In most people's eyes the pit (果核) of a fruit is a waste, but in the hands of a miniaturist (微雕师), this tiny nut can(turn) from waste into wonder. As both a time-honored and young art, nut carving began to appear as a national cultural heritage in 2008. Dating back to Song Dynasty (960-1279), the complicated process is like playing ballet on the pit,the main tools being file, chisel and drill. Small as it is, it has different styles,(vary) significantly from northern to southern regions.

The northern style is mainly practiced in Shandong Province where nut carving is often done on peach pits, the surface layer ofis rich in fold texture (纹理) skillfully employed by the miniaturist(carve) vivid three-dimensional shapes.

The southern style particularly finds its(popular) in Jiangsu Province. When examining Suzhou nut carving(specific); artists tend to select olive pits with thick outer walls and smooth surfaces, allowing for the achievement of fine carvings.

The Kruger National Park is a popular safari (观兽旅行) destination and is known for its diverse wildlife. Scientists played recordings of people talking normally through speakers hidden at water holes in the Kruger National Park. About 95% of animals were extremely frightened and quickly ran away. Surprisingly, recordings of growling lions brought about significantly less alarm. Some elephants, in response to the big catcalls, even attempted to face the source of the sound.

The human speech they chose to play included local languages commonly spoken in the country. The study's findings suggest that the animals, which include antelopes, elephants, giraffes, leopards and wild pigs, have learnt that contact with humans is extremely dangerous, due to hunting, gun use and the use of dogs to catch them.

Over the years, the encroachment (入侵) of human settlements into wildlife habitats and hunting have led to a deep-seated fear of humans among wildlife. The fear goes beyond the Kruger National Park, showing a global pattern where wildlife tends to fear humans more than any other enemies, according to the study. This fear of humans is a challenge for areas that rely on wildlife tourism, as the human visitors they want to attract are scaring off the animals they have come to see.

The study opens up the potential to protect weak species in these ecosystems. Human sounds, when used appropriately, could help protect wildlife against illegal hunting. This research also highlights the great importance of respectful and responsible wildlife tourism. One thing is clear: the need for a balanced approach to wildlife conservation and tourism has never been greater. As we step into their world, we must remember that we are visitors and that they are rightful inhabitants.

As we move from place to place or activity to activity, new sections are marked with a noticeable change in brain activity. Until now, it hasn't been clear how the brain decides where to start and end each chapter. The research shows that this process is personalized, based on what's significant to us and our priorities (优先权).

"We wanted to challenge the theory that the brain just passively responds to sensory input changes in the world when we start a new chapter. And our research found that this is not the case. The brain does not passively respond to life changes, but organizes them into chunks that are meaningful to us," says Christopher Baldassano, a psychology professor at Columbia University. In other words, moving from a bus station to a coffee shop doesn't always start a new chapter if we're still focused on a conversation.

To study this, researchers created 16 short audio stories with different locations and scenarios (情境). They invited 415 people to listen to these stories, monitoring their brain activities or asking them to press a button when a new part of the story started. It found that our current priorities, goals, and past experiences can influence how the brain organizes these chapters. In one story about a marriage proposal at a restaurant, participants were asked to focus on either the proposal or the food orders, and this affected how their brains defined new chapters.

Next, the researchers want to explore more about how expectations influence our life chapters and which parts of our experiences are remembered. They say that past experiences, organized into event scripts, change how we feel about the present. There's still a lot to learn about how our brains create and organize these life stories.

Papercutting, the traditional Chinese art of paper design, has been adopted in many creative arts, including food and clothing. On the Chinese lifestyle-focused social media platform Xiaohongshu, a video of cookies featuring a paper-cut styled dragon pattern received over 2.6 million views and 130,000 likes. Liu Shan, a stay-at-home mother who loves Chinese papercutting, is the baker behind the cookies.

Young craftswoman Chen Lingling created a cloak featuring Chinese paper-cut patterns. As an intangible cultural heritage enthusiast, Chen has made a variety of different clothing and headwear, with the aim of making cultural heritage part of young people's daily lives. She chose auspicious patterns like phoenix and golden fish to deliver her Spring Festival greetings. People believe these patterns will bring good luck. Her video featuring the cloak has received around 750,000 views and earned her fans from both China and abroad, encouraging her to continue her interest in intangible cultural heritage.

According to the new report published by Xiaohongshu, users of the platform uploaded nearly one million posts with the topic "recreation" between February 9, the Chinese New Year's Eve, and February 16. Analysts say these recreations demonstrate (表现) young people's creativity and enthusiasm for life, and the innovations that use elements of intangible cultural heritage reflect their growing cultural confidence.
