When it comes to opera, you might think of Peking Opera. But have you ever h 1 of Qinqiang Opera
Qinqiang Opera is one of the o 2 forms of opera in China. It started from the ancient folk songs and dances of the people in Shanxi and Gansu. A 3 to historical records, the local opera dates back to the Qin Dynasty.
Hou Yan is the president of Qinqiang Theater of the Ningxia Performing Arts Group. She started learning Qinqiang Opera at 4. Training in the basic skills of Qinqiang Opera is very challenging. In 1985, Hou studied at an art school where teachers were very s 4 with students. While training, each basic move would have to be held quite correctly for half an hour and a single mistake could mean she had to start all over again. Leg stretching (伸展), waist bending and somersaults (翻筋斗) were just some of Hou’s daily training. Her hard work f 5 paid off. Hou became a performer with a troupe (剧团) in Yinchuan at 16. But in1993, the sweeping trend (趋势) of pop and Western music hit Qinqiang Opera hard. The troupe was c 6 and Hou had no choice but to leave the opera stage.
In the past decades, however, China has made great efforts to develop its traditional culture. Local governments has thought of many ways to e 7 people to pay more attention to our traditional culture. Luckily Hou had the chance to return to the stage in 2000 and put her heart into the opera form.
Now, Hou’s team gives hundreds of performances every year. The performers are all energetic and l 8 . They usually work together in an active and cheerful way. And most of the team members are of her age. They get together just because they all have a common i 9 in Qinqiang Opera. In 2021, they staged about 150 school performances.
“As we become more confident about our culture, more young people feel p 10 of our traditional culture and consider it as a fashionable trend.” said Hou.

Many would agree that when we think of Christmas, we probably think of gifts, Christmas trees and Santa Claus.

By drawing pictures on a cup of tea, chabaixi, an ancient Chinese tea trick showed in a recent TV drama, has become popular for its similarity to modern latte art (咖啡拉花艺术). However, ten years ago, this special skill was close to disappearing completely. Zhang Zhifeng, an inheritor (传承人) of chabaixi, found many people showed great interest in the s 1 of chabaixi in the drama.
Chabaixi can create different pictures such as bamboos and mountains. There are many s 2 , from grinding (磨碎) tea, to pouring boiled water, stirring the mixture, and finally drawing the pictures. It is d 3 from making latte because people use clear water as the object to put into the cup instead of milk. But when the water touches the tea, it turns into a white color and disappears in 20 minutes. The important process before drawing is known as diancha. The quality of diancha m 4 whether pictures can be successfully produced later.
“Chabaixi is one of the many forms of tea-making skills in China. The importance of chabaixi is not only this skill is unique in the world, but also it gives us a window into people’s l 5 in the Song Dynasty. The activities at that time in some ways are s 6 to what we have now,” Zhang said.
B 7 chabaixi was discovered by TV audiences, the skill was listed as part of China’s Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2017. Zhang Zhifeng started researching the origins of chabaixi in the 1980s and brought the skill b 8 in 2009 after years of testing and practice. Zhang thought that it was really m 9 .
“This skill is key to the tea culture of the Song Dynasty, and it would be a shame to let it d 10 . This skill must be passed on so that more people can understand its history,” Zhang said.

Chinese writer Hai Ya’s The Space-Time Painter won the Hugo Award for Best Novelette on Oct 21. He became the t 1 Chinese writer to win a Hugo award after Liu Cixin in 2015 and Hao Jingfang in 2016.
When creating The Space Time Painter, Hai Ya got his i 2 from a famous painting, A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains. It is by Wang Ximeng from the Song Dynasty (960-1279). Based on Wang, Hai created a character named Zhao Ximeng w 3 painted for an emperor more than 1,000 years ago. After many hard times, Zhao’s mind leaves his body and enters a space where a modern policeman is trying to s 4 a case about an ancient painting
Hai Ya’s story with science fiction began in his childhood. “When I was a child, the bookstore in my hometown helped create a beautiful g 5 in my mind. In it, science fiction offered the most beautiful ‘flowers’,” Hai Ya told Beijing Youth Daily. He added that science fiction opened a new world for h 6 . Hai Ya’s works feature a mix of history and science fiction. These two styles seem o 7 : One looks back at the past, and the other faces the future. However, in Hai Ya’s works, they find a perfect balance.
“If we can only i 8 the future and things in space like rockets, it will only limit our imagination,” Hai Ya told Shenzhen Special Zone Daily “I don’t think h 9 is something completely in the past. It is flowing (流动的), and we can make predictions (预测) about the future by looking back at history,” he added.
More Chinese writers today are trying to mix t 10 culture with modern stories. Hai Ya believes that it is not a choice but a natural process. “Our history and culture have lasting values that can touch everyone,” he said to Xinhua.

Do animals communicate with each other
This question came to my mind the other day while I was sitting outside. I heard some birds making what sounded like a distress call (求救信号). I looked around and saw a cat crouched low in the grass, ready to attack the birds.
But the cat was too late. The birds suddenly flew to s 1 . The loud calls had alerted them to the danger. I did some r 2 and, to my amazement, I learned that all animals communicate. They don’t use language, but they do send signals and messages to each other, mainly t 3 sounds, smells, and body language.
The alarm call is one way that sounds are used for communication. When a predator (捕食者) is near, animals send out a warning sound. Those who h 4 it run, hide, or gather to fight the invader. Birds sing beautiful songs to attract mates during breeding season. Whales (鲸) are well known for their a 5 to communicate with complex vocal sounds. Humans don’t understand these sounds, but in their own social groups, whales understand w 6 they’re saying to each other.
Smell is another popular m 7 of animal communication. Simple animals such as the single-celled amoeba give off a chemical that other amoebae recognize as a signal for reproduction. Some animals send out a strong smell, which is c 8 as a warning signal to keep other animals staying away from them. For example, skunks release a terrible odour when they feel threatened.
There are many e 9 of animals that use body language to communicate. Chimpanzees touch hands when they meet. When angry, gorillas stick out their tongues. Think of a happy dog wagging its tail. Even humans understand this form of dog body language.
Humans have d 10 a complex system to communicate with each other. But if you watch other animals for a while, you quickly come to appreciate that they too have ways of getting their messages across.

As red as chicken blood, the chicken-blood stone is one of the most costly ornamental (装饰用的) materials in China. With its b 1 red color and jade-like texture (质地), it has been used for centuries to create carved works.
Changhua in Zhejiang is one of the producing areas of such stones. The stones were created by volcanic activity 75 million years ago. S 2 the Ming Dynasty, local people have been using chicken-blood stones to carve all kinds of things in different s 3 and sizes.
In 2008, the chicken-blood stone carving was a 4 to the national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) list. It not only records geological (地质的) changes, but is also a cultural relic that shows people’s lives of different times. For Chinese people, the carving’s red color also means j 5 , success and good luck.
Craftsman Qian Gaochao, 67, and his son, s 6 more than six months making three “chicken-blood” stone carvings showing the taekwondo and wrestling competitions for the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou.
Qian is a national inheritor (继承人) of the intangible cultural heritage of the chicken-blood stone carving technique. He said, “it’s a great honor to be able to contribute to the Asian Games, h 7 in my hometown, through my hand skills.”
According to Qian, the content and themes he chooses for carvings keep up with and show the style of the times. “I’m not only doing carving work, but also r 8 the development and changes of our society, and remembering the important events through my carvings,” he said.
Qian has created fascinating works, many of which are related to important events in Chinese history, i 9 the Zunyi Conference in January 1935. He has also done work to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China.
Qian hopes the technique can be learned by more people so that it can be passed down. “We are looking for qualified people to continue to inherit and develop these traditional skills. At the same time, we also hold research activities and provide training courses, a 10 more young students to understand and learn Chinese traditional culture.” he said.
