Some etiquette（礼仪）in modern life
Do you often use a cell phone? Do you take the subway to school every day? These items make our modern life easier. But do you know how we should behave properly while using them? The following suggestions might be helpful.
For cell phone users
◆Keep your voice down when you make a phone call in public. Shouting on the phone may make others feel uncomfortable. And you’d better not use it during an appointment（约会）.
◆Stop sending messages or playing games with your cell phone at a dinner or a party. It’s a good time to communicate（交流）with your family and friends.
◆Don’t make or answer a call while driving. It is not only very dangerous for both you and your passengers but also against the law.
For subway passengers
◆You are supposed to wait in line while buying tickets and getting on the subway.
◆You’re not allowed to eat, drink or smoke on the subway train. The smell and noise may trouble others. It’s our duty to keep the train clean and tidy. Besides, smoking is bad for health.
◆ You can’t take pets on the train. As we all know, animals may spread diseases（传播疾病）and get the train dirty.
◆ You’d better not lie across the subway seats even if the train isn’t crowded. Offering your seat to someone who needs it is regarded as good manners.

Taiping nijiaojiao is made of local mountain mud. It takes more than 10 steps to make, including kneading, making blowholes and coloring. From animals to plants, it can be made into anything. Often, it uses traditional cultural things that carry good meanings, like plum blossoms （梅花）. In 2016, the clay figurine art of taiping nijiaojiao was added to Jiangsu’s intangible cultural heritage（非物质文化）list.
Zhou Baokang who is 60 years old is an inheritor（传承人）of the taiping nijiaojiao art form. According to Zhou, anyone can try making taiping nijiaojiao.
