    When HarmonyOS, the Chinese self-developed operating system (操作系统) for Huawei mobile phones, appeared on Aug 9, it quickly became a hot topic on social media. Many believe it not only means the rising power of our country's technology, but also shows respect to classical Chinese culture by naming the system "Hongmeng" in Chinese. 

    "Hongmeng" is a word from the ancient book Zhuangzi. It was used to describe the original state (原始状态) of the universe (宇宙) before the material came into shape. For HarmonyOS, "Hongmeng" shows that the developers want to make a new operating system, different from any other. Besides "Hongmeng", Huawei has also owned many of its products (产品) under the names of legendary creatures from traditional Chinese folk stories, such as "Qilin", a lucky monster and "Kunpeng", an animal that changed from a fish into a large bird. Many Chinese Internet users and media have spoken highly of Huawei's use of these names because they carry Chinese wisdom and ancient people's imagination.

    In fact, Huawei is not alone in using traditional culture or modern business. Ne Zha, the new film, also connects traditional culture with modern elements (元素) successfully. It became the biggest surprise this summer. It tells a different story of Ne Zha-he is a devil (恶魔) born into a loving family and becomes a hero in the end.

    Although Ne Zha's appearance in this film is strange and kind of ugly with scary teeth and heavy dark circles around his eyes, his spirit of trying to control his own life greatly encourages young people to fight for their bright future.

    Indeed, the long history and a large number of classic works have given China a colorful culture. Myths and legends like Nv Wa Repairs the Sky and Hou Yi shoots the Suns are the creative works of imagination. After all, imagination is the beginning of creation.

    Australia as a nation is less than 250 years old if the year 1770 when James Cook discovered the land is regarded as a starting point for its modern history. The short history has not produced a big wealth of cultural heritages. For this reason, Australia spare no efforts to protect its culture. The cottage of James Cook is a perfect example of the government and people's effort.

    Built in 1755, Cooks' Cottage is the oldest building in Australia, with a fascinating past. It's a must when exploring Melbourne. Originally located in Yorkshire, England, the cottage was brought to the Fitzroy Gardens by Sir Russell Grimwade in 1934. In 1901 Australia came into being with its capital in Melbourne. To celebrate the birth of the nation, a statue of Captain Cook was built in Sydney where Cook had sailed in and set his steps onto the land. Stamps were printed in honor of the English explorer. However, Australian people would have to travel all the way to Britain to admire the life of the discoverer, so Sir Russell Grimwade, an Australian businessman, offered to buy the old house of James Cook in Yorkshire and relocate it to Melbourne when Melbourne celebrated its 100th anniversary in 1934. Amazingly, each piece was carefully numbered, packed into boxes and then shipped to Australia, along with cuttings of the original coverings. It took nearly a month to reach Melbourne.

    In fact, explorer Captain James Cook never lived in the cottage-he'd been away from home for almost ten years when his father built it-but this connection to the Cook family was enough to prompt Grimwade to transport the cottage to the other side of the world.
