Besides, the typical activities of celebrating the Spring Festival include setting off firecrackers to see off the old year and welcome the New Year, and extending the New Year greetings to the elders, friends and relatives to express good wishes. 众所周知，长城有两千多年的历史，是中国建筑史上的奇迹，也是世界文化遗产之一。长城是中国古代人民智慧的结晶(condensation), 也是中华民族和中华文明的象征。长城从东到西蜿蜒(wind)起伏于中国北部，全长8851.8千米。过去，长城是为了抵御北方敌人的进攻而修建的。如今，长城已经成为著名的旅游景点，每年都吸引着众多来自国内外的游客。 It’s well known that the Great Wall, with a history of over 2,000 years, is a great construction wonder of China and one of the world cultural heritages as well.

On the one hand, we should seize the opportunity and continue to accelerate economic development to enhance the comprehensive national strength of China. On the other hand, we must adhere to the sustainable development of the national economy and try to improve people’s living standards steadily. Meanwhile, we must inherit the fine traditions and cultures of our own in the process of globalization. Only in this way can we occupy a favorable position in the increasingly fierce competition and play a more and more important role in international affairs. 农历正月十五是中国的元宵节，人们习惯在门外悬挂大红灯笼(lantern)。孩子们提着彩色灯笼玩，大人们则上街赏灯。元宵节上所悬挂灯笼的形状都有吉祥的(auspicious)寓意，如莲花(lotus)和鲤鱼(carp)代表富贵，大象代表万象更新。灯笼上都写有灯谜(riddle)，猜到谜底往往被认为是好的兆头(omen)。 The 15th day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival in China.

Guessing the lantern riddles is supposed to be a good omen. 面塑也叫“面人”(“dough figurine-making”)，是用糯米(glutinous rice)粉和面加彩后，捏成各种小型人物，可用于收藏，也可供食用。面塑主要用于婚娶礼品、殡葬供品，也用于寿辰生日、馈赠亲友、祈祷祭奠等。制作面塑最重要的是发面技术。“印、捏(kneading)、镶、滚”是面塑艺术的特点。就捏制风格来说，黄河流域古朴、粗犷、豪放、深厚，长江流域细致、优美、精巧。 Dough sculpture, also called “dough figurine-making”, is the art of mak
