Grandma: Come here, Xiaoling. Let me show you something special. This is the sugar painting my grandmother taught me when I was your age.
Xiaoling: It is beautiful! How is it made?

Xiaoling: That sounds difficult! Do many people still make sugar paintings?

1.Folk customs are the mirror of the past. They reflect the values, beliefs, and history of a community. From the way we celebrate festivals to the food we eat on special occasions, folk customs connect us to our roots.
2.One of the most important functions of folk customs is that they help explain identity. When we take part in traditional activities, we feel a sense of belonging. We understand who we are and where we come from. This is especially important in a world that is changing so fast.
3.Folk customs also bring communities together. During festivals like the Spring Festival or Mid-Autumn Festival, families gather and share special moments. These shared experiences create strong bonds between people and remind us of the importance of family and community.
4.However, many folk customs are in danger of disappearing. Young people are often more interested in modern entertainment than in traditional practices. Some customs are seen as old-fashioned or irrelevant. This loss would be a tragedy because once a custom disappears, it is gone forever.
5.To preserve folk customs, we need to make them relevant to young people. Schools can teach traditional arts. Communities can hold festivals that showcase local customs. And most importantly, families should pass down their traditions to the next generation.

A. They are old and dusty.
B. They reflect the values and history of a community.

Every culture has its own unique customs that have been developed over centuries. These traditions _______(31) down from one generation to the next, carrying with them the wisdom, values, and stories of our ancestors. They are an important part of who we are.

In a small village in Guizhou province, an elderly woman sits by her window, cutting red paper with skilled hands. She is one of the last masters of traditional Chinese paper cutting, an art form that has been practised for over 1,500 years.
Madam Li, now 78 years old, learned paper cutting from her grandmother when she was six. In those days, every girl in the village was expected to learn this skill. Paper cuttings were used to decorate windows, doors, and walls during festivals and weddings. Different patterns had different meanings: a dragon symbolised power, a fish represented wealth, and a double happiness character was used for weddings.
Today, however, Madam Li worries that this tradition will disappear. Young people in the village have moved to cities for work and study. They have little time or interest in learning paper cutting. She has tried to teach her grandchildren, but they find it too difficult and prefer to spend their time on their phones.
Despite this, Madam Li has not given up. She has started giving free classes at the local community centre. Although only a few students have come, she is happy to share her knowledge with anyone who is willing to learn. She says I do not want this art to end with me. As long as one person learns it, the tradition will live on.

In a small village in Guizhou province, an elderly woman sits by her window, cutting red paper with skilled hands. She is one of the last masters of traditional Chinese paper cutting, an art form that has been practised for over 1,500 years.
Madam Li, now 78 years old, learned paper cutting from her grandmother when she was six. In those days, every girl in the village was expected to learn this skill. Paper cuttings were used to decorate windows, doors, and walls during festivals and weddings. Different patterns had different meanings: a dragon symbolised power, a fish represented wealth, and a double happiness character was used for weddings.
Today, however, Madam Li worries that this tradition will disappear. Young people in the village have moved to cities for work and study. They have little time or interest in learning paper cutting. She has tried to teach her grandchildren, but they find it too difficult and prefer to spend their time on their phones.
Despite this, Madam Li has not given up. She has started giving free classes at the local community centre. Although only a few students have come, she is happy to share her knowledge with anyone who is willing to learn. She says I do not want this art to end with me.

One folk custom I know is making dumplings during the Spring Festival. Families gather together to prepare the filling and wrap the dumplings. It is believed that eating dumplings brings good luck. This custom is important because it brings family members together. It is not just about the food, but about spending time with loved ones and passing down traditions.
