warm, and other hard things, such as paper cards, can make nests stronger. However, in the end, human rubbish may only bring more harm to birds. The toxic (有毒的) chemicals in cigarettes hurt their babies. They may get sick or have shorter lives, according to a 2014 study. To make matters worse, if the cigarette still burns when the bird brings it back to its home, it may set fire to the nest. Pieces of fishing net may also trap birds, and it’s impossible for them to get out by themselves. If their babies eat other kinds of rubbish by accident, they will also get hurt.

Or James and the Giant Peach? If you have, you are one of thousands of children who have read stories by Roald Dahl. Mr. Dahl is one of the most-read writers of children’s books. Many of his stories have been made into movies, like Fantastic Mr. Fox and The BFG. His book Matilda has been made into a musical play. And it is not just children who like his works. Adults do too.

After he finished school in England, he lived in many different places such as Newfoundland, Tanzania, Africa, and Washington, DC． He was a fighter pilot (战斗机飞行员) in World War Ⅱ. He wrote stories for adults. Many of these were published in magazines. But he is best known for his children’s stories. Maybe Mr. Dahl’s mother was one of the reasons he became a writer of children’s books. She told him and his sisters stories when they were young. He enjoyed the stories about giants and other strange living things. When he was older, he loved adventure stories. Mr. Dahl started to write his famous books for children after he had children of his own. He used to tell his children stories, just like his mother did with him. Then he started to write them.

Self-respect is a feeling of being happy about one’s characters, abilities and beliefs. Developing self-respect means developing self-confidence to deal with whatever life throws at us. The following are some ways we can improve our self-respect. There is great stress from parents, work and society to become a certain person and to achieve certain goals. A real self-respect is very important and you should believe in your own values and remember what is important to you. Everyone needs to follow his or her own path. Nobody likes criticism (批评). To keep a sense of self-respect, we need to learn how to deal with criticism. Don’t get sad by the things someone else says or does. Maybe it is completely untrue, so pay no attention to it. If there is some truth, we can use it to develop our characters. Jealousy (嫉妒) of other people’s success will cause the loss of our happiness and self-respect. Jealousy is simply envy of other people’s success. The truth is that there will always be some people more successful than us. The method for lasting self-respect is to be happy with others’ success. If you have no respect for others, how can you have self-respect? It isn’t right to feel better by putting others down. If we look for good qualities in other people, it is easier to remember the good qualities in ourselves. Forgive others and yourself. Don’t live in the past, but move on from the past mistakes and difficult situations. If your mind is full of problems in the past, you will always feel sad. Self-respect comes when we get tolerant. Sometimes we work with the best of motives (动机) only to be sorry for the result. It is the nature of life that things will not happen as we hoped, but it is a mistake to connect our sense of self-respect with the achievements.
