Shuttlecock kicking, or jianzi, is an important part of Chinese culture with a 2,000-year-old history. People first played it in the Han Dynasty. By the Tang Dynasty (朝代), players could do amazing tricks, like kicking the shuttlecock 500 times. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were even four famous schools in Beijing, each teaching special skills. Today, shuttlecock kicking is still one of the most popular (受欢迎的) outdoor activities not only for the young, but also for the old.

Players pass (传递) the shuttlecock and must keep it flying in the air without using their hands. Instead, they use their feet, knees or other body parts. They can play it themselves or in a group.

Shuttlecock kicking is great for health. Playing it just for 10 minutes can make your heart stronger. It also helps students focus better in class. Kicking shuttlecocks with a group of people also helps to make friends and learn how to work with others. What's more, it's easy to play. All you need is a small shuttlecock and a little space, and you can play it anywhere, anytime.

As a national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产), shuttlecock kicking holds a special place in Chinese people's hearts and makes outdoor activities more colourful.

People know animals have feelings, but can we understand them? Scientists studied dogs' tails to find out about it. It says that humans can tell if a dog is happy or sad by watching its tail.

Sometimes they gave the dogs their favorite toys or food. Sometimes there was nothing. When dogs saw something they liked, they wagged their tails fast and high. When there was nothing, their tails moved slowly and low.

Then the scientists showed 10 videos (视频) of dog tails to 100 volunteers (志愿者). Half of the videos showed happy tails, and half showed sad tails. Some volunteers had never even owned a dog before!

Eating in space is like eating on Earth in some ways. Food like rice and potatoes stays in the spoons (勺子), so it doesn't fly away. Other foods come in cans. So they don't fly away, either. But in order to eat, astronauts strap (用带子束紧) themselves into chairs to stay in one place.

What about sleeping? There is no gravity in space, so astronauts do not have to sleep on beds or the floor. They can sleep anywhere they want, and they can sleep in any way they want. They simply strap their sleeping bags to a wall or a seat.

Do astronauts get to have any fun in space? Astronauts are very busy. But they also need to relax sometimes. Astronauts talk to their families on a video call once a week. They also get to stay in touch by email. Some even bring musical instruments. Astronauts also watch movies and news programs. Sometimes they talk to schools and news reporters, too.

My 100 Days without a Mobile Phone

When was the last time you left home without your mobile phone? Can you imagine yourself living a month, or even a year without checking your mobile phone from time to time?

Staying connected to other people is a big part of my life. However, sometimes it can be bothersome (恼人的). One day I discovered I was terribly tired out. I tried turning notifications (通知) off. But the fear of missing out something important made me check the phone more often than before. So, I simply stopped using my phone.

Well, to tell the truth, it was not simple at all. For the first couple of days, I had a big fear that all of my friends would soon forget about me. The worries mixed with boredom kept bothering me. However, after three weeks without a mobile phone, I started noticing changes—changes which I liked, and which drove me to not just continue the experiment, but in fact to reorganize some of my habits.

First of all, after a month of staying away from my mobile phone, I found that my ability to focus improved. Besides, I discovered that the world is a beautiful place. I could understand the actual beauty of the world, and I did not need anyone else to prove the value of this beauty through likes or shares.

Now, as 100 days has passed, I can say that the experiment was worth it. I am planning to stay away from my phone for as long as possible.

The white stick has been used by many blind people for a long time. However, it hasn't really been improved until a blind engineer named Kursat decided to do something to change that. He hoped his invention would help the blind.

He invented a smart stick called WeWalk. The smart stick uses built — in speakers and different sensors (传感器) to warm about possible dangers. It helps blind people in navigating (导航) around their environment. It makes their travel much easier. The stick is priced at around $500. It is half the price of some smart phones. Most people can afford it. This invention is going to change the life of the blind.

Kursat well understands the difficulties that the blind face. That is because he is blind himself. He decided to use his knowledge of technology to invent something. It would not only change his life, but also the life of many others.

"These days, we are talking about flying cars. But the blind have been using just a simple stick. As a blind person, when I am at a bus stop, I don't know which bus is coming or which stores are around me. Now that kind of information can be provided by WeWalk," he said, "I believe the life of the blind will be much easier and safer."

Traditional Chinese painting is done with a brush dipped (浸) in black and colored ink. Paper and silk are also needed for painting. The finished work can be put on scrolls (卷轴).

Chinese folk music is another important part of Chinese culture. It has a long history. Shi Jing, one of the Confucian classics (儒家经典), contains many folk songs. They have been much loved by people up to now.

Traditional Chinese musical instruments are symbols of Chinese culture, such as guqin, guzheng, pipa, erhu, xiao and chimes (编钟). Sheng and suona are also popular in many villages in China. Xi'an drum music is a kind of large traditional drum music. It is a valuable part of ancient Chinese music and is regarded as the "living fossil (化石) of ancient Chinese music" in the world.

That was the first time I had been a waiter (服务员). It was harder than I had thought. At first, I was not good at the job. Some people were very unfriendly, and they got angry with me because of my mistakes. I was so upset and tired that I was almost ready to give it up the first afternoon. A family with three children came to have dinner the next day. The children kept asking for things like bowls, plates, free drinks all the time. I tried my best to serve them well. Then the father said to me, "Good job! Thank you very much for helping us." His words were just like a light in the dark. My tiredness suddenly went away. When I got the money at last, I felt very happy. The experience taught me that many jobs are not easy. Everyone is great when they are working hard.

The playing pieces are called stones. One player uses the white pieces and the other, black. The players take turns to play the stones on the game board. As we know, the board surface has 361 cross points. The stones are placed on them.

Weiqi is called Go in the world. Learning it can not only improve people's logical thinking ability, but it can also develop their calm character. That's why it is more and more popular with modern people.

In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, weiqi traveled to Japan, and then to Europe in the 19th century. Now it has grown into an international competition event. So far, people from over 40 countries have played it. Among them, players from China, Japan and South Korea have the highest level of weiqi.

On February 19, the Chinese-English Dictionary of Weiqi Terms (术语) came out in Beijing. It's the first professional dictionary about weiqi in China. As a symbol of Chinese culture, weiqi has its special language. It also has its own way of thinking and the method of communicating. The dictionary will serve as a necessary tool and bridge for spreading weiqi culture.
