Folk customs are the traditional practices, beliefs, and stories that are passed down within a community. They reflect the values and history of a group of people. In China, folk customs have a long and rich history, with many different regional variations. One of the most well-known Chinese folk customs is the celebration of the Spring Festival. The Spring Festival has been celebrated for over 4,000 years. It is a time for families to reunite, share meals, and honour their ancestors. People clean their houses to sweep away bad luck and decorate with red paper cuts and couplets. Red is considered a lucky colour in Chinese culture. Another important custom is the Mid-Autumn Festival. On this day, families gather to admire the full moon and eat mooncakes. The round shape of the mooncakes symbolizes unity and completeness. The festival is also associated with the legend of Chang'e, the moon goddess. In addition to these major festivals, there are many other customs related to daily life, such as tea ceremonies, traditional medicine, and martial arts. These customs may seem old-fashioned to some young people, but they carry deep cultural meaning. However, many folk customs are at risk of dying out. As society becomes more modernized, some traditions are forgotten. According to a recent survey, over 40% of young people in China could not name all the traditional festivals correctly. This has caused concern among cultural experts, who are working to educate the public about the value of folk customs. 1. What is the main idea of the passage? A.

What does the underlined phrase "dying out" in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Becoming more popular. B. Being passed down to others. C. Gradually disappearing. D. Being changed into something new. 5. According to the survey mentioned in the passage, what problem exists among young people? A. They don't like to eat traditional food. B.

The Dragon Boat Festival, also known as Duanwu Festival, is a traditional Chinese folk custom that has been celebrated for over 2,000 years. It falls on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. The festival is held in memory of Qu Yuan, a great poet from the Warring States period. Qu Yuan was a loyal official who loved his country. When he saw that his kingdom was being destroyed by corruption, he felt deep despair. On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, he drowned himself in the Miluo River. The local people were heartbroken. They rushed out in their boats to search for him and threw rice dumplings into the river to prevent fish from eating his body. Today, the Dragon Boat Festival is celebrated in many countries around the world. The most famous activity is the dragon boat race. Teams of rowers paddle together to the beat of drums. The boats are beautifully decorated with dragon heads and tails. The races are exciting to watch and require great teamwork. Another important custom is eating zongzi — sticky rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo or reed leaves. Zongzi can be sweet or savoury. In the north of China, people often eat sweet zongzi with red bean paste. In the south, savoury zongzi filled with meat and salted egg yolk are more popular.

I'd like to introduce you to one of my favourite traditional festivals — the Mid-Autumn Festival, which falls on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month. On this day, families gather together to enjoy a big dinner and admire the full moon. We eat mooncakes, which are round pastries filled with sweet bean paste or nuts. The round shape symbolises unity and completeness. Children often carry colourful lanterns and play under the moonlight. This festival is very important to me because it's a time when my whole family comes together. My grandparents tell us stories about Chang'e, the moon goddess, and my mother teaches me how to make mooncakes. These moments make me feel connected to my roots and remind me of the values of love and harmony. I hope you have the chance to experience this beautiful tradition someday!
