Keeping Viking legacy
The Jorvik Viking festival is a time to dress up and travel back to the Viking age
北欧海盗节：穿上战甲，穿越到维京时代
In February, I went to York in the UK. Or as the Vikings called it, Jorvik. I was in for a surprise, not knowing that the Jorvik Viking Festival, Europe’s largest Viking festival, was on. It has been held yearly in February since 1985.
In the city center were people with swords (剑), axes (斧头) and helmets, dressed as Vikings. Some played old instruments and hundreds walked through the city. You could buy Viking tools, wear and Meade, an old Viking wine made from honey, during the festival.
The Jorvik festival is a celebration of the UK’s cultural heritage (文化遗产). The Vikings took over York in the late 800s and ruled there for almost a century. This was in the Viking Age, from 800 to 1150. About 200,000 Vikings from Norway, Sweden and Denmark went in boats to live in different parts of the world, including England. This wasn’t peaceful. The Vikings were warriors (战士). They believed death in fighting would send them to Valhalla, the resting place for warriors. So they brought with them war.
Today, there is a great interest in the UK with Viking history. As well as the Jorvik festival, people do Viking weddings (婚礼). The couple may bind (捆绑) their hands together, drink from animal horns (角制品) and even jump over a sword and get blessings from the Viking gods, with guests encouraged to dress as Vikings. Some people name their children after Viking legends (传说). My nephew is named Heimdall, after the watchman of the gods in Norse mythology. The Viking legacy continues to interest people all over the country.

“May we all blessed with longevity.Though miles apart, we are still able to share the beauty of the moon together (但愿人长久,千里共婵娟)”, wrote Su Shi, a poet during the Song Dynasty, in his well-known poem to his younger brother Su Zhe.
The moon is at its brightest on the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar. On this day, people celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival. It has been enjoying great popularity all over the country. In ancient China, that day was a harvest (收获) festival because crops (庄稼) were harvested during that period. It was a time for relaxation and celebration.
Just like Thanksgiving in Western countries, families also try to get together for the Mid-Autumn Festival in China. Usually, no matter how far away or how busy they are, people will try to return home for the celebration.
The Mid-Autumn has its own special food just as other traditional Chinese holidays. People eat moon cakes with fillings such as sugar and eggs. The round shape of the cake makes, it look like the full moon. The full moon and moon cakes stand for family reunion (团聚).

The UNESCO added “Spring Festival, social practices of the Chinese people in celebration of the traditional New Year” to the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity (人类非物质文化遗产代表作名录) on December 4, 2024. The Spring Festival, also called the Chinese New Year, is the most important festival in China. It is a time for welcome the new year and spending time with family and friends. However, not all Chinese celebrate it in the same way. Some ethnic groups (少数民族) have their own traditions for this special festival.
During the Spring Festival, Zhuang people have some interesting customs. On the day of the Spring Festival, they always get up early. They believe sleeping in will make crops (庄稼) grow slowly. On that day, Zhuang people also race to get the first bucket (桶) of water from the river. They think it could bring good luck to their family for the whole year.
Over half of the Miao people live in Guizhou. They have their own New Year’s Day. There is no exact fixed date for the Miao New Year. It is often celebrated after the rice harvest and lasts for 3 to 15 days. During that time, Miao people wear traditional clothes and play the lusheng.
Yao people are mostly in the south of China. During the Spring Festival, they often watch the “farm show”. In this show, one person dresses up as a cow, and two others play the roles of farmers. Together, they sing and dance to celebrate the harvest (丰收).

During the holiday, some students are busy with travelling, camps and all kinds of courses. But a special group of Chinese middle school students decided to experience life outside school.
Twelve students sold vegetables at a local market in a big city together. Within 12 days, they made more than 1,500 yuan.
Among them, the oldest is 21 years old, while the youngest is just 10. They are all cousins in a big family and eight of them are from rural areas.
“Compared with travelling, such social practice makes us learn how tough our parents are,” said Dalin, 18, a senior high graduate (毕业生), to The City Morning Post. Dalin and her 12-year-old brother Xiaolin came up with the idea.
They worked hard to sell their vegetables. Every morning they had to wake up at 3 o’clock. Some of them went to the farmers’ market to buy vegetables. Some of them went to the local market to take up a temporary stall (临时摊位). To lower the cost, they learned to bargain (讲价) with the sellers.
At about 6:30 am, they began to sell vegetables. They peddled (吆喝) loudly to attract customers. After several days, they got some experience, too.
For example, it was better to put vegetables in order and bigger ones on top. If the vegetables were too heavy, they would give customers an extra plastic bag.
After they finally packed up and went home, they had a short meeting. Everyone took notes and shared their feelings.
“We are tired but happy,” said Dalin, “because we gain a lot.”

On the day their children entered school, parents would take them to take part in the First Writing Ceremony. Before that, children would kowtow (叩头) to the statue of Confucius (孔子像) 9 times and then to their teacher 3 times to show their deep respect (尊敬). During the ceremony, the teacher would put a red point on the students’ forehead (前额) as it meant opening the wisdom eye. Children would ring a certain bell to start a new term. After that, they could finally sit down in their seats and begin to study.
