1. Being a traditional holiday, it is still now celebrated quite often in many areas. Midwinter day is the day in the northern areas with the shortest day and the longest night year-round. After it, daytime will become increasingly longer and the coldest climate will hit all the places on the Northern part of the globe. On that day, it’s a tradition to eat dumplings in the north of China.

2. It is the 11th solar term of the year, which happens in July. It signifies the hottest period is coming but the extreme hot point has yet to arrive. During this time, farmers are devoted to field management. Kidney bean, peanut and so on are growing now, and people water and also prevent the injurious insects.

3.It is the third solar term according to the Chinese lunar calendar. When it comes, spring thunder (雷 ) cracks the sky and everything in nature begins to grow. It means that animals sleeping in winter are awakened by spring thunder and that the earth begins to come back to life. After it, days will get warm, rainfall will increase and nature will change quietly.

4.The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. It is the first solar term of the year. This year it begins on Feb 4th and ends on Feb 18th. It lifts the curtain of spring. After that, everything turns green and full of vigor. People clearly see that the daytime is becoming longer and the weather is becoming warmer.

5. It falls in early spring, on the 106th day after the winter solstice. It is a time to remember the dead and honour one’s deceased ancestors and family members. It is a “spring” festival, and it is an occasion for the whole family to leave the home and to sweep the graves of their forebears.

The doctors and nurses wore the same suits, hats and masks, and it was difficult to tell who was who when doing an operation.To solve the problem, Rob Hackett, an anesthesiologist(麻醉师) in Sydney, Australia, had an idea to write his name on his hat. At the beginning, his workmates didn't take it seriously, even someone laughed at him, “Don’t you remember your name?”

Dr. Rob showed his thoughts on the website Bored Panda, “As we all know, doctors are a stressful job, and when facing with life and death danger, we have to race against time to try to save patients' lives. We need to create a culture that allows us to rebuild health care. We need to develop a system that reduces mistakes and errors.”

A year later, Rob had the last laugh. Surgical(外科手术)caps with names have been accepted around the world because of the following advantages:

※ This simple method can reduce human mistakes in medical care. Doctors found that doing this can find proper doctors and nurses in time, which greatly saves the time of communication.

※ The idea is to make patients feel human. The patient lies on sickbed, knowing who is doing the operation. This is also a kind of comfort which lets the patient feel less nervous.

※ In addition, writing names on the surgical hat is a new way to promote(促进) the recycled use of hats, with environmental benefits.
