Although Christmas is very popular in many countries around the world.But in fact, it is not so popular in China. In China, most of the people who celebrate Christmas are young people. After all, in Chinese, the most important festival of the year is the Spring Festival. Let me introduce the current situation of Christmas in China. In China's cities, many shops, merchants will be very festive to welcome Christmas, but Christmas has almost become a gimmick of their discount promotion, in my opinion, their love of Christmas is a large part of the Christmas sales of their own goods. In addition to businesses, young people in the city also enjoy Christmas because it's a good reason for young men and women to express their love, meet friends, and have dinners among family members. In short, in the city, although the celebration of Christmas dress up a lot, but in fact, there is no full atmosphere of celebration. But Christmas has a lower impact in rural areas than in cities, and many older people have never heard of it at all, and no one, even Christians, is prepared for it. Of course, perhaps it is not that they do not want to celebrate, but that there is no atmosphere, after all, in an environment without Christmas, a person's hot and lively preparation, it will feel very strange. Therefore, I think if a festival is not based on the corresponding cultural background, it is difficult for it to become popular locally.
A dragon is a legendary creature. Although there is a 'dragon' this kind of name, but in China, the meaning of the dragon and the West is completely different. In the West, dragons are symbols of evil and brutality. But in China, the meaning of dragons is very different. First of all, China's dragons and Western dragons are very different in image. Secondly, in China the dragon is mostly a positive representative, it is a noble, powerful symbol. I think there are at least three points about the reasons for the Chinese dragon. In ancient Chinese mythology and legend, the dragon is a magical creature that controls the climate. Because China has been a big agricultural country since ancient times, and the climate is closely related to agricultural cultivation. Therefore, the dragon in charge of the climate is therefore respected and worshipped by people, the ancient Chinese will also build a hall for the dragon king to worship and believe in it, hope to be blessed by the dragon, autumn harvest smoothly. In ancient China, only emperors could use everything with the "dragon" symbol. This is a privilege that belongs only to the emperor and cannot be violated by the emperor's mother, children, siblings. If someone is found to have violated this right, he will be killed. As a result, the dragon became a symbol of honor. In ancient Chinese literature, dragons were basically representatives of "goodness", and although there were dragons in their works representing "evil", there were not many such works. Even in China's twelve zodiac (rats, cattle,…
Idiom is a kind of specific vocabulary formed in ancient China, most of which are four characters. There are also idioms composed of 3, 5, 7 or more words, but this type of words is relatively small. There is an allusion to its origin. Today, I'd like to introduce a idiom story to you. 1 In 73 ad, China was still in a feudal dynasty. At that time, the emperor ordered Dou Gu(name of a person), a senior official in charge of the expedition against Xiongnu(name of a country). Ban Chao(name of a person), 40, was was under the leadership of Dou Gu. In this expedition, ban Chao made great achievements in the war and was deeply appreciated by Dou Gu. Soon, Dou Gu ordered him and another senior general named Guo Xun(name of a person) to travel to the western region as diplomats. Ban Chao, with his 36 warriors, first came to Shanshan(Name of country). The king began to show great respect and courtesy to them, but within a few days he suddenly became indifferent. Ban Chao and his subordinates judged that this must be the emissary of the northern Xiongnu. The king's attitude was wavering and he was not sure which side to obey. So the Hu(Xiongnu nationality) people who received them were called in and cheated and said, "Hun emissaries have been here for a few days. Where is this moment?" The Nahu people were very frightened and admitted the actual situation, which proved that ban Chao's judgment was correct. Ban Chao confined the Hu people and…
Under the increasing social pressure, many people read more inspirational stories and mistakenly believe that staying up late is hard work. Those who are still struggling at 3 a.m. don't know that the really good people never stay up late. The secret of their success is getting up early. The person who can persist in getting up early every day is excellent in appearance, efficiency, self-discipline and emotion. On the Internet, someone has shared such a true story: For some time, his work and rest were very chaotic, until one day his body sent out a protest signal, and he felt a palpitation. This made him ignore the unfinished work, immediately fell asleep, the next morning at five o'clock naturally woke up. To his surprise, getting up at 5 a.m. not only did he not feel sleepy, but also made him have a good spirit all day. People who get up early will have enough time to eat a nutritious breakfast, which is easier to maintain the habit of exercise. And those who don't get up early are more likely to miss breakfast, leading to overeating, which increases the risk of obesity. People who get up early and don't get up early will not only widen the gap in mental outlook and physical quality, but also in career success. Foreign scholars have spent five years studying the daily habits of 177 self-made successful people 99% of successful people have the habit of getting up early. Li Ka-shing, 90, once said in an interview with the television station that no matter…

Since childhood, fairy tales (snow white, Cinderella, etc.) have made us form the concept of "stepmothers are all bad people". Moreover, many children from single parent families are sensitive to emotions. Therefore, people's contradictory psychology towards stepmothers is quite strong. However, this inherent thinking may be the biggest harm to stepmothers who really want to integrate into the new family. My dad was 27 when my mom died. I was three years old and my brother was half years old. Since then, my father, who used to be a "father" in a bad way,he began to play the role of "father" and "mother" at the same time. My father, who was only responsible for making money or taking us running around and playing,I have to rush home at the first time after work to prepare lunch and dinner for us. But I was wrong. For the next 15 years, my father never remarried. He didn't even leave us at home at night and went out alone. He never got home half an hour or 15 minutes late. His whole mind was on me and my brother. Since I was a child, I have been reminded that the three members of our family will not have a long time to live in peace. Maybe one day, There will be a woman in the name of "mother" and compete with me for my father's love. If my brother and I accidentally offend her,maybe we'll get kicked out of the house. Although my father is busy day and night, but my brother and…
In China, many Chinese people have been troubled by such complex factors as the uncoordinated ratio of men and women, education and so on. Most of them are in their early twenties after graduating from university. If they have no partners and are busy working for a few years, they will soon become old single people. In the face of the pressure of life and family, will they compromise or continue to wait for love. The following is the true story of an older single woman in this situation. My name is Yu Qian. I am 29 years old. Tomorrow is August 24. My future mother-in-law will find a fortune teller to help us calculate the good golden day. Tomorrow I will get married and marry a man I don't like! I often think about one thing. When I was young, my parents told me not to fall in love when I was reading. When I got to work, I was very busy. Gradually, the men around me are either married or have girlfriends. Who should I marry? Recalling his first meeting with him, he carried cigarettes and wine to my home accompanied by his cousin, and his behavior was not restrained. I have a warm reception with a smile on my face, but my heart is calm like water. I don't feel excited. After dinner, he took me to the supermarket. We bought some snacks and separated after a simple conversation. I think he should have the same idea. Marriage is just living together. It doesn't…
