一、阅读理解
Ancient Chinese Study ToolsIn ancient China, students used special tools for studying, which are called "the Four Treasures of the Study" (文房四宝). These four tools — brush, ink, paper and inkstone — were very important for learning and writing.
The brush is made of animal hair, usually from goats or rabbits. A good brush can help write smoothly. The ink is made from pine soot (松烟) and glue. Before writing, students need to grind (研磨) the inkstick on the inkstone with a little water to make liquid ink. The paper used in ancient times was called "Xuan paper", which is thin but strong. It can keep ink well and last for a long time. The inkstone is usually made of stone; it holds water and is used to grind the inkstick.
In ancient times, every student would take care of their Four Treasures of the Study. They would clean the brush after use and keep the inkstone dry to prevent it from breaking. Today, though many people use pens and computers, some still learn to use the Four Treasures of the Study to practice calligraphy (书法). It helps them understand ancient Chinese culture better.
1. What are the "Four Treasures of the Study" in ancient China
2. What is the ancient Chinese writing paper called
3. How do students make liquid ink before writing
4. Why would ancient students clean the brush after use
5. Do you want to learn to use the Four Treasures of the Study And why
