The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms (节气). It's very useful for people's life and work. Let's have a look. | |||
Start of Spring | Start of Spring, the first solar term of the year. It marks the end of winter and the beginning of spring. After Start of Spring, the daytime is becoming longer and the weather is becoming warmer. And people eat spring pancakes and spring rolls on the day. | ||
Summer Solstice, the 10th solar term. At this time, much of northern hemisphere (北半球) receives the most hours of daylight, but it is not the hottest time in a year. The hottest days often come 20 to 30 days later. People have a tradition of eating noodles on the day. | |||
Autumn Equinox, the 16th solar term. On this day, day and night are of equal length (等长). After this day, days get shorter and nights get longer in the northern hemisphere. In South China, people eat Qiucai, a kind of wild amaranth (苋菜). | |||
Major Snow, or "Daxue" in Chinese, is the 21st solar term. The arrival of Major Snow marks the beginning of midwinter. The temperature drops day by day and heavy snow brings us a romantic ice world. People have the custom to eat mutton and porridge. |
Many people like visiting new places and seeing new things. But before taking a trip, we all have to decide who we want to travel with: is it better to go with family, with friends, or alone?
Traveling with family can be hard work and you may argue a lot. Not everyone in the family wants to do the same things. But traveling with family can be very cheap. And traveling with parents can make you feel more comfortable and relaxed. They won't let you do anything dangerous. Traveling with friends isn't usually expensive, but money always plays an important role. It's normal for everyone to have different budgets(预算) and there needs to be lots of compromise(妥协). This may cause problems. But traveling with friends can be great fun. It also helps you learn more about your friends, and sharing experiences can keep your friendship (友谊).
When deciding who to travel with, young adults can choose to travel alone. Traveling alone has advantages. For example, you don't have to compromise on money problems. You can choose what you want to do and it can also be a good way to meet new people. However, it can be lonely and sometimes dangerous. When you're ill or having trouble, nobody will be there to help you.
