    China is a large country. The population is over 1.3 billion. It has a special culture with a very long history.

    Chinese food plays an important role for Chinese families. Different foods have special meanings. The main difference is that Chinese people eat their meals with chopsticks. One of the main foods in Chinese culture is rice. Tea is a favorite drink and it is popular in the market.

    Chinese calendar is different from the one used in western countries. New Year's Day is in late winter. It is also called the Spring Festival. It has a big celebration of ringing out the old and ringing in the new. It has special foods and traditions. For example, sweeping the floor before New Year's Day sweeps away all the old year's bad luck.

    The Chinese zodiac( 生肖 ), known as Sheng Xiao, follows a twelve-year cycle. Each year is named for an animal. These animal signs are the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. For example, the year that begins in 2016 is the year of the monkey.

    Chinese is a complex (复杂的) language. Chinese writing developed almost 4,000 years ago and may even be older. Chinese writing has thousands of characters. A character stands for a word and also a meaning. Besides Putonghua, Chinese people speak six other forms of the language, and there are many kinds of dialects.

    Long long ago, there was a man living in a village with his wife and two children. They had a hen. It laid a golden egg every day. The man sold the golden egg and the family lived a rich and comfortable life.

    But the man was very greedy (贪婪的). He wanted to get all the golden eggs from his hen at a time. So, he thought hard every day about how to achieve it and he got a plan at last. He decided to kill the hen and get all the eggs. He didn't want to tell his wife about the plan because he wanted to give her a big surprise. He was so excited about his great plan. He even started to sing when he thought of the plan.

    The next day when the hen laid a golden egg, the man couldn't wait to take a knife and cut its body open. However, there was nothing but blood(血液) all around. There weren't any eggs at all. He was very sad because he would not get even one egg now.

    Their life used to be comfortable with one egg a day, but now their life changed a lot.

    How silly he was!
