As a country with a history of over 5,000 years, China is the home of tea. Last summer, I took a trip to Huangshan Mountain in Anhui, China with my parents. I will never 1 the Chinese tea culture there.

On a sunny afternoon, we arrived at the foot of the mountain, tired 2 excited. After a short rest, the 3 took us to a big farm and we learned about tea processing there. He told us that Sheng Nong found out 4 as a drink in old times. In the evening, we paid a visit to a tea house. We watched a tea art show and 5 the local（当地的）green tea. We saw a young woman in a beautiful Chinese dress showed us 6 a cup of tea is made with tea sets. We really enjoyed it and 7 ourselves when we were listening to the traditional folk music. We are sure that the 8 are the ones who best understand the nature of tea.

Time went fast there. I learned a lot about tea culture 9 . Through this journey, I knew something new about the country. I am 10 to the next trip to China!

A lively group of elderly people in Tianijin that are known  {#blank#}1{#/blank#} the "diving(跳水) grandpas" have recently become the hot topic with their interesting performances. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}, they said on September 6th that they would give up the diving sport for public safety.

"Diving grandpas" are not {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (profession) divers but just local swimming-lovers. They went swimming in the city's rivers at first, and later they tried diving. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} hobby has lasted for more than thirty years. These seniors have been turning a bridge into a stage. The bridge stands around 6 meters above the surface of the river. Many people believe that {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (watch) these grandpas diving has brought positive energy and joy to them.

However, being influenced by online videos, some inexperienced divers tried to follow the grandpas. Without proper training, they have met with accidents and got themselves {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (bad) hurt. With the increasing {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (popular) of "Tianjin diving grandpas", some so-called Internet celebrities(网红) also came here to get the attention. Instead of going diving {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (they), they encouraged others to dive so that they could make more online videos to earn money. Experts have pointed out that actions should {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (take) to stop such behaviors(行为). And people are not allowed {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (jump) off the bridge without training.

As the powerful singing voice of 71-year-old Liu Aibang echoes( 回 荡 ) across the classroom, students control shadow puppets (皮影木偶) with thin straight pieces of wood, making them step onto the "stage"—a cloth screen provided with light from behind. Those sitting in front of the stage play music on drums, suona and other instruments. 

This is a Daoqing Shadow Puppetry class at Longdong University. Besides Liu. the other performers of the show are all college students. Starting in the Han Dynasty, Daoqing Shadow Puppetry has been included in the national intangible cultural heritage list(非物质文化遗产名单) since 2006. 

However, with technologies becoming more and more popular, many performers moved on to other jobs. Faced with the choice between protecting this art and making a good living, Liu chose to stay on. 

One day in 2020, Liu got a phone call from Zhao Zhixue, the director of the music school at Longdong University. Zhao told him that the school planned to introduce Daoqing Shadow Puppetry into college classrooms. "We want to develop young students'long-term interest in intangible cultural heritage, "said Zhao. 

Excited by the news, Liu became a part-time teacher at the college. He came to school twice a week, teaching a two-hour class each time. Liu hopes to train more young people. "Just as true love is not a one-man show, the inheritance(传承) of cultural heritage needs efforts from both the old and the young, "Liu said.
