Xi’an celebrates the first-ever China Hanfu Day on April 18. There were catwalk shows and traditional music concerts held by people wearing traditional Chinese clothing. Hanfu fans from all over China gathered there to take photos and put them online for a Hanfu photo competition, which lasted until May 18.

The national holiday is on the third day of the third month of the Chinese lunar calendar as China Hanfu Day, which is said to be the birthday of the Yellow Emperor (黄帝). In ancient China, this day was also known as Shangsi Festival (上巳节). It is organized by the central Committee of the Communist Young League (CCCYL,中央共青团)in cooperation (合作)with anime video site bilibili. com. Its purpose is to encourage young Chinese to take pride in traditional clothing, as well as classic Chinese culture.

Hanfu is the traditional clothing of the Han people who lived in China before the Qing Dynasty. It has been around for about 3,000 years and changed greatly across different dynasties. However, some of its major characteristics have remained. One characteristic is the appearance of the front of the clothing. There are two parts that overlap (交叠) on the front, which is called “jiao ling (crossing collar)”. Another major characteristic of Hanfu is that it usually uses ribbons(系带) instead of buttons (扣子), sometimes decorated with a few buttons.

“China is becoming a leading power in the world, and the Chinese public feels more confident about its traditional culture,”Chen Chuyu, leader of a Beijing-based hanfu institution, told People’s Daily Online. “Wearing traditional clothing might be an interesting way of showing how they feel about this.”

Topic: Do you think students should do homework in primary school?

Qu Dongdong, 13

I think there is no need to do homework in primary school. Some research has shown that students' grades do not improve when they have a lot of homework. This means they are w1. their time. So why not let students do something they like? They can learn a musical instrument or read books. This at least allows them to master a s2. and broaden their horizons(视野).

Homework puts students under a lot of pressure. It is not good for kids' h3.. They may easily get sick. Besides, homework often takes up too much of their free time. They don't have enough time to spend with family and playing with friends. When I was growing up, I thought primary school might be the best time to have fun. Also, I think there must be better ways for kids to review their knowledge instead of homework. For example, they can learn t4. fun games.

Homework can help us review after a day of learning. We can see whether we have mastered what we learned. To some extent(在某种程度上), it is hard for kids to make plans. But homework helps them develop good learning h5.. It will be useful for their future studies, or even their whole lives. Surely, homework does bring some pressure. But students will have to deal with it sooner or later. It encourages them to work harder.

Zhang Yuwenyao, 13

Students have l6. self-control(自控力). Without homework, they will freely play after school. I guess they will never open their books and review what they learned. So it is necessary for them to do homework, o7. they won't make any progress. Primary school studies are really important. They lay a foundation for future studies. If kids don't do well, it will have bad influence on their future.
