Like Zhang, there are many young people who have a passion     3     traditional Chinese culture. They are interested in clothes, songs and games     4     (base) on traditional culture. A report released by Bilibili shows that over 177 million of the platform’s users loved     5     (video) featuring traditional culture. Young people may think traditional culture     6     (be) the best way to distinguish their national identity. They want to tell the world who they are.     

While some prefer inheriting (继承) traditional Chinese culture, others are transforming it to be     7     (accessible) to the young generation. Pop culture designer Yu Yang is one of them,     8     works feature the ancient God of Fortune. The god wears fashionable Chinese shoes and a cap, and has a microphone in his hand. “Pop culture is a universal language.     9     (hopeful), more people would accept and love my work and know Chinese culture through my art pieces,” he said in     10     interview with China Daily.

Naturally green, red, yellow, or white, jade (玉) is a special rock. It’s important to Chinese culture largely due to     1     it represents. Here is a brief     2     (introduce) to jade.

Jade     3     (classify) into soft jade and hard jade. One type of hard jade is called feicui in Chinese that is now     4     (valuable) than soft jade in China today. As a pat of Chinese civilization, Chinese jade has been in use for practical and decorative     5     (purpose) since it was found.

Chinese people love jade not only because of its aesthetic (美学的) beauty     6     because it represents social value. In Li Ji, Confucius said that there are 11 virtues, represented in jade: justice, truth, intelligence, etc.

Jade is so firmly established in Chinese culture     7     there are many stories about Jade. Among them the most famous is He Shi Zhi Bi,     8     (tell) the story of Mr. He and how he found a piece of raw jade and tried to give it to two generations of kings, but they didn’t recognize it as priceless and cut off his feet     9     (punish) him for trying to pass off an unworthy stone. Afterwards, the grandson of the first king, Wenwang, had his jeweler cut the stone open and found the raw jade; it was carved into a disc and named     10     Mr. He.

According to a recent survey conducted by wenjuan.com,an online survey platform,some 96 percent of surveyed youth said they were willing to purchase guochao products,    1     refers to products by homegrown brands.    2     the same time，91.6 percent of respondents    3    （voice）their expectations for more video programs digging deeper into traditional Chinese culture.The age group of the interviewees ranged from the post-80s to the post-2000s generations，with the latter     4    （account）for 22.1 percent.

“Nowadays we are     5    （deep）connected with most countries in the world,which results in a comprehensive understanding of the outside world,yet we still have confidence in our own culture．This sense of pride     6    （base）on rational thinking，” said professor Su Junbin of Xiamen University.

Unlike older generations who might favor Western culture and brands，Chinese youth were born and raised when the     7    （country）economy was taking off, so they tend to have strong confidence in their national identity and culture.They have gained     8     full understanding of the outside world，and after several rounds of comparison,have finally found     9    （they）to be in a strong position．So the timing is perfect，Su said，    10    （push）forward cultural products imprinted with traditional Chinese cultural features.
