Traditional Chinese culture is catching the world's eyes. The good traditional Chinese culture is our great treasure. President Xi Jinping says we should have a high of culture confidence. There are so many great works in the course of Chinese history such as Di Zi Gui,Lun Yu,Meng Zi and so on. Xi Jinping and other leaders often borrow some wonderful sentences from them. Dao De Jing is also one of them.

It is widely believed that Lao zi, a famous Chinese philosopher and the founder of Taoism, was the writer of Dao De Jing.There are only 5000 characters in the book, but it is considered as one of the oldest and most important philosophy books of ancient China.It includes two parts, Dao and De.

Dao means "the Way". It doesn't tell us how to choose the right way, but it really shows that one should act through naturalness and non﹣action.

Naturalness refers to a natural state of being, an attitude of following the way of nature.Lao Zi thought that everything in the world has its own way of being and developing.Birds fly in the sky;Tigers live in the forest; Fish swim in the water; Flowers bloom and flowers fall. He gave advice to the people who have strong feelings to control the world. He said they should give up the desires (欲望).

Non﹣action (无为) does not mean that one should do nothing but passively wait for something to be achieved. What he meant is that human should follow the way of nature and try not to break the rule of nature.

De means"Virtue(德行)". Lao zi thought the great virtue is like water.And he thinks nothing in the world is weaker than water, yet nothing is stronger than water when it comes. It can nearly destroy everything strong. In ancient China, there is also a saying, water can hold the boat, it can also make the boat tum upside down. Water is a typical (典型的) example of the weak beating the strong.

Of course, there are many other wonderful things we can learn from the book. Today, Dao de Jing still plays a role in the development of Chinese thoughts. It is becoming more and more popular with people around the world.

Happy Rain on a Spring Night

Good rain knows its time right;       O'er wild lanes dark cloud spreads;

It will fall when comes spring.        In boat a lantern looms.

With wind it steals in night;            Dawn sees saturated reds;

Mute, it moistens each thing.        The town's heavy with blooms.

                                 ﹣﹣﹣Translated by Xu Yuanchong                       Du Fu

This famous poem, with four couplets, was written by Du Fu(712﹣770, Tang Dynasty)when he was living and farming in Chengdu. His farming experience taught him to be thankful to nature.

The very first word, "good", shows the poet's joy and love for the spring rain. The rain is good because it "knows" the proper time to come. Here the poet uses personification, as if the rain were smart enough to come in time for the farmer's busy season.

When the rain comes, it appears during the night without making any noise. Unlike the summer storms, the spring rain finishes its task without being known.

In the third couplet, the poet describes a peaceful scene to us. In the night sky, the clouds look dark and heavy. It's a sign that there will be enough rain during the night. The light from the riverboat makes the dark scene a bit livelier.

   Lastly, the poet starts to imagine. Tomorrow morning, he thinks, the city of Chengdu will become beautiful when all of the flowers bloom(盛开)after the rain.

(1)What's the Chinese title of the poem Happy Rain on a Spring Night?

I'll be perfectly honest: I'm not a fan of The Teen Cops. To me, it's very much like watching a silly comedy show on television. But, let me first say that not everything in the movie is bad.

The main characters are funny and lovable. Linda is cute, Sam is funny and Mr. Timmy, the dog, is a perfect partner to the two teenage crime fighters. The producers have also come up with exciting new music.

While the characters in the movie are fine, the plotis too simple. "They look for the bad guys, they find the bad guys, and then they catch the bad guys." Boring! No difference from so many television programmes that we have seen before.

Here's another reason why I don't like the plot. Two teenagers and a little dog act like they are smarter than experienced policemen and criminals. This may be a comedy, but it isn't funny.

It seems that Director James Ma has made this comedy for people of all ages to enjoy. But, in my opinion, he has failed and it is not worth seeing.

Many of you have heard a Cinderella (灰姑娘) story,but you may not know that there are over a hundred different ways to tell the Cinderella story.When writers tell the same story in a different way,it is called their"version"of the story.The story of Cinderella has many different versions.Let's read two of them and find out how they are different.

The version that most people know is the oldest one written in 1697by Charles Perrault from France.This is the version where the birds help make Cinderellas's dress and the mice turn into carriage men (马车夫) and help Cinderella go to the dance in a pumpkin (南瓜) carriage.In this version,many of the animals are Cinderella's friends.They help her meet the Prince.Cinderella marries the Prince and they live happily together ever after.

In another version of this story written in the 1850s by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm from Germany,the birds help Cinderella in the whole story.Cinderella's father gives her a little tree when he comes back from a party.She plants the little tree and her tears water it until it grows into a tall tree.

The birds now live in the tree and they give Cinderella a dress of gold and shoes of gold.Cinderella goes to the party to meet and dance with the Prince.Later,he finds Cinderella at home doing work for her stepmother (继母).Cinderella marries the Prince and they live happily ever after.

Now you can understand what the word"version"means and how more than one writer can tell a story in a different way.That is why there are may versions of the same story.
