From the melodious and pleasant folk music to the elaborate and touching local dramas, form the simple but elegant inkwash painting to the flexible and power calligraphy, one can always discern the light of sparkling wisdom.

舞狮在中国是一项传统体育项目,也是一种传统文化艺术,从北方到南方,从城市到乡村,逢年过节及庆典盛事,都可以看到欢快的舞狮。

民间认为舞狮可以很好地把百姓的欢喜心情表达出来,也最能烘托热闹气氛。

舞狮尤以广东地区一带最为盛行。

用来舞动的狮子外形威武,动作刚劲,神态多变,广东人称它为“醒狮”。

中国百姓对狮子有图腾般的崇敬感,狮子在民间有很多传说,其位置仅次于龙,因此舞狮也就带有了不少神秘色彩。

人们相信狮子是吉祥瑞兽,而舞狮能够带来好运,所以每逢节日和喜庆活动,都会舞狮助兴,祈求吉利和如意。

Ways to Get Over Information ExplosionAs a famous saying goes, “A wealth of information creates a poverty of attention”. Nowadays we are in the Information Age. Some people keep complaining about distraction by the information explosion. Admittedly, the new information age has brought us so much convenience that we are allowed to get enough information just with a simple click sitting in front of the computers. Nevertheless, we are also confused, annoyed, distracted and upset by an incredibly large quantity of information. For example, when searching for something online, people are easily carried away by irrelevant information and forget their original plan. Besides, some information often turns out to be useless and is actually advertisement. Therefore, it can be time-consuming and troublesome to search information online. Then what we can do to avoid being distracted by irrelevant information? Here I have some useful tips: Firstly, make a list of what you really want before your searching. This will help you to refuse some appealing, yet irrelevant information. Secondly, find some trustful and professional sources or websites and then save and categorize them. In this case, you can easily leave some ads and useless information behind.闻名于世的丝绸之路是一系列连接东西方的路线。

公历一年有12个月，但不少人并不知道12 个月的英语名称的来历。

公历起源于古罗马历法。

罗马的英语原来只有10 个月，古罗马皇帝决定增加两个月放在年尾，后来朱里斯-凯撒大帝把这两个月移到年初，成为1月、2月，原来的1月、2月便成了3月、4月，依次类推。

这就是今天世界沿用的公历。

January——1月在罗马传说中，有一位名叫雅努斯的守护神，生有先后两副脸，一副回顾过去，一副要眺望未来。

人们认为选择他的名字作为除旧迎新的第一个月月名，很有意义。

英语January，便是由这位守护神的拉丁文名字January演变而来的。

February——2月每年 2 月初，罗马人民都要杀牲饮酒，欢庆菲勃卢姆节。

这一天，人们常用一种牛、草制成的名叫Februa的鞭子，抽打不育的妇女，以求怀孕生子。

这一天，人们还要忏悔自己过去一年的罪过，洗刷自己的灵魂，求得神明的饶恕，使自己成为一个贞洁的人。

英语2月February，便是由拉丁文Februar-ius（即菲勃卢姆节）演变而来。

March-----3月3月，原是罗马旧历法的1 月，新年的开始。

凯撒大帝改革历法后，原来的1月变成3月，但罗马人仍然把3 月看做是一年的开始。

另外，按照传统习惯，3月是每年出征远战的季节。

为了纪念战神玛尔斯，人们便把这位战神的拉丁名字作为3月的月名。

英语3月March，便是由这位战神的名字演变而来的。

April——4月罗马的4月，正是大地回春.鲜花初绽的美好季节。

英文4月April便由拉丁文April（即开花的日子）演变而来。

May——5月罗马神话中的女神玛雅，专门司管春天和生命。

为了纪念这位女神，罗马人便用她的名字——拉丁文Maius命名5月，英文5月May便由这位女神的名字演变而来。

June——6月罗马神话中的裘诺，是众神之王，又是司管生育和保护妇女的神。

古罗马对她十分崇敬，便把6月奉献给她，以她的名字——拉丁文Junius来命名6 月。

英语6月June便由这位女神的名字演变而来。

概述Introduction中华民族是一个古老的民族,也是一个有深厚文化底蕴的民族。

中国的传统艺术门类繁多、雅俗共赏,从悠扬动人的民间音乐到细腻缠绵的地方戏曲,从疏洁淡雅的水墨画到刚柔并济的书法,无不闪烁着智慧之光,令人赞叹不已。

China, a nation of long history with profound culture, inherited and developed a great variety of traditional art forms which suit both refined and popular tastes. From the melodious and pleasant folk music to the elaborate and touching local dramas, form the simple but elegant inkwash painting to the flexible and power calligraphy, one can always discern the light of sparkling wisdom. Traditional Chinese arts have tremendously impressed the world.舞狮舞狮大约起源于南北朝时期,到了唐朝,狮子舞已发展为上百人集体表演的大型歌舞。

舞狮在中国是一项传统体育项目,也是一种传统文化艺术,从北方到南方,从城市到乡村,逢年过节及庆典盛事,都可以看到欢快的舞狮。

民间认为舞狮可以很好地把百姓的欢喜心情表达出来,也最能烘托热闹气氛。

舞狮尤以广东地区一带最为盛行。

用来舞动的狮子外形威武,动作刚劲,神态多变,广东人称它为“醒狮”。

中国百姓对狮子有图腾般的崇敬感,狮子在民间有很多传说,其位置仅次于龙,因此舞狮也就带有了不少神秘色彩。

人们相信狮子是吉祥瑞兽,而舞狮能够带来好运,所以每逢节日和喜庆活动,都会舞狮助兴,祈求吉利和如意。
