Along with firewood (柴), rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, tea is considered one of the seven necessities for life in China. Now, it has also won global (全球的) attention as a shared cultural treasure of mankind.

Since ancient times, Chinese people have been planting, picking, making and drinking tea. More importantly, China's tea culture has developed social custom. It is Chinese tradition that a host should welcome visiting guests with boiled tea. A poem by Song poet Du Lei reads: I offer tea, not wine, to a guest on a cold night.

Boiling tea is one of the oldest Chinese tea brewing (煮沏) methods, dating back (追溯) to the Tang Dynasty (618-907). Tea leaves were boiled for a long time and sometimes they were cooked together with different kinds of herbs (草药) and fruits. During this process, people can enjoy a quiet time. Later in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), a faster and more convenient method become more popular—steeping (冲泡).

However, the old method is now making a comeback among Chinese young people. On the app Xiaohongshu, here are over 40,000 posts on the topic of "stove-boiled" tea (围炉煮茶). They roast tea leaves before boiling them in a teapot on a stove. People sit around the stove in a natural setting and have snacks with their hot tea. Some also wear traditional hanfu as if it could take them back to those ancient times.

Through "stove-boiled" tea, people can taste a slower life and find their inner peace (内心平和). As is written in one Xiaohongshu post, "It is very relaxing to drink hot tea and chat with best friends."

Since September,many schools have more PE classes from three time a week to five or even more. This is in response to (响应) China's new standard(标准) on PE classes. The standard asks schools to make sure that 10 to 11 percent of all class time must be PE classes. 

The standard not only(不但) asks students to do easy exercise, but also(而且) asks schools to give students other popular sports to do. 

Ma Jiajun, 15, from Jilin, set a new world record(纪录) for "the most consecutive jump triples(连续三摇跳绳)" with 701 times. His teacher Chen Peng said that the school has always kept an eye on PE. With Ma as a role model now, students are more hardworking on not only jump rope(跳绳) but also other kinds of sports. 

"At first tai chi(太极)was only needed during break time to show Chinese traditional culture, but students fell in love with it, " said Guo Yunxiang from a middle school of Shan Dong. Grade 8 students all need to do it, and there is a tai chi competition every year for Grade 8 students. "Different from ball games, tai chi can make me relaxed and help me get ready for the next class. " said Guo. 

"I really enjoy hip-hop dance, " Ren Jianning, a high school student, said, "The class doesn't need any experiences, so anyone can learn it. "Every class they practice a part of the dance and in the next class put the parts together in to a whole dance. "Our shirts are all wet after class even on the coldest days of winter. " said Ren.
