The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) added Spring Festival to the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity on December 4, 2024. The Spring Festival is one of the most important festivals (practise) in China and around the world. The listing of the Spring Festival as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity is acknowledgment of not only its Chinese roots but also the ideas it carries that connect all humanity. The Spring Festival bears Chinese civilization's (pursue) of peace and harmony, promotes best wishes presents the common values of humanity.

Firstly, when you find yourself in that situation where your mind has gone blank, play "Reminds Me of". That just means that you look to the environment around you and say, "You know, that reminds me of…" and then fill in the blank. And it can also work as a follow-up when someone finishes telling a story, which is how many groups of friends interact all the time.

Second, when you ask questions, keep them open-ended as often as possible. So rather than saying, "Oh, you're from Toronto. Do you like it there?" you might say, "How do you like Toronto? I'm curious to hear more about it." You should get the other person talking about the things that they like, which is going to open up more conversational topics.

This is the third tip. If you're in a new group and conversation dies after initial pleasantries, a great question is, "How do you guys all know one another?" There's almost always some kind of story that conversation can build from. If you're only speaking to one person, you can say instead, "So what's your story?" The great thing about this question is that it is so open-ended that the other person will probably guide you towards new topics, usually responding with something like, "You mean what do I do for work or what do I like to do for fun?"

A. It's great for opening new conversational topics.

B. Then out of nowhere, the awkward silence occurs.

C. So, ask them about their exciting plans for the future.

D. You'd better avoid questions inviting a one-word response.

E. That's because people don't like to talk to others different from themselves.

F. For the worst scenario when conversation stops suddenly, use saving questions.

G. His or her tone and enthusiasm will tell you the best angle of conversation to continue with.

The concept of PSD gained popularity on social media and fan blogs in the mid-2010s, particularly during the Golden Age of TV. Kottasz prefers not to use the term PSD, instead calling it "consumer saudade", a Portuguese word meaning nostalgic (怀旧的) longing. However, a journal editor convinced her to use PSD due to its established use outside of research.

Kottasz and her colleagues published a 15-item classification scale for PSD based on interviews with fans who felt sad after their favorite things ended. Common emotions included frustration, disappointment, sadness, and emptiness. Some fans even felt that life was less complete or that they had lost "best friends".

While PSD is often associated with TV shows, Kottasz is exploring its connection to other media, such as the abrupt break of K-pop band BTS (防弹少年团) and novels like Harry Potter. Younger people are more affected than older ones, partially due to on-demand streaming and constant new content pushes from businesses like Netflix.

Contrary to popular belief, binge-watching does not seem to trigger PSD. Instead, long-term consumption may be a factor. Kottasz thinks watching a show over several seasons or reading novels across many years strengthens a person's relationship to the characters. In her 2019 paper, she cites a Harry Potter devotee who started reading the series at age 9 and was "cruelly left behind' after the final book and film released years later.

But it isn't quite as simple as saying the end of a show or novel controls our emotional state. Brian Kong, a Chicago-based psychologist, is concerned that PSD might imply a causal relationship between low moods and a program's end. Instead, he says that when viewers feel lasting negativity, TV consumption might be acting as an anesthetic(麻醉剂) for a deeper psychological issue, like how some people with anxiety or depression drink alcohol. Put another way, the low mood already existed, and watching the series only masked it.

One day, a message in the comment section of her post caught her attention. Someone suggested that she could try making the hidden weapons described in novels. Inspired by this idea, she decided to make a change.   

When she began making the hidden weapons, numerous difficulties emerged. Firstly, there was a lack of real prototypes for reference. She could only rely on the descriptions in novels and her imagination to figure out the shapes and structures. Secondly, the size setting was a great challenge. The hidden weapons needed to be small enough to be concealed easily, but at the same time, they had to possess the basic functions and deadliness of weapons. For example, making a dagger (短剑) that could be hidden in a sleeve or a small section required precise measurement and design. Moreover, the mechanism of quickly taking out and transforming the weapons was extremely complicated. She had to experiment with various materials and designs to ensure that the hidden weapons could be smoothly and rapidly taken out in a simulated combat situation.

She spent a lot of time and effort on this new pursuit. She carefully selected materials and used her craftsmanship to transform simple materials into realistic and cool hidden weapons. Her works, such as a sharp and beautifully decorated dagger, gradually gained popularity on the Internet. Through her creations, more and more people, especially young people, became interested in the traditional weapon culture in China. She realized that her work could not only show her creativity but also carry forward Chinese traditional culture.

For her future, she is determined to continue exploring and innovating in this field to let the charm of Chinese traditional culture shine brightly in the whole world.

Do consider joining a membership program.

Programs from Amazon, Walmart and others can get you more than discounts and rewards. Membership also gets you fast, free deliveries on other qualifying orders with no minimums, plus other perks.

Do buy low.

Price trackers help you time your purchases so you can pounce (抓住机会) when prices hit rock bottom or close to it. At the very least, these tools can give you pricing information so you' ll know a good deal when you see it.

Don't fall for fake reviews.

Review fraud is rampant (猖獗), and it could get a lot harder to spot fake user reviews, thanks to the growing use of artificial intelligence. Two tools that can help you shop smarter with user reviews are Fakespot and ReviewMeta, which rate product ratings. Both sites also tease out trustworthy comments to help you find relevant and insightful product information.

Don't put off those payments.

"Buy now, pay later" (BNPL) options are advocated by companies like Affirm and Afterpay. You can pay in installments (分期付款), and you don't have to wait to get your goodies. But there is a big downside: If you' re struggling with debt, BNPL payments can dig your hole deeper, ending up raising your interest rates on mortgage and car loans.

It's one thing to say you're going to get rid of your phone on your next vacation, but it's quite another thing to actually do it. Once you get used to small blocks of time without it, it will be easier and easier to forget how much you relied on it.

If you're in a situation where you can't drop your phone, limit the time to use technology during the moments you absolutely have to use it. For example, spend a morning in bed on a Saturday to catch up on social media and then rely less on your phone the rest of the day.

Not to sound too much like a lecturing mom, but mealtimes should be quality time with your dining companions in real life. Quick-response (QR) codes for menus at restaurants can be a little annoying too, since you' re dining out with friends to spend time with them, not get absorbed in your phone. If you have to use your phone to order dinner, put it back in your purse as soon as you can.

Where you sleep, for example, should be a restful place, not a place to get worked up over social media posts. Start your digital detox by taking the television out of the room, and definitely keep your phone elsewhere while you sleep.

A. You are not alone as a digital addict.

B. Ask for a paper menu whenever possible.

C. Specify some areas of your home as tech-free.

D. Try setting aside your phone for an afternoon.

E. It is a planned and mindful break from digital technology.

F. You just might find that you now have time for a new hobby.

G. Taking breaks from social media guarantees you a good sleep.
