As paper calendars have lost popularity, many people are turning to digital calendars on smartphones. But
the creative paper calendars which have new and interesting designs and Chinese cultural elements (元素) are
becoming popular again in China.
Before the Spring Festival every year, the Palace Museum publishes several types of creative calendars. Of
all the calendars, the calendar of 2021 is the most popular. It lists 365 collections of different types from different
dynasties, specifically (明确地) showing Chinese farming culture. The collections are chosen from its over 1.4
million treasures.
Another popular calendar is about traditional Chinese poems in both Chinese and English from the National
Museum of China. The English calendars were translated by famous Chinese translator Xu Yuanchong. Inside them
there are flower paintings by Italian painter Giuseppe Castiglionc.
Both calendars of the Palace Museum and the National Museum of China introduce knowledge about
Chinese culture, sharing cultural information along with historical dates.
“The choice of a theme (主题) for a creative calendar is very important, requiring much effort and relatively
high production cost,” said Liang Yuan, an editor.
“The popularity of creative calendars also shows a change in people’s consumption as they focus more on
design, which is shown in how wonderful calendars will generally sell well although their prices are high,” Liang
added. The latest creative calendar of the National Museum of China is 99 yuan, while the price of the Palace
Museum’s stands at 76 yuan.

Confucianism (儒家思想), the way of life developed by Confucius (孔子), has been followed by Chinese
people for more than two thousand years.
Five Constants (五常)——ren, yi, li, zhi, xin (仁、义、礼、智、信)—is part of Confucianism and they
help people understand how to behave towards others. They are general virtues (美德) around the world. The most
important two are ren and li.
Ren is the feeling of care and love we should have for others. Confucius explained ren could best be
understood as loving others. He is famous for teaching people “What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to
others”. It is quite similar to what is known in the West as the Golden Rule (treat others as you wish to be treated).
While the meaning of ren is easy to understand, li is a little harder to express. It can be thought of as duty
or even respect. Generally, li is the way we should connect with people in our everyday life. In Confucian writings,
discussions about li include the proper way to drink tea and how to remember ancestors (祖先). While ren is
mostly about our opinions and feelings, li is about how we express our opinions and feelings towards others and
towards the world around us.
Although Xiao isn’t one of Five Constants, it’s the basic Confucian virtue. Xiao means loving, respecting,
obeying and taking care of one’s parents in their old age. In Confucianism, xiao is important for a harmonious (和
谐的) society: Without it, the whole world would fall into a mess.
1．Which are the most important of the Five Constants?
A．Ren and yi. B．Ren and li. C．Li and xin. D．Yi and zhi.
2．What is the best Chinese for the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3?
A．博学于文，约之以礼。 B．学而不思则罔，思而不学则殆。

Acupuncture (针灸) is an important part of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Growing up, I’d always
considered it out of date. As we know, acupuncture treatment lasts a long period and causes a lot of pain. But my
experience made me change my mind.
Last month, I slept through a flight from London to Beijing. When I woke up, I found that I could no longer
7关注公众号：陆陆高分冲刺 ~领取：最新版“小中高考-总复习”、最新试卷下载
move my right arm and fingers. There was no pain. My arm simply didn't follow my brain’s instructions to move,
as if it was no longer mine.
One doctor said he could do nothing but give me some pills. “Rest for two months first and come back for an
examination.” I felt great fear.
In that moment of despair, my friend, an acupuncturist in Sichuan, offered to help. I started my treatment the
next day. At first, I was worried. After a few days, I could move my fingers. Two weeks later, I could use
chopsticks. Within a month, I got almost well. It was amazing.
Acupuncture first appeared in China more than 2, 000 years ago. It works by improving the smooth flow (流
动) of “qi”. “Qi” flows through “jingluo” throughout the body.
I hope this kind of traditional Chinese treatment will bring health and happiness to friends all over the world.

Beautiful and smooth, Kunqu Opera is one of the most loved art forms in China. Born in Suzhou, Kunqu
Opera grew rapidly during the Ming dynasty (1368—1644). This opera is special for the songs in Suzhou dialect,
beautiful body movements, martial (武术) arts and dance. Kunqu Opera has a great influence on many different
kinds of operas in China including Beijing Opera, so it is known as the mother of all Chinese operas.
However, over 20 years ago, Kunqu Opera was in a very difficult situation. The rise of other opera forms, the
ups and downs of the society, the difficulty in learning Kunqu Opera, all led to its drop.
The turning point came on May 18, 2001, when UNESCO added Kunqu Opera to “masterpieces of oral and
intangible heritage of humanity (人类口头和非物质遗产杰作)” list. The government has tried its best to protect
Kunqu Opera as well.

In the picture, a girl is standing on a bamboo pole on the river and dancing beautifully. It’s not a scene from a
movie, but a form of intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) —bamboo drifting (独竹漂).
Yang Liu, 24, is an inheritor (传承人) of bamboo drifting. She started to learn it from her grandmother when she
was 7. As she was weak in health as a child, her grandmother wanted her to get into better shape through this sport.

Yang threw herself into practicing bamboo drifting all year round, even in the winter cold and summer heat.
“It was common for me to fall into the water when I started practicing,” recalled Yang, adding that it took her
three years to learn the basic skills of bamboo drifting.

bamboo pole that was 9m in length and 15 cm in diameter(直径), and stand all the physical pain that came with it.
Through years of hard training, Yang now considers the bamboo pole as her “best friend”.

not try to combine dance with the skill? It might be something different,” the young woman explained.

Yang.
