In Shandong’s Heze, people not only grow beautiful flowers but also create a special industry (行业) by painting them. Heze is known as the “Peony (牡丹) Capital of China”. It has grown the beautiful flower for over 1,500 years. Thanks to this flower, another industry comes out. Many villagers make money from the painting of peonies.
In the village of Liuguantun, a group of more than 30 women usually meet at the painting club. They draw peonies there.
Xu Qian is 33 years old. She holds a pair of brushes in her right hand—one with colour and the other with water. She carefully paints peony flowers. “It takes her a week to finish a 1.8-meter-long painting,” she said. She can make around 3,000 yuan ($440) a month.
The peony painting industry is growing well in Liuguantun and the county of Juye. Many farm workers paint peony flowers. They can just make money at home.
“We usually teach farmers traditional Chinese painting for free. They needn’t pay anything. It takes villagers about one year to learn to draw the flower, or just half a year for fast learners,” said Xu Fengqiu, the teacher of the club.

In April 2025, a famous YouTuber iShowSpeed (real name Darren Watkins Jr., also called “甲亢哥” in China) visited China. He didn’t just travel—he jumped into Chinese culture and had lots of fun! One of the coolest things he tried was Hunan embroidery (湘绣).
In Changsha, Speed met a famous embroidery artist named Chang Ni. She showed him how to use a silver needle (银针) to stitch (缝) on silk. Speed gave it a try...and oops! His stitches were messy, and he laughed at himself. But he learned that even mistakes can be part of the art. Then he was amazed at the double-sided embroidery! This special style shows one picture on the front and a different one on the back all on the same cloth. Speed saw a piece with Yuelu Mountain on one side and another design on the other. He shouted, “That’s amazing! That’s different!” At the end, Chang Ni gave Speed a beautiful embroidered fan called Gentle Breeze (清风徐来). It was a gift of friendship.
Speed didn’t stop there. He practiced Kung Fu at the Shaolin Temple. He kicked, punched, and made everyone laugh with his funny moves. He also learned lion dancing and wore cool Hanfu (traditional Chinese clothes). Later in Shanghai, Speed watched a calligraphy show. Then he picked up a brush and tried it himself! He focused hard and carefully made each stroke. It was a quiet moment—different from his usual wild energy.
One fan called him “a digital Marco Polo” (数码马可·波罗). Speed helped show the world that Chinese culture is still alive and exciting. By showing embroidery and other crafts on his channel (频道), he helped more people learn and care about them. Millions of young fans said they became interested in Chinese traditions after watching him.

In the hands of Chinese artisans (手艺人), flour is made into lovely models of people or animals. This art form is called dough figurine (面塑). Among the different styles, Beijing’s Dough Figurine Lang is a special folk art. The nice and lovely handicrafts are storytellers of old and new Beijing. In 2008, it was included in the list of national intangible (非物质) cultural heritage (遗产).
It was created by Lang Shao’ an (郎绍安). He created animals and characters from important people’s stories, history stories, and local operas. What they finished is either put at the end of a thin stick, or on a table for people to see. Some are mostly for children to eat or play with, with simple shapes and colourful decorations, but some are nice pieces of artwork for people to see only. For this reason, during the making process, they are often mixed with additives (添加剂) to stop them from breaking up, and being eaten by animals. After a long time of practice, Lang Shao’ an is good at making dough figurine with beautiful designs.
Lang Jiaizyu (郎佳子彧), born in 1995, is the third- generation (代) man of dough Figurine Lang. By the age of five, he had already made his first dough figurines. When he was 15, he created Beijing Olympic Mascots- shaped dough figurines which were very famous. He looks a bit more fashionable than other folk works of art. In his skilled hands, some figures such as Nezha are popular with young people.
Like most of the other intangible cultural heritage handicrafts in China, not many people like the idea and design of dough Figurine Lang. Few young people are willing to take the time to master a skill that does not make money, which means fewer and fewer people want to spend time on learning the handicraft. Good handicrafts need time, energy and love of artisans from one generation to another.
22.What is special about dough Figurine Lang?
A.It shows people’s lifestyles and hobbies. B.It is popular with both tourists and the locals.
C.It is created by many famous artists. D.It shows Beijing’s colourful culture.
23.Why do artisans add additives to dough figurines?
A.To better protect the things people make. B.To help dough have different shapes.
C.To keep colors brighter and last longer. D.To make dough figurines taste good.
24.Which is the correct order of the following events?
a.dough Figurine Lang was included in the list of national intangible cultural heritage.
b.LangJiaizyu created Beijing Olympic Mascots- shaped dough figurines.
c.Lang Jiaizyu was born as the third- generation inheritor of dough Figurine Lang.
d.LangJiaizyu had made his first dough figurines.
A.a-c-b-d B.c-d-b-a C.a-c-d-b D.c-d-a-b
25.What does the passage mainly want to tell us?
A.To ask people to know some kinds of folk art.
B.To ask people to spend more time learning folk art.
C.To ask people to protect national cultural heritage handicrafts.
D.To teach people ways to enjoy and understand the handicrafts.

In the hands of Chinese artisans (手艺人), flour is made into lovely models of people or animals. This art form is called dough figurine (面塑). Among the different styles, Beijing’s Dough Figurine Lang is a special folk art. The nice and lovely handicrafts are storytellers of old and new Beijing. In 2008, it was included in the list of national intangible (非物质) cultural heritage (遗产).
It was created by Lang Shao’ an (郎绍安). He created animals and characters from important people’s stories, history stories, and local operas. What they finished is either put at the end of a thin stick, or on a table for people to see. Some are mostly for children to eat or play with, with simple shapes and colourful decorations, but some are nice pieces of artwork for people to see only. For this reason, during the making process, they are often mixed with additives (添加剂) to stop them from breaking up, and being eaten by animals. After a long time of practice, Lang Shao’ an is good at making dough figurine with beautiful designs.
Lang Jiaizyu (郎佳子彧), born in 1995, is the third- generation (代) man of dough Figurine Lang. By the age of five, he had already made his first dough figurines. When he was 15, he created Beijing Olympic Mascots- shaped dough figurines which were very famous. He looks a bit more fashionable than other folk works of art. In his skilled hands, some figures such as Nezha are popular with young people.
Like most of the other intangible cultural heritage handicrafts in China, not many people like the idea and design of dough Figurine Lang. Few young people are willing to take the time to master a skill that does not make money, which means fewer and fewer people want to spend time on learning the handicraft. Good handicrafts need time, energy and love of artisans from one generation to another.
22.What is special about dough Figurine Lang?
A.It shows people’s lifestyles and hobbies. B.It is popular with both tourists and the locals.
C.It is created by many famous artists. D.It shows Beijing’s colourful culture.
23.Why do artisans add additives to dough figurines?
A.To better protect the things people make. B.To help dough have different shapes.

b.LangJiaizyu created Beijing Olympic Mascots- shaped dough figurines.
c.Lang Jiaizyu was born as the third- generation inheritor of dough Figurine Lang.
d.LangJiaizyu had made his first dough figurines.

In April 2025, a famous YouTuber iShowSpeed (real name Darren Watkins Jr., also called “甲亢哥” in China) visited China. He didn’t just travel—he jumped into Chinese culture and had lots of fun! One of the coolest things he tried was Hunan embroidery (湘绣).
In Changsha, Speed met a famous embroidery artist named Chang Ni. She showed him how to use a silver needle (银针) to stitch (缝) on silk. Speed gave it a try...and oops! His stitches were messy, and he laughed at himself. But he learned that even mistakes can be part of the art. Then he was amazed at the double-sided embroidery! This special style shows one picture on the front and a different one on the back all on the same cloth. Speed saw a piece with Yuelu Mountain on one side and another design on the other. He shouted, “That’s amazing! That’s different!” At the end, Chang Ni gave Speed a beautiful embroidered fan called Gentle Breeze (清风徐来). It was a gift of friendship.
Speed didn’t stop there. He practiced Kung Fu at the Shaolin Temple. He kicked, punched, and made everyone laugh with his funny moves. He also learned lion dancing and wore cool Hanfu (traditional Chinese clothes). Later in Shanghai, Speed watched a calligraphy show. Then he picked up a brush and tried it himself! He focused hard and carefully made each stroke. It was a quiet moment—different from his usual wild energy.
One fan called him “a digital Marco Polo” (数码马可·波罗). Speed helped show the world that Chinese culture is still alive and exciting. By showing embroidery and other crafts on his channel (频道), he helped more people learn and care about them. Millions of young fans said they became interested in Chinese traditions after watching him.

In the hands of Chinese artisans (手艺人), flour is made into lovely models of people or animals. This art form is called dough figurine (面塑). Among the different styles, Beijing’s Dough Figurine Lang is a special folk art. The nice and lovely handicrafts are storytellers of old and new Beijing. In 2008, it was included in the list of national intangible (非物质) cultural heritage (遗产).
It was created by Lang Shao’ an (郎绍安). He created animals and characters from important people’s stories, history stories, and local operas. What they finished is either put at the end of a thin stick, or on a table for people to see. Some are mostly for children to eat or play with, with simple shapes and colourful decorations, but some are nice pieces of artwork for people to see only. For this reason, during the making process, they are often mixed with additives (添加剂) to stop them from breaking up, and being eaten by animals. After a long time of practice, Lang Shao’ an is good at making dough figurine with beautiful designs.
Lang Jiaizyu (郎佳子彧), born in 1995, is the third- generation (代) man of dough Figurine Lang. By the age of five, he had already made his first dough figurines. When he was 15, he created Beijing Olympic Mascots- shaped dough figurines which were very famous. He looks a bit more fashionable than other folk works of art. In his skilled hands, some figures such as Nezha are popular with young people.
Like most of the other intangible cultural heritage handicrafts in China, not many people like the idea and design of dough Figurine Lang. Few young people are willing to take the time to master a skill that does not make money, which means fewer and fewer people want to spend time on learning the handicraft. Good handicrafts need time, energy and love of artisans from one generation to another.

C.It is created by many famous artists. D.It shows Beijing’s colourful culture.
