Now, a new kind of shadow puppet show is on in Tengchong City, Yunnan Province. This show is different because it uses 4D technology (技术) and other technologies to make people feel like they are part of the story.
“It’s a great watching experience. I didn’t know shadow puppet shows could be enjoyed in such a special way,” a young woman said after seeing the show.
Getting ideas from 4D movies, Liu Chaokan, who comes from a family of shadow puppet artists, came up with the idea of a 4D shadow puppet show and has been making preparations (准备工作) for the show for nearly four years. He is the sixth-generation inheritor (第六代继承人) of shadow puppetry in his family, and he looks forward to making this old art keep going.

Do you wear clothes with colorful patterns Most of these patterns are dyed (染色) by machines. But how did ancient people dye their clothes
Tie-dye (扎染) is a very old way of dyeing clothes in China—it’s more than 1,000 years old. It is most popular among the Bai ethnic group (白族) in Yunnan. The Bai people usually make blue dye from plants. During the Tang and Song dynasties, people gave tie-dyed clothes to the emperor (帝王) as gifts.
To tie-dye, you first need to use threads (线) to tie your cloth together. Then you put the cloth into the dye. As the cloth is folded and dyed, some parts become dark blue, while other parts have a lighter color. When you open out the cloth, you’ll see beautiful patterns.
In 2006, the tie-dye technique became China’s national intangible cultural heritage. Anning in Yunnan is known for tie-dye.
Yang Cheng, 52, learned to tie-dye from his mother in the 1980s. Now he is still doing the job and has passed the skill down to his daughter. He is an inheritor (传承人) of tie-dye in Anning.
“Tie-dye is worthy of the efforts of generations of people,” Yang said.
Yang carried on the old skills of tie-dye. At the same time, he studied tie-dye in other countries, such as Japan, India and France. He also used some creative designs.
Yang now teaches tie-dye in schools, communities and companies. More than 100,000 people have learned from him, he said.
Some worry that tie-dye may die out because using machines is fast and cheap. But Yang said, “Machines can’t take the place of our creative (富有创造力的) hands.”

Thang-ga (唐卡) is a special kind of painting. It was found only in Xizang, China. It started from the Tang dynasty (唐朝). Thang-ga paintings show Xizang people’s lives. In recent years, Thang-ga paintings have caught the public’s attention. At the same time, the Chinese government has also tried hard to protect the art.
The colors of Thang-ga paintings look wonderful and special. Because of the special environment of Xizang and the excellent skills of artists, the paints (颜料) used in Thang-ga paintings are different from other paints. They were made from minerals like gold and silver, as well as some plants. The paints were made by hand and the beautiful colors could last (持续) for hundreds of years.
However, with the development of technology, people now use cheaper and easily-made chemicals to make Thang-ga paints. The traditional paints used in Thang-ga paintings took a lot of work and they were made in many secret ways. Later people stopped making the paints and forgot about them. So the skills needed to make them were almost lost. The traditional Thang-ga paintings are difficult to find now.Thang-ga Information Table

You may think you can’t live in summer with no air conditioners (空调). But in ancient (古代的) China, hand fans (扇子) were the only help for people to keep cool. Chinese people started to use hand fans about 2,000 years ago.
The fans have different shapes (形状), like round and square (方的). They are usually made from all kinds of things. Palm leaf (棕榈叶) fans are cheap and easy to make. Sandalwood (檀香) fans have a sweet smell.
Now, hand fans are not just something for people to cool down. They become artworks. Tuanshan and zheshan are the most popular.
Tuanshan is like a full moon. There are beautiful birds and flowers on tuanshan. In ancient China, women liked to use it. Poets (诗人) often use tuanshan to describe a woman’s unlucky life. Nalan Xingde wrote, “If only life were as beautiful as when we first met, why should the autumn wind bother to pity deserted painted fan ”
But men, especially literati (尤其是文人), usually like to use zheshan. Because zheshan is usually made of paper and they can write on it. Today Chinese people still use these fans. Next time you see a fan, you may think of the stories behind it.

In a small village in China, there lives an old man named Mr. Zhang. He is a master of bamboo weaving, a traditional craft passed down in his family for generations. Every day, he sits under a tree, weaving baskets and fans with skillful hands.
Many years ago, few people wanted to learn this craft because it was difficult and didn’t pay well. Mr. Zhang felt lonely, but he never gave up. He spent hours practicing repeatedly, even when his fingers hurt or the bamboo broke. “Patience is the key,” he always told himself. Though the work was hard he believed every small effort had meaning—it kept a piece of Chinese culture alive.
On a cold winter night, heavy rain broke most of Mr. Zhang’s bamboo. Instead of giving up, Mr. Zhang walked miles to find new bamboo and worked late into the night to finish his orders. Slowly, his beautiful works began to attract attention.
Now, more young people come to learn from him. Mr. Zhang teaches them not just skills, but also the spirit of hard work. “Traditional crafts are like old friends,” he says with a smile. “They remind us who we are.”

In the past three years, 32-year-old Kang Jian has created more than 400 dough sculptures (面塑) and become a master of the dough sculpture in Mohe, Heilongjiang Province.
Kang Jian fell in love with dough sculpture when he was a child. Every time his parents made dumplings, he would ask for a small piece of dough to make animals like a rabbit, a fish or a snail. Those small dough animals brought him lots of good childhood memories. However, Kang didn’t learn art in college. His family was poor. His parents didn’t have enough money for his art education. Kang left college in 2016 and worked in the Mohe Forestry Bureau.
In 2018, during a visit to a museum in Beijing, Kang Jian learned something about dough sculpting. Then he had the idea of taking his childhood interest up. He visited some famous artists and learned to make dough sculptures from them.
As a lover of Chinese literature, Kang Jian would like to make dough sculptures of Chinese heroes, such as Monkey King and Guan Yu. In April 2022, he even finished the dough sculptures of 108 heroes from the novel Outlaws of the Marsh after 16 months of work.
When Kang Jian is free, he will give classes at schools to teach students to make dough sculptures. He is happy to have a chance to tell young people about dough sculptures and stories about Chinese folk heroes. Thanks to him, more young people will take up this kind of art.

将传统和现代元素融合的汉服成为时尚新宠
Is there anyone around you wearing a horse-faced skirt It is a type of hanfu, the traditional style of clothing of the Han people. It is now getting so popular that some people wear it daily.
On March 6, a Douyin report showed that the order for horse-faced skirts went up by 841 percent compared to the past year.
As hanfu becomes popular, traditional and modern fashions (时尚) are coming together. This has influenced not only clothing styles but also people’s cultural ideas.
Some hanfu lovers think that each design (设计) of hanfu has its own cultural meaning. They believe these should be strictly followed. However, other buyers think beauty and comfort (舒适) are more important.
Zhou Shuang, 37, designs character outfits (服装) for film and television. She pointed out that for those who don’t know much about traditional clothing, it’s understandable that they want to mix ancient beauty and modern fashion.
This is known as the neo-Chinese style. “Neo-Chinese style clothing doesn’t only use traditional elements (元素). It puts together modernity (现代) and tradition naturally,” said Zhou. She added that it shows how traditional beauty continues to be valued by Chinese people today.
“I’ve noticed that there are so many people wearing horse-faced skirts on the streets now, from young women to children. It’s unbelievable,” said Wang Zicheng, a 23-year-old hanfu lover.
By MENG WENJIE, 21st Century
Basic Design Elements of Traditional ‘Hanfu’
According to Zhou Shuang, traditional hanfu features three special designs:
Crossed “y” shaped collars (领口)
Loose-fitting clothes and wide sleeves (袖子)
Fastened with ribbons (带子) instead of buttons.

There is a special porcelain item (瓷器制品) in Chaozhou, Guangdong Province. It has up to 10,000 hollows (镂空) and beautiful clay flowers. This is Tonghua porcelain. It became a national intangible cultural heritage in 2008.
It takes around 20 steps and 45 days to turn a design on paper into a finished porcelain item. And designing is not easy. If a hollow is too large, it can crack (裂开) during firing. When making a flower, the maker also has to be quick, or the clay will become too dry.
Ye Hao is a 29-year-old inheritor (传承人) of Tonghua porcelain. His family are good at making porcelain. As there are fewer people in Chaozhou with Tonghua skills, he thinks it is important to learn the art. He started his study in high school.
Ye always gets ideas from life. He once had a design in the shape of a fan in his work. He got the idea from the feathers of a peacock he saw at a zoo. Ye is also trying to be creative with the art. He once used the main characters from animations (动漫) in his design of six Tonghua porcelain vases. Ye said he will keep trying to show the art to more people with fresh ideas.

Wax printing (蜡染) is an ancient way of producing dyed textiles (染色纺织品). It is an important part of traditional Chinese culture. It is believed that wax printing appeared in China as early as the Qin and Han dynasties and got popular in the Sui and Tang dynasties. There is an interesting story about how wax printing was invented. Once upon a time, a girl was fond of dyeing (染色) white cloth blue and purple. One day, while she was working, a bee landed on her cloth. She got the bee away and found there was beeswax (蜂蜡) on the cloth. After she dyed the cloth, she saw a round white mark on the cloth. It looked very pretty. Her finding later led to the use of wax in dyeing.
Wax printing has many steps (步骤). First, draw some pictures of flowers, birds, fish, etc. on a piece of white cloth. Then use a special knife-like tool to spread melted (融化的) wax on the pictures. After that, put the cloth into a dye bath so that the unwaxed part take on the colour. Finally, wash the dyed cloth in boiling water and wait for the wax to melt, leaving clear pictures in white on the dyed cloth.
Today, wax printing is mainly used in some ethnic minority (少数民族) areas in Guizhou, Yunnan, Sichuan, and Guangxi. Some girls in those areas are highly skilled at wax printing.

Now, a new kind of shadow puppet show is on in Tengchong City, Yunnan Province. This show is different because it uses 4D technology (技术) and other technologies to make people feel like they are part of the story.
“It’s a great watching experience. I didn’t know shadow puppet shows could be enjoyed in such a special way,” a young woman said after seeing the show.
Getting ideas from 4D movies, Liu Chaokan, who comes from a family of shadow puppet artists, came up with the idea of a 4D shadow puppet show and has been making preparations (准备工作) for the show for nearly four years. He is the sixth-generation inheritor (第六代继承人) of shadow puppetry in his family, and he looks forward to making this old art keep going.

阅读下列短文，根据短文内容回答问题，答案不超过7个词。
Do you wear clothes with colorful patterns Most of these patterns are dyed (染色) by machines. But how did ancient people dye their clothes
Tie-dye (扎染) is a very old way of dyeing clothes in China—it’s more than 1,000 years old. It is most popular among the Bai ethnic group (白族) in Yunnan. The Bai people usually make blue dye from plants. During the Tang and Song dynasties, people gave tie-dyed clothes to the emperor (帝王) as gifts.
To tie-dye, you first need to use threads (线) to tie your cloth together. Then you put the cloth into the dye. As the cloth is folded and dyed, some parts become dark blue, while other parts have a lighter color. When you open out the cloth, you’ll see beautiful patterns.
In 2006, the tie-dye technique became China’s national intangible cultural heritage. Anning in Yunnan is known for tie-dye.
Yang Cheng, 52, learned to tie-dye from his mother in the 1980s. Now he is still doing the job and has passed the skill down to his daughter. He is an inheritor (传承人) of tie-dye in Anning.
“Tie-dye is worthy of the efforts of generations of people,” Yang said.

Thang-ga (唐卡) is a special kind of painting. It was found only in Xizang, China. It started from the Tang dynasty (唐朝). Thang-ga paintings show Xizang people’s lives. In recent years, Thang-ga paintings have caught the public’s attention. At the same time, the Chinese government has also tried hard to protect the art.
The colors of Thang-ga paintings look wonderful and special. Because of the special environment of Xizang and the excellent skills of artists, the paints (颜料) used in Thang-ga paintings are different from other paints. They were made from minerals like gold and silver, as well as some plants. The paints were made by hand and the beautiful colors could last (持续) for hundreds of years.
However, with the development of technology, people now use cheaper and easily-made chemicals to make Thang-ga paints. The traditional paints used in Thang-ga paintings took a lot of work and they were made in many secret ways. Later people stopped making the paints and forgot about them. So the skills needed to make them were almost lost. The traditional Thang-ga paintings are difficult to find now.Thang-ga Information Table

You may think you can’t live in summer with no air conditioners (空调). But in ancient (古代的) China, hand fans (扇子) were the only help for people to keep cool. Chinese people started to use hand fans about 2,000 years ago.
The fans have different shapes (形状), like round and square (方的). They are usually made from all kinds of things. Palm leaf (棕榈叶) fans are cheap and easy to make. Sandalwood (檀香) fans have a sweet smell.
Now, hand fans are not just something for people to cool down. They become artworks. Tuanshan and zheshan are the most popular.
Tuanshan is like a full moon. There are beautiful birds and flowers on tuanshan. In ancient China, women liked to use it. Poets (诗人) often use tuanshan to describe a woman’s unlucky life. Nalan Xingde wrote, “If only life were as beautiful as when we first met, why should the autumn wind bother to pity deserted painted fan ”
But men, especially literati (尤其是文人), usually like to use zheshan. Because zheshan is usually made of paper and they can write on it. Today Chinese people still use these fans. Next time you see a fan, you may think of the stories behind it.

In a small village in China, there lives an old man named Mr. Zhang. He is a master of bamboo weaving, a traditional craft passed down in his family for generations. Every day, he sits under a tree, weaving baskets and fans with skillful hands.
Many years ago, few people wanted to learn this craft because it was difficult and didn’t pay well. Mr. Zhang felt lonely, but he never gave up. He spent hours practicing repeatedly, even when his fingers hurt or the bamboo broke. “Patience is the key,” he always told himself. Though the work was hard he believed every small effort had meaning—it kept a piece of Chinese culture alive.
On a cold winter night, heavy rain broke most of Mr. Zhang’s bamboo. Instead of giving up, Mr. Zhang walked miles to find new bamboo and worked late into the night to finish his orders. Slowly, his beautiful works began to attract attention.
Now, more young people come to learn from him. Mr. Zhang teaches them not just skills, but also the spirit of hard work. “Traditional crafts are like old friends,” he says with a smile. “They remind us who we are.”

将传统和现代元素融合的汉服成为时尚新宠
Is there anyone around you wearing a horse-faced skirt It is a type of hanfu, the traditional style of clothing of the Han people. It is now getting so popular that some people wear it daily.
On March 6, a Douyin report showed that the order for horse-faced skirts went up by 841 percent compared to the past year.
As hanfu becomes popular, traditional and modern fashions (时尚) are coming together. This has influenced not only clothing styles but also people’s cultural ideas.
Some hanfu lovers think that each design (设计) of hanfu has its own cultural meaning. They believe these should be strictly followed. However, other buyers think beauty and comfort (舒适) are more important.
Zhou Shuang, 37, designs character outfits (服装) for film and television. She pointed out that for those who don’t know much about traditional clothing, it’s understandable that they want to mix ancient beauty and modern fashion.
This is known as the neo-Chinese style. “Neo-Chinese style clothing doesn’t only use traditional elements (元素). It puts together modernity (现代) and tradition naturally,” said Zhou. She added that it shows how traditional beauty continues to be valued by Chinese people today.
“I’ve noticed that there are so many people wearing horse-faced skirts on the streets now, from young women to children. It’s unbelievable,” said Wang Zicheng, a 23-year-old hanfu lover.
By MENG WENJIE, 21st Century
Basic Design Elements of Traditional ‘Hanfu’
According to Zhou Shuang, traditional hanfu features three special designs:
Crossed “y” shaped collars (领口)
Loose-fitting clothes and wide sleeves (袖子)
Fastened with ribbons (带子) instead of buttons.

There is a special porcelain item (瓷器制品) in Chaozhou, Guangdong Province. It has up to 10,000 hollows (镂空) and beautiful clay flowers. This is Tonghua porcelain. It became a national intangible cultural heritage in 2008.
It takes around 20 steps and 45 days to turn a design on paper into a finished porcelain item. And designing is not easy. If a hollow is too large, it can crack (裂开) during firing. When making a flower, the maker also has to be quick, or the clay will become too dry.
Ye Hao is a 29-year-old inheritor (传承人) of Tonghua porcelain. His family are good at making porcelain. As there are fewer people in Chaozhou with Tonghua skills, he thinks it is important to learn the art. He started his study in high school.
Ye always gets ideas from life. He once had a design in the shape of a fan in his work. He got the idea from the feathers of a peacock he saw at a zoo. Ye is also trying to be creative with the art. He once used the main characters from animations (动漫) in his design of six Tonghua porcelain vases. Ye said he will keep trying to show the art to more people with fresh ideas.

Wax printing (蜡染) is an ancient way of producing dyed textiles (染色纺织品). It is an important part of traditional Chinese culture. It is believed that wax printing appeared in China as early as the Qin and Han dynasties and got popular in the Sui and Tang dynasties. There is an interesting story about how wax printing was invented. Once upon a time, a girl was fond of dyeing (染色) white cloth blue and purple. One day, while she was working, a bee landed on her cloth. She got the bee away and found there was beeswax (蜂蜡) on the cloth. After she dyed the cloth, she saw a round white mark on the cloth. It looked very pretty. Her finding later led to the use of wax in dyeing.
Wax printing has many steps (步骤). First, draw some pictures of flowers, birds, fish, etc. on a piece of white cloth. Then use a special knife-like tool to spread melted (融化的) wax on the pictures. After that, put the cloth into a dye bath so that the unwaxed part take on the colour. Finally, wash the dyed cloth in boiling water and wait for the wax to melt, leaving clear pictures in white on the dyed cloth.
Today, wax printing is mainly used in some ethnic minority (少数民族) areas in Guizhou, Yunnan, Sichuan, and Guangxi. Some girls in those areas are highly skilled at wax printing.
