A group of comics called “Tiny Eyes” go popular on the Internet． With these comics, Chinese artist Cao Siyu shares the differences between Chinese culture and Western culture．

Cao Siyu comes from Beijing． She spent the last 10 years in France, the UK and the USA． “Many foreign people that I met were interested in China．” She explained． But most of their ideas about China are out of date． I hope I can change the image of China in foreigners’ mind．” That is why Cao Siyu put her idea of “Tiny Eyes” comics into practice．

By bringing words and images together, the Chinese artist tells stories in a simple yet powerful way． She shares Chinese People’s daily life and compares how differently people act in the same situation．

In one comic, for example, she compared French cutlery (餐具) with Chinese one: While French people use eight different forks and knives for a meal, Chinese people can make it with only a pair of chopsticks． And in another comic, Cao Siyu made it clear how people from different cultures express love． She wrote below the comic, “Chinese people are not used to saying ‘I love you, Mum’． Instead, they show their love in actions．”

Cao Siyu provides a new way for foreigners to know her motherland, and her works have gathered about 20 thousand fans on the Internet． “People from one culture may not be able to fully understand another． But we can listen to each other．” she said．

As soon as we walked into the main area of the museum, we saw thousands or beautiful butterflies all flapping (拍打) their coloful wings．

My girls were jumping up and down and I knew we had made the right decision to come to the museum． They were having so much fun． I turned to our museum tour guide because I was curious and asked, “How long do butterflies live?” She said, “About ten days．” “What can butterflies do in ten days?” I asked． The guide sopped, looked at me and said, “They make the world a more beautiful place．” “Wow,” I said, “I never thought about butterflies like that． Thank you．”

After we said goodbye, I couldn’t stop thinking about what the guide had said． She was right． We all have something to offer the world with the time we have． When we focus our gifts on taking care of each other every day, we can make a difference．

According to some old Chinese stories, there once was an ancient emperor named Shennong． At that time, people could not tell the difference between medicinal and poisonous （有毒的）plants． When they got sick, there was no medicine to treat their illnesses． Many sick people could only wait for death．

To save his people, Shennong decided to find and test out different plants． He and his followers set out on a journey in search of medicinally effective plants． Once, they saw a large forest on a high cliff （悬崖）from a distance． There must be many different kinds of plants, but they couldn’t find a way to the cliff． Suddenly, they saw some monkeys climbing along the vines and trees hanging down from the cliff． Shennong was inspired by the scene． He asked his followers to cut down the tree trunks and vines． Together they built scaffold （脚手架）, with its help, they climbed to the cliff and collected many valuable plants．

Each time the team found a new type of plant, Shennong would taste it himself． Some plants made him sleepy． Some caused him to suffer pains in his stomach． Some made him tremble （颤抖） all over． After searching and testing over a long period of time, he and his followers discovered hundreds of medicinal plants．

As they continued their search, the team found a plant with small yellow flowers on a mountain． When a young man reached for it, the plant moved like a worm． Shennong picked off one piece from the plant in order to taste it． Other people tried to stop him, but Shennong said calmly, “It looks like a medicinal plant． I have to test it, or some people may misuse it．”

Suddenly, Shennong’s face turned pale and he fell on the ground． Blood flowed from his mouth and nose． Even after he was given the leaves from other medicinal plants, he was still not able to recover． The emperor soon took his last breath． People covered him with thousands of flowers． From then on, they called him the “Emperor of Medicine”．

Do you ever feel like you are just rushing from one subject to another? When things happen so fast, maybe you can’t understand clearly what you are doing or learning, so it is important to stop yourself to think about what you have been doing or learning．

Self-reflection(反省)means slowing down and calming yourself, including calming your mind． Some people like to do self-reflection only in their mind． Others keep a diary． What’s more, taking notes is also OK． Each method (方法)works． You can follow the steps to do self-reflection．

First, choose the right time to do it． School textbooks are made up of units of study． This makes it easier to begin self-reflection． Look for time when you finish a unit of study． Sometimes you know it’s the time because there is some kind of test． Use these natural breaks to stop and do self-reflection．

Then, find a quiet place and take out your reflection diary． Write down some notes on the new things that you learned in the unit．

Finally, think about things that you are not sure of． Maybe you learned a new way to work out a maths problem, but you’re not sure when to use it． Writing down your questions will help you remember to look for answers the next time you are working with the same topic．

Successful students always know self-reflection is important． If you have never taken the time to do self-reflection, try it now．

The game of Go is one of the four most popular games in Chinese culture． It is not only a competitive(竞争的) event of the mind, but also a board game of entertainment(娱乐)．

Go was created in China more than 4,000 years ago． Now many people around the world have shown great interest in it, too． Moreover, Go is still used as a way of cultural exchange among the people in many Eastern and Western countries today．

The game of Go has many meanings for real life． It represents a square world of round pieces in black and white． While the board is fixed, the pieces can be placed in millions of different ways, just as life in the real world may take many turns． The proper placement of each tiny Go piece is the same as how one might solve a difficult problem in life．

Go carries deeper cultural and competitive meanings． In the game of Go, the players do not wipe out(消灭) each other’s pieces． Instead, they simply try to win a larger share of space while allowing the other side some space． The one who makes the other side into a dead corner wins the game．

After the 2022 Spring Festival Gala, an amazing show called The Journey of a Legendary Landscape Painting (《只此青绿》) became a hit． The show is based on a classical Chinese painting—A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains by Wang Ximeng, an artist who lived during the Song dynasty(960-1279)． Watching the show is like going on a journey back to the Song dynasty． The painting is now kept in the Palace Museum in Beijing．

Netizens made a word for the challenging move—“blue-green waist”(青绿腰)． In fact, the bend(弯曲) in the show is meant to sketch the shape of steep cliffs and winding mountains in the painting． A number of people take on the challenge by bending backward． Some dancers even bend backward at a 90-degree angle． The graceful but difficult backbend has become popular． However, without years of training or proper instructions, people may hurt their bones．

The dancers in the show have trained for years before getting on stage． To show the beauty of the painting through traditional Chinese dance movements, the directors studied a lot of materials and read almost all the poems of the Song dynasty． It took them almost 20 months to put the show on the stage．
