阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个恰当的词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Tea in China is as important as coffee in western countries. As a Chinese, I am proud    11    our tea culture. Tea originated (起源) in China, so it should be no surprise that the use of teapot is from China as well. However, it is strange that the invention of teapots came at    12    (little) 500 years after tea was first made to drink.

During the early days of tea drinking, tea leaves were put    13    (direct) into a cup of hot water. It wasn’t    14    the Ming Dynasty that the first teapot was created.

The first teapot    15    (come) from Yixing, China. Since the Sung Dynasty, a kĩnd of purple clay    16    (call) zisha had been mined (开采) around Lake Tai, and it was used to make teapots. The purple clay can take in the taste of tea. If    17    teapot is used long enough, it’ll store enough of the tea’s taste. Then it is possible to make tea with the teapot and boiling water alone.

Yixing teapots were the prototype (雏形) of teapots. They were made by hand and in some    18    (tradition) ways.

Chinese teapots have stayed nearly the same in the past few    19    (century). From their     20     (one) introduction to the West in the late 1600s, however, western teapots have changed a lot at the European market.

The length of dragons can be     24     (difference), and people believe that the longer the dragon is, the more luck it will bring. A small     25     (organize) cannot run a very long dragon because it     26     (require) great human power, much money and special skills.

The Dragon Dance appeared during the Han Dynasty. During the Song Dynasty, it     27     (become) a popular activity like the Lion Dance. People could often see it during some important festivals.

Over 400 pieces of Dehua white porcelain (德化白瓷) were shown in the National Museum of China in Beijing. This type of porcelain comes from Dehua county in Fujian Province where it acquires its name and has a history that goes back to the Song Dynasty. Now, it’s famous all over the world.

Dehua white porcelain is known for its snow white color. An artist named Chen Chao says that it’s white because kaolin (高岭土) found in Dehua county has only a little iron.

This makes the porcelain as white as jade (玉石). In France, it’s called “Blanc de Chine”, which means “white from China”. The porcelain is also praised for its “eggshell technique”, which is very old. This technique has gotten better over time. Now, workers can make the porcelain as thin as paper or an eggshell. At the show, the artwork “Paper” drew much attention. It looks exactly like a roll of paper on the table, but actually it’s a piece of porcelain. Many visitors wondered ________. The process starts with putting kaolin on paper. Then, the paper and kaolin are heated in a kiln (窑) for a few days until they turn into what the maker wants them to be. By then, only the kaolin is left.

Heating the shaped kaolin is not easy. Workers must be very careful to make sure the clay stays the same when it’s heated. The temperature and the mix of the clay are key. Every component in the mix must be just right.

In 2006, Dehua white porcelain was named a part of China’s national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产). By mixing old Chinese art skills with new science, Dehua white porcelain helps to grow the pride of Chinese culture.
