    People like to get a haircut. It's a famous tradition. People believe it can keep bad luck away.

    In Fujian, people eat tofu balls during the festival, and they often make tofu and vegetable balls, hoping for auspiciousness. In Zhejiang, people usually eat "Green Rice Balls" or "Qingtuan".

    The Magic of Clay

    When we talk about art, we often think of drawings on paper. However, making things with your hands is also a wonderful art form. Pottery is one of the oldest arts in history. It involves making pots, dishes, and other objects out of clay.

    To be a good  (sculpt), you need strong hands and a clear mind. Working with clay is different from drawing. It  (require) not just skill but  (strong). First, you place a piece of wet clay in the correct position on a wheel. As the wheel turns, you use your fingers to shape the mud into a bowl or a vase. Sometimes, special  (instrument) are used to add fine details to the surface.

    My uncle is an artist who makes  (sculpture). He says that clay has a life of its own. "You shouldn't force the clay," he told me. "You should work with it." Last week, I tried to make a small cat. At first , I was  (scare) that I would ruin it. The clay felt cold and heavy. But soon, I found it quite interesting.

    Unlike typical school tasks, pottery is not about getting the right answer. It is about creating something unique rather than following rules. Although my hands were dirty, I felt  (peace) while working. The  (hot) of the kiln (窑) turns the soft clay into hard stone. Finally, you can paint it. My uncle is a  (truth) master of this art. I hope one day I can make something as  (love) as his works.

    Do you know how to make a sugar painting? Firstly,  the sugar slowly until it turns into thick liquid (液体). Next, the sugar artist uses a spoon  the melted (熔化的) sugar onto a board and starts creating. By moving the spoon , all kinds of shapes like cute animals, beautiful flowers and even famous characters from stories can be made. Once the shape is , the artist uses a small knife to pick up the sugar painting and insert (嵌入) a bamboo stick into it. After the  cools down, you can get a nice sugar painting. 

    Sugar painting is nice to look at and tastes delicious too. People, especially kids, love its bright color and sweet taste. So next time when you see a sugar painting stall, why not try making one with the artist?

    Have you ever seen beautiful red paper cuttings on windows during the Spring Festival? Do you know that paper cutting is a traditional Chinese art with a long history? It is called "jianzhi" in Chinese, and it has been popular for over 1,500 years.

    Paper cutting was invented in China during the Han Dynasty. At that time, people used paper to make decorations for festivals and happy events. They cut paper into different shapes, such as flowers, animals, and Chinese characters like "福" (fu), which means good luck. The art was passed down from generation to generation, and it is still an important part of Chinese culture today.

    Many people wonder if paper cutting is difficult to learn. The answer is yes and no. You need a lot of practice to become skilled, but anyone can start with simple designs. All you need is a piece of paper and a pair of scissors. Paper cutting helps people be patient and creative. It is not only a kind of art, but also a good way to relax.

    Now paper cutting is popular not only in China but also around the world. Many foreign artists learn paper cutting and mix it with their own culture. In China, people often use paper cuttings to decorate their homes for the New Year or weddings. In schools, students learn paper cutting in a fun handicraft class.

    Paper cutting is more than just a craft—it carries people's wishes for happiness and good luck. Let this beautiful art continue to shine in the hearts and hands of people everywhere.

    In China, paper cutting is more than just a hobby; it is a symbol of luck and happiness. During the Spring Festival, people paste red paper cuttings on windows and doors to wish for a better year.

    Li Xia, a 35-year-old teacher from Xi'an, has loved paper cutting since she was a child. "When I hold the scissors and red paper, I forget all my worries," she says. "It helps me find inner peace. Creating a complex pattern takes patience, but seeing the final work gives me great joy."

    Unlike modern digital art, paper cutting is done entirely by hand. "It's not about speed or making money," says Wang Lei, a master of this art. "It's about the connection between your heart and your hands. Every cut carries emotion." He believes that even in the age of computers, this traditional skill is valuable because it teaches us to slow down and focus.

    For some young people, paper cutting is also a form of exercise for the brain. "It requires great concentration," says a college student. "After cutting for an hour, I feel relaxed, just like after doing yoga."

    Today, paper cutting is not only popular in China but also known around the world. It shows the beauty of Chinese culture and brings peace to modern lives.
