Stories and Art of Chinese Fans
You may think you cannot live through summer without air conditioners. But in ancient China，hand fans were almost the only ones to help people keep cool.
Chinese people started to use hand fans over 2,000 years ago. The fans came in different shapes，such as round and square. They were also made from a11 kinds of materials．Palm leaf fans were cheap and easy to make. Feather fans(羽毛扇) showed the owner’s high status．Sandalwood(檀香)fans could send out a sweet smell.
Later, hand fans became far more than just something that could cool you down. They developed into art works，in which tuanshan (round fans)and zheshan(folded fans)were the most common．
In the shape of a full moon，tuanshan was usually made of silk．They had beautiful birds and flowers on them．Women especially those in the imperial palace(皇宫),liked to use them．Meanwhile,men，especially the literati(文人)，used zheshan．The literati liked them because zheshan were usually made of paper and they could paint and write poems on them．It was a way for them to show off their ability in literature,painting and handwriting．Almost anything can be painted on zheshan．

The Mid-Autumn Festival is the second largest festival in China after the Spring Festival. Families come together to enjoy the full moon and eat mooncakes during the festival. In fact, besides these two traditions, there are many others.
In ancient times, watching the tide on the Qiantang River in Zhejiang Province was another great event of the Mid-Autumn Festival. The tide is very wonderful and attracts many visitors. It has been recorded exactly since the Han dynasty. You can find something about tide in detail from the ancient books. Many famous ancient poets, like Su Shi in the Song Dynasty, wrote about the great event in their poems. Today, watching the tide on the Qiantang River is still a special event for the festival .
The clay(泥土) rabbit is a traditional handicraft in Beijing at the Mid-Autumn Festival. Based on an image of the Jade Rabbit from the story of Chang’e in the Moon Palace, a clay rabbit is made in a special art form .
Drinking Osmanthus-flavored(桂花香的) wine is also popular at the Mid-Autumn Festival. Many people like drinking Osmanthus-flavored wine at the Mid-Autumn Festival because it means sweetness, wealth and prosperity of the family .
Nowadays, some traditional customs are disappearing. The younger generation have their own ways to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival, such as shopping, going to a party, or traveling, seemingly forgetting the traditional customs of the festival. This is because many in the 80s and 90s generations have a lot of stress in studying, work or life. However, if they had a chance, they would come back home to have a big dinner with their families.

In early spring, the changing temperature usually makes a number of Chinese people uncomfortable. Cold air, bringing rain or even snow, easily tears up(破坏) the warmth of the spring within a night(一夜之间).
However, with the coming of Guyu-the Grain(谷物) Rain, the blue sky and gentle winds would finally stay. Falling usually on or around April 20 every year, Guyu is the sixth of the 24 solar terms(节气). It means the beginning of a lively summer and people get busy from now on.
Sow(播种) grains
This is an important period of the growth of grains. The ancient Chinese already knew that as Guyu comes, the weather will become warm enough for sowing. The farmers usually catch the chance to plant rice, corn and beans.
Hope for safety and harvest
For those living near the sea, they will hold some ceremonies(仪式) on Guyu, hoping for safety as well as harvest during the coming fishing season.
Watch the peony
It’s also a great time to see the peony(牡丹), which is known as “the Queen of All Flowers” in Chinese culture. As a result, watching peonies becomes one of the most enjoyable activities for many. The flower is said to be the favourite of Empress(女皇) Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty, who was the only woman ruler in Chinese history.
Pick tea leaves
Tea leaves picked before Guyu are among the best tea leaves. People believe that the tea leaves picked on the day of Guyu can make eyes clear and drive away bad luck. So the habit of drinking tea at this time of year has become a tradition in some places of China.
93．When does Guyu usually come every year
94．Why is Guyu an important time for sowing grains

Stories and Art of Chinese Fans
You may think you cannot live through summer without air conditioners. But in ancient China，hand fans were almost the only ones to help people keep cool.
Chinese people started to use hand fans over 2,000 years ago. The fans came in different shapes，such as round and square. They were also made from a11 kinds of materials．Palm leaf fans were cheap and easy to make. Feather fans(羽毛扇) showed the owner’s high status．Sandalwood(檀香)fans could send out a sweet smell.
Later, hand fans became far more than just something that could cool you down. They developed into art works，in which tuanshan (round fans)and zheshan(folded fans)were the most common．
In the shape of a full moon，tuanshan was usually made of silk．They had beautiful birds and flowers on them．Women especially those in the imperial palace(皇宫),liked to use them．Meanwhile,men，especially the literati(文人)，used zheshan．The literati liked them because zheshan were usually made of paper and they could paint and write poems on them．It was a way for them to show off their ability in literature,painting and handwriting．Almost anything can be painted on zheshan．
Today，Chinese people still use these fans，only not many people write or paint on them any more．Next time when you are waving a fan, you may think of the stories behind it.

It has been recorded exactly since the Han dynasty. You can find something about tide in detail from the ancient books. Many famous ancient poets, like Su Shi in the Song Dynasty, wrote about the great event in their poems. Today, watching the tide on the Qiantang River is still a special event for the festival .
The clay(泥土) rabbit is a traditional handicraft in Beijing at the Mid-Autumn Festival. Based on an image of the Jade Rabbit from the story of Chang’e in the Moon Palace, a clay rabbit is made in a special art form .
Drinking Osmanthus-flavored(桂花香的) wine is also popular at the Mid-Autumn Festival. Many people like drinking Osmanthus-flavored wine at the Mid-Autumn Festival because it means sweetness, wealth and prosperity of the family .
Nowadays, some traditional customs are disappearing. The younger generation have their own ways to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival, such as shopping, going to a party, or traveling, seemingly forgetting the traditional customs of the festival.

However, with the coming of Guyu-the Grain(谷物) Rain, the blue sky and gentle winds would finally stay. Falling usually on or around April 20 every year, Guyu is the sixth of the 24 solar terms(节气). It means the beginning of a lively summer and people get busy from now on.
Sow(播种) grains
This is an important period of the growth of grains. The ancient Chinese already knew that as Guyu comes, the weather will become warm enough for sowing. The farmers usually catch the chance to plant rice, corn and beans.
Hope for safety and harvest
For those living near the sea, they will hold some ceremonies(仪式) on Guyu, hoping for safety as well as harvest during the coming fishing season.
Watch the peony
It’s also a great time to see the peony(牡丹), which is known as “the Queen of All Flowers” in Chinese culture. As a result, watching peonies becomes one of the most enjoyable activities for many. The flower is said to be the favourite of Empress(女皇) Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty, who was the only woman ruler in Chinese history.
Pick tea leaves
Tea leaves picked before Guyu are among the best tea leaves. People believe that the tea leaves picked on the day of Guyu can make eyes clear and drive away bad luck. So the habit of drinking tea at this time of year has become a tradition in some places of China.
93．When does Guyu usually come every year

94．细节理解题。Why is Guyu an important time for sowing grains 意为“为什么谷雨对于播种粮食来说是一个重要的时间？” 由文章第三段This is an important period of the growth of grains. The ancient Chinese already knew that as Guyu comes, the weather will become warm enough for sowing. 可知“古代中国人就已经知道当谷雨来临时，天气会变得足够暖和，适合播种。又回答的是原因，要用 because ……来回答。故答案为“Because as Guyu comes, the weather will become warm enough for sowing.”
95．Translate ……into ……把……翻译成……；Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese. 意思是，把划线句子翻译成汉语。注意得分点，as a result结果；one of ……之一；the most enjoyable最令人愉悦的。故答案为 “结果，对于很多人来说，观赏壮丹成为最令人愉悦的活动之一”。
