An Unusual School Brings the Outside In

Pupils in Madrid, Spain have helped to design a school that is connected to nature. Reggio School is a six-storey building featuring a drawbridge entrance, walls made from mashed cork (软木泥) which provide a home for insects and an indoor rainforest. The school was designed by Andris Jaque, who asked pupils for bright ideas. "I want it to be as colorful and playful as a child's imagination." Andres said.

Starting in the 2023-24 school year, students in a northern Indiana school district (学区) will only be allowed to use clear bags at school. And each student will get one clear bag for free. This measure (措施) has been taken to improve safety in schools. It may help stop certain students from bringing dangerous objects such as guns with them to school.

Guangdong University of Finance and Economics has set up six "dazing zones (发呆区)" in its library for students to relax and get inspiration (灵感). Such zones are equipped with desks. chairs and plants, where students can overlook beautiful scenery, think, communicate, eat and rest. "The zones are designed to guide students over the best way to refresh themselves other than to escape from important tasks or projects." says Wang Zhongsheng, the head of the library.

Chinese music has a very long history. It's one of the oldest types of music in the world. Chinese ancient music was different from modern pieces. The ancient Chinese played instruments, but they didn't have a lot of songs with words. A lot of the music was for ceremonies and big events. 

The most famous instrument in ancient China was the guqin. It's a kind of stringed instrument(弦乐器). People thought the guqin was very beautiful. They believed it could make people happy or sad, and even change the weather! 

In the Tang Dynasty(618-907), there were many kinds of instruments. Music was important to the government. As a result, there were lots of musicians at the palace. Some of them came from other countries. They played their own music and sometimes they taught the Chinese how to play new instruments. 

During the Song Dynasty(960-1279), the Chinese developed new instruments. One of these was the pipa. It's a kind of guitar with four strings. Musicians wrote more than 200 songs for it. These songs are still popular today. 

In the Ming Dynasty(1368-1644)and the Qing Dynasty(1644-1912), there were many new styles of music. Some music was for the theatre. Other music was for the home, Beijing Opera is a traditional form of Chinese theater. It uses many different instruments, including the guqin and the xun. 

Today, Chinese music is a mix of traditional and modern music. There are many pop stars in China and people listen to music from all over the world. But traditional Chinese music is still popular, too.
