No matter what you may buy, you might think those products were made in those countries. However, you could be wrong. Kin is a one seven year old student from shanghai last year. He went to visit his aunt, uncle in frcds, co. He found interesting, so many products in the local shops were made in china. I wanted to buy a toy car for my cousin, but even though most of the toys were american brands, they were made in china. Toys are not the only things made in china. I wanted to buy a pair of basketball shoes, he explains, but I had to visit five or six doors before finding a pair made america. He realized that americans can hardly avoid buying products made in china. In fact, he continues, there were many other things they are made in china, footballs, handbags, pay food, mobile phones. Even american flags are made in china country, and things is great that china is so good at making these everyday things. More importantly, china is also making more high technology products that people can buy and use in all parts of the world. Each different part of china has its own special forms of traditional art. These usually try to show the things that are important in life, such as love, beauty and family. The most common things from paper to clay to bamboo are turned into objects of beauty. According to chinese history, sky lanterns were first used by诸葛孔明。He sent them out to ask for help when in trouble. Today, sky lanterns are used at festivals and other celebrations. They are made of bamboo and covered with paper. When the lanterns are late, they slowly rise into the air like small hot air balloons for all to see. They are seen as bright symbols of happiness and good wishes. Paper cut in has been around for over one thousand five hundred years. Paper cut in sounds very easy, but I can be difficult to do. The paper, usually red, is folded before IT is cut with scissors. The most common pictures are flowers, animals and things about chinese history. During the spring festival, they are put on windows, doors and walls as symbols of wishes for good luck and a happy new year. Chinese clay art is famous because the clay pieces are so small, but they look very real. The pieces are usually cute children or lively characters from a chinese fairy tale or historical story. The pieces are carefully shaped by hand from a very special kind of clay, and then allow to air drive after drying. They are fired at a very high heat. They are then polished and painted. IT takes several weeks to complete everything. These small pieces of clay art show the love that all chinese people have for life and beauty.
