Mr. Wu is showing his classmates how to make pressed flowers (押花).
Start here
Step 1: Carefully pick a few flowers in a place where you are allowed. Do not take too many! Pick them later in the day and when the weather is fine so they’re not wet from the rain.
Step 2: Open a heavy book and lay a piece of blotting paper (吸水纸) inside. Place your flowers “face” down to keep the petals (花瓣) nice and flat. You could press some “sideways” for a different result. Then place another piece of blotting paper on top.
Step 3: Carefully close the book and place more heavy books on top. Put them in a warm place. Check on your flowers every few days and change the blotting paper if it’s wet. It should take about 2-4 weeks for your flowers to fully dry.
Pressed Flower Works
Once they’re dry, you can make some amazing art from your flowers. PVA glue is the best thing to stick them with.

The Chinese pingfeng (folding screen) is an ancient invention and traditional Chinese furniture. Its earliest common use dates from the Han Dynasty. The term pingfeng means protection from wind, showing its purpose at the very beginning.
As time passes, it has been made into different sizes with colorful paintings. On screens usually appears a dragon. It’s a symbol of light, growth and life-giving water. It also stands for nobility and power. The peacock, a beautiful bird, can be seen on screens, too. It’s a symbol of everlasting life. Beautiful flowers, which mean wealth and good luck, are also chosen as a popular design of the pingfeng. All the designs carry people’s beautiful wishes.
Behind the pingfeng lies an interesting story. In the past, the unmarried daughter of a rich family was not supposed to see or be seen by men except her father, brothers or very close male cousins. When an admirer paid a visit however, she might take a secret look at him from a screen behind which she would be completely hidden. Her father would discuss poems with the young man and ask him to create one. If the daughter and her father were satisfied with the young man’s poem and his looks, she might agree to take him as a husband.
Today the pingfeng is back in fashion for its beauty and its practical (实际的) use as furniture. Acting as a moving wall or divider, it can be the perfect match for modern sofas and walls, which adds style to them. The pingfeng is more than beautiful furniture.

Beijing Opera is the most representative of all Chinese traditional dramatic art forms and the largest Chinese opera form. Having a history of about 200 years, it is developed from absorbing (吸收) many other dramatic forms, mostly from the local drama “Huiban”, which was popular in South China during the 18th century. It is a dramatic (戏剧的) art integrating music, performance, literature, aria, and face painting.
Theatrical art forms in many other countries do not present singing, dancing and spoken parts in one single drama. An opera singer, for example, neither dances nor speaks on stage; there are no singing or dancing parts in a modern play; in a dance drama, the dancer has no speaking role and does not sing either. Traditional Chinese drama, including Beijing Opera, is a kind of entertainment which include spoken part, singing, dancing and acrobatics.
In addition to its presence in China, Beijing Opera has spread to many other places. Mei Lanfang, one of the most famous performers (表演者) of all time, was the first to introduce Beijing Opera to foreigners and made highly successful tours to foreign countries.
“You will be puzzled (困感的) all the way through and a little bored from time to time; but you will be charmed and interested. You will be strongly attracted to Beijing Opera even if you know nothing of the dramatic background.” This is how one American traveller described his first experience in watching Beijing Opera.
Beijing Opera is China's national opera and it is full of Chinese cultural traditions. Welcome to China and enjoy Beijing Opera!

When referring to history, some big events or historic figures may pop into our minds. 46 Yet. a Chinese drama—Under the Microscope which aired on iOIYI —turns to the lives of the ordinary people during the Ming Dynasty.
The drama opens with the story of a young man called Shuai Jiamo helping measure (测量) the land for a farming family, but only to find the result is different from what’s recorded on the official papers. 47
Following Shuai and his friends’ fight to solve the problem, this drama gradually presents viewers with a realistic and vivid picture of the lives of ordinary people at the bottom. 48 For example, it shows people cutting silver to give change and carrying certificates for travel. It also shows the customs that the ordinary enjoyed like fireworks and dragon dance.
49 “Only learning the situation of the ordinary people can help us gain a better understanding of each order and law from the government and then the changes of the history,” Ma wrote, in the book.
History. in fact, is a collection of stories of people. Though some people were brought to the spotlight (聚光灯) for different reasons, it never becomes an excuse to take the “little” people for granted. 50
A. Any details in the drama also help viewers get closer to ancient lives. B. It proves that people always care more about big events than little people. C. After all, they are the main part of history and the most direct power to influence the course of history. D. Writer Ma Boyong can find details and human nature from “small events” the history. E. The drama was adapted from the book with the same name by Ma Boyong. F. That’s also what many history dramas are showing us. G.This small event gradually introduces the problem of tax injustice (税收不公) in that area later.

The Chinese pingfeng (folding screen) is an ancient invention and traditional Chinese furniture. Its earliest common use dates from the Han Dynasty. The term pingfeng means protection from wind, showing its purpose at the very beginning.
As time passes, it has been made into different sizes with colorful paintings. On screens usually appears a dragon. It’s a symbol of light, growth and life-giving water. It also stands for nobility and power. The peacock, a beautiful bird, can be seen on screens, too. It’s a symbol of everlasting life. Beautiful flowers, which mean wealth and good luck, are also chosen as a popular design of the pingfeng. All the designs carry people’s beautiful wishes.
Behind the pingfeng lies an interesting story. In the past, the unmarried daughter of a rich family was not supposed to see or be seen by men except her father, brothers or very close male cousins. When an admirer paid a visit however, she might take a secret look at him from a screen behind which she would be completely hidden. Her father would discuss poems with the young man and ask him to create one. If the daughter and her father were satisfied with the young man’s poem and his looks, she might agree to take him as a husband.
Today the pingfeng is back in fashion for its beauty and its practical (实际的) use as furniture. Acting as a moving wall or divider, it can be the perfect match for modern sofas and walls, which adds style to them. The pingfeng is more than beautiful furniture.

Beijing Opera is the most representative of all Chinese traditional dramatic art forms and the largest Chinese opera form. Having a history of about 200 years, it is developed from absorbing (吸收) many other dramatic forms, mostly from the local drama “Huiban”, which was popular in South China during the 18th century.

When referring to history, some big events or historic figures may pop into our minds. 46 Yet. a Chinese drama—Under the Microscope which aired on iOIYI —turns to the lives of the ordinary people during the Ming Dynasty.

Following Shuai and his friends’ fight to solve the problem, this drama gradually presents viewers with a realistic and vivid picture of the lives of ordinary people at the bottom. 48 For example, it shows people cutting silver to give change and carrying certificates for travel. It also shows the customs that the ordinary enjoyed like fireworks and dragon dance.
49 “Only learning the situation of the ordinary people can help us gain a better understanding of each order and law from the government and then the changes of the history,” Ma wrote, in the book.
History. in fact, is a collection of stories of people. Though some people were brought to the spotlight (聚光灯) for different reasons, it never becomes an excuse to take the “little” people for granted. 50

After all, they are the main part of history and the most direct power to influence the course of history. D. Writer Ma Boyong can find details and human nature from “small events” the history. E. The drama was adapted from the book with the same name by Ma Boyong. F. That’s also what many history dramas are showing us. G.This small event gradually introduces the problem of tax injustice (税收不公) in that area later.
