The Origin of SurnameZhang,Wang,Li,Zhao,Qian,Sun…Everyone has its surname.Well,what’s the origin of surname?
Nowadays,most of the Chinese surnames came from thousands of years ago.After researching their history,we know the surnames we have today came from about 12 categories. About PeachPeach blossom is beautiful,the most I have seen are pink.They are so little but quite clean.In the past,every in Spring Festival,lots of peach blossom would be seen.Those beautiful flowers enriched happy atmosphere in festival. Tang PoetryIn Chinese culture,many people love poetry quite much,so do I.I like Tang poetry quite much.When I read them quietly,I will think a lot of things.It seems that they make me be in a relaxed artistic conception.Experiencing every detail of Tang poetry with our hearts,just like we stay with the authors together. LotusLotus can be seen in many places.In China,lotus has been planted since 3000 years ago.Now in Liaoning and Zhejiang Province,some ancient lotus seed were found.It proves that lotus has a long history.But the lotus in Taiwan Province was brought in from Japan just 100 years ago.Now there is a large scale of lotus in Taiwan,gradually this becomes one of main sceneries there.Also some wild lotus were found in Asia,but in fact most of lotus are planted by people.Those lotus are used for eating and appreciating. Beijing Shadow PuppetShadow puppet play is an antique and traditional art in China.The old Beijing called it Donkey Shadow Puppet.During thousands of years,it gave our ancestors a great amount of happiness.It belongs to puppet play not only,also a kind of genuine craft. Old Beijing Clay Figurine----tu’er’yeAs to me,a girl who like interesting little things very much.I have watched a TV play about clay figurine.It is about a man in Guangzhou who are good at making clay figurines with colourful clay.He has lots of works,which include cute animals,beautiful flowers and scenerys.But my subject today is not clay figurines in Guangzhou,but old Beijing clay figurines. Interesting Facial MaskI’m always interested in facial mask when I was quite young,but in my hometown,they can be seen few,so being a toy for facial mask becomes a dream in our district.And I think it may be a reason for differences in different districts.Just as in Shaanxi Province,expecially in Shaanxi Guanzhong and South Shaan,local people like to use ladle facial masks when offering sacrifices to their ancestors. Riverside Scenes at the Qingming FestivalRiverside Scenes at the Qingming Festival is Zhang Zeduan’s unique work now left in the world.It is kept in Beijing Imperial Palace Museum at present.Its width is 25.5 cm and its lenth is 525 cm.There are 684 human characters in the picture,96 animals,122 houses,8 sedan chairs,25 boats,124 trees. Spring Festival CoupletsSpring Festival couplets also called door couplets,they have neat writing,antithesis,concise and exquisite words.Couplets describe backgrounds of different periods,expressing people’s good wishes.They are special literature form in China. Ansai Waist DrumAnsai waist drum is a special kind of large and folk dance art.It has a long history of more than two thousand years.Not only it shows northwest Loess Plateau people’s simple,bold and unconstrained dispositionas,also the unique artistic characters.
