There is a Chinese idiom “taoli mantianxia”, referring to a teacher who has taught so many students that they spread across the country like peach and plum trees. Why are students compared to these two types of trees
The idiom comes from Zizhi, an official (大臣) who lived in the state of Wei during the Spring and Auturmn Period (BC770—BC476). Zizhi was a knowledgeable person. But he was not well liked by the king at the time, so he had to leave his state. To make a living, he opened a private school and started to teach students.
As a teacher, Zizhi was kind and wise. He chose students regardless of (不论) their wealth or social status (社会地位). He often pointed at a peach and a plum tree in his yard when asking his students to work hard. “You should become a useful person and do work to benefit society, just like when the peach and plum trees bloom and yield fruit,” he said.
Keeping these words in their minds, many of Zizhi’s students went on to different places around the country, achieving great things along the way. They would plant peach and plum trees to show their respect for their teacher.
When Zizhi traveled around the country and saw his students and the trees they planted, he was very pleased. “My students are like peach and plum trees. They are everywhere, and they have achieved great results.”
Since then, “peach and plum trees” has been used to refer to students who have been successful in their post-study careers.

Approach Traditional Skills
Recently our group has been working on the project “Approach Traditional Skills”. We have made some research and know more about our traditional skills. China is a country with a long history of 5, 000years. There are many traditional skills in China, such as Dough toy, paper cutting, shadow puppet plays and so on.
Paper cutting is a beautiful art form. Only simple tools like a piece of paper and a pair of scissors are required. People believe that good luck can be brought by the vivid paper cutting works. I hope that one day I can learn to make it.
Shadow puppets are made of hard leather, which is cut out in different shapes of a person, but I want to keep it alive.
Cormorant fishing was once practised in South-East China. No nets are required. To catch fish, the fishermen only use cormorants, which are good at swimming and stay under the water for up to two minutes. I think that it is interesting and well worth trying.
Dough toy is a toy made by monly, it is made into shape of a famous person or an animal, which is rich in color.
All of these Chinese traditional handicrafts are one of the most significant parts of Chinese culture. I hope you will like them and learn more about Chinese cuture.
