    Each different part of China has its own special forms of traditional art. These usually try to represent the things that are important in life such as love, beauty and family. The most common things, from paper to clay to bamboo, are turned into objects of beauty.

    According to Chinese history, sky lanterns were first used by Zhuge Kongming. He sent them out to ask for help when in trouble. Today, sky lanterns are used at festivals and other celebrations. They are made of bamboo and covered with paper. When the lanterns are lit, they slowly rise into the air like small hot-air balloons for all to see. They are seen as bright symbols of happiness and good wishes.

    Paper cutting has been around for more than 1,500 years. Paper cutting sounds very easy but it can be difficult to do. The paper, usually red, is folded before it is cut with scissors. The most common pictures are flowers, fish, animals, and things about Chinese history. During the Spring Festival, they are put on windows, doors and walls as symbols of wishes for good luck and a happy new year.

    Chinese clay art is famous because the clay pieces are so small but they look very real. The pieces are carefully shaped by hand from a very special kind of clay and then allowed to air-dry. After drying, they are fired at a very high heat. They are then polished and painted. Finally, materials such as wood or paper are added to make different things. It takes several weeks to complete everything. These small pieces of clay art show the love that all Chinese people have for life and beauty.

    Welcome to Hong Kong! Here is some information that can help you know the city very well.

    Kong lies in the southeastern part of China. She returned to our motherland in 1997. If you go to Hong Kong by air, you will arrive at Kai Tak Airport, because there was not enough land. This airport was built out into the sea. It is in the part of Hong Kong called Kowloon. Kowloon is one of the two big cities in Hong Kong. The other city is Hong Kong itself. It is on an island. You can get there by ship or through a tunnel under the sea. Much of Hong Kong is farmland and mountains.

    The population(人口) of Hong Kong is over six million. People from all over the world travel to Hong Kong every year. You can watch horse racing or motor racing. Some places are quiet and beautiful. When you are hot and tired, there are small cool gardens to rest in. There are also a lot of buildings to live in. Hong Kong is also a good place for Chinese food. You can enjoy many kinds of cooking. For example, fish, meat and vegetables. Beijing duck is famous. There is certainly a lot to see and to do in Hong Kong.

    Eaten any wood today? You may have! And you possibly brushed your teeth with it and you are even dressed with wood. You might know that paper is made from wood. But we get a lot more from trees than paper! In fact, more than 5,000 wood products make our lives better each day. It's true! From toothpaste to photo film, wood products are all around us.

    Wood resin(树脂) is one of many chemicals we get from trees. When a tree gets hurt, resin will form as a protective(保护性的) coating around the wound to stop the insect. People collect the resin and use it to produce paint, glue and soap.

    There are also tree-based chemicals in many of the foods we eat and drink. Some of these chemicals are used to add colours to soft drinks, others to keep food from going bad too quickly. For example, snack food, milk shake and ice creams can be made with cellulose (纤维素) from trees.

    Our life is full of products that come from trees. Now, how many tree products can you see from where you are sitting right now?
