What do you do on holiday? How about trying the traditional opera — Shaoxing Opera? Some students decide to learn it in the winter holiday.
Shaoxing Opera started in the city of Sheng zhou, around 1906. Today, like many other traditional operas, it’s very difficult to attract (吸引) young people to enjoy Shaoxing Opera. So some Shaoxing Opera artists in Shanghai often give cultural (文化的) talks to young people. They also teach young people for free and invite them to go backstage (后台) after shows. Now more and more young people become interested in Shaoxing Opera.
Li Hong, one of the young, said, “My grandparents are artists of Flower-drum Opera. I come to learn Shaoxing Opera because I want to know more about traditional Chinese operas.” Li Ping is the teacher of those young students. “I’m glad they come. More and more young people like to learn Shaoxing Opera and they bring new life to it,” she said.

【推荐1】“Family” weights a lot in Chinese. We can see theme of “family” in many traditional festivals, for example, Lunar New Year, the Double Ninth Festival, as also the Mid-Autumn Festival. When is the best time for us to enjoy the bright and full moon? Of course, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, one of the most important festivals in China. We look at the moon, eat moon cakes, and get together with our families.
The moon is special to most Chinese people. We enjoy it, because the full moon shows reunion (团聚). Our love of the moon comes from ancient times. There is a story of Chang’e flying to the moon. Many Chinese poets connected (联系) the moon with their families. Today, the moon is still important to Chinese people.
However, Western people see the moon differently. In some stories, the full moon is frightened (可怕的) to people. The most well-known story is the werewolf (狼人). A werewolf usually looks like a person, but changes into a wolf-like creature when there is a full moon. Also, if someone is very excited or even crazy about something, other may joke, “it must be a full moon”.
