We usually understand when someone speaks or writes to us, and many gestures have meanings, too. But few of us ever considered what and how we eat as a way of communication. The food people eat during celebrations and ceremonies (仪式) can symbolize (象征) many things. In many cultures, people share food at meal times. Sharing bread or other foods is a common human tradition that can improve trust. Food can also have a particular (特别的) meaning, and play an important role in a family or culture’s celebrations or traditions. The foods we eat—and when and how we eat them—are often unique to a particular culture, or may even differ between the country and the city one country.

In most cultures, bread represents nourishment (营养). It is also one of the most commonly shared foods in the world. Sharing bread, whether at a special time or at the family dinner table, is a common symbol of companionship and togetherness. In fact, the word “companion” comes from the Latin com (together) and panis (bread). Many cultures also celebrate birthdays and marriages with beautifully decorated cakes that are cut and shared among the guests. Early types of cakes were simply a kind of bread, so this tradition has its root (根源) in the custom of sharing bread.

Food also plays an important role in many New Year celebrations. In the southern United States, pieces of cornbread represent blocks of gold for prosperity (繁荣) in the new year. In Greece, people share a special cake called vasilopita. A coin is baked into the cake, which represents success in the New Year for the person who receives it. Most of the foods eaten during the Chinese New Year have symbolic meanings. Sometimes this is based on their shape; for example, long noodles symbolize long life. The symbolism can also be based on the sound of the word in Chinese. For example, people give out oranges because the word for “orange” sounds like the word for “good luck”.

In the morning this Wednesday, a red bronze horse-head statue (铜像) was donated back by Macao-based tycoon and collector Stanley Ho Hung-sun and handed over to the National Cultural Heritage Administration in Beijing (北京文化遗产管理处)China on November 13th ,2019.

These animal-head taps took turns to spray(喷) water during different hours within a day, at noon, a salvo(同时喷水) would happen.

The invading Anglo-French Alliance Forces(英法联军) rampaged through the Old Summer Palace and set it on fire in 1860. Millions of national treasures, including the 12 animal-head statues, were taken abroad in the war.

Ho spent HK$ 69.1 million ($8.8 million) to buy the statue in September 2007, and publicly exhibited it in Hong Kong and Macao promoting people’s consciousness (意识) of protecting cultural relics.

Ho decided to donate it back to the mainland on 20th anniversary of Macao’s return to China, after he contacted the National Cultural Heritage Administration, which said the statue will be given back to the Yuanmingyuan administration.

The horse-head statue is the seventh that has returned to Beijing among the 12 articles from the Old Summer Palace fountain, the rest of which are hoped to be returned in future.
