After four months of digging, the Ningbo Cultural Heritage Research Institute shared what they found at the Malangxia site (马廊厦遗址) on August 29. The exciting discovery in Yuyao, Zhejiang Province, China, has helped us learn more about how people lived and how society changed over a very long time.
The site is 2,000 m2 big, and 102 things were found like ash pits (坑), houses, tombs (坟墓), and roads. They were made in the middle and lower parts of the Changjiang River area. Imagine digging up layers (层) of history like layers of cake! The Malangxia Site has five different layers, and each one is like a different chapter in a book, telling us about a different time period.
The first layer is from the Shang-Zhou dynasties, and we found a special tomb. As we move up to the next layer. Here, we found lots of cool things like houses, pits, tombs, and roads. They are like photos that record the life at that time. The third isn't as full as the others. We only found one tomb. But the fourth layer has a lot of findings, with pits, tombs and holes. These things show us how art styles from the north and south of China mixed together.
Local experts say that the Malangxia Site is the biggest and best-kept archaeological (考古的) site in Yuyao so far. It's like a treasure box full of history that helps us understand how society changed over thousands of years. It's amazing to think that just by digging, we can learn so much about people who lived long ago!
Long time ago, children didn't have smart phones, iPads or computers to play with. However, they thought of interesting games to play. Let's take a look.
Flying kites Kites have quite a long history. The earliest kites weren't made of paper, but wood. Nowadays, the three most famous kites are the Beijing kite, the Tianjin kite and the Weifang kite. The swallow-shaped kite is a well-known Beijing style. ____ Playing a stone ball game around was a welcome sport in old China, and people often played the game in winter to keep warm. Stones were like small balls and played with feet. Watching shadow plays The closest thing to watching a movie for fun during old times was to see a shadow play (影子戏) . People use puppets (玩偶) behind the screen, telling stories with music. |
After a long day's study at school, you are very tired. So after school you go home to relax. When you get home, a robot welcomes you. He's happy to see you and helps you take your school things to your room. He listens to you talk about your school life and tells you a new joke. And he tells you to call your cousin and to say happy birthday. And then he helps you with your homework.
This is your future, and the robot's name is NAO. NAO has a small body, big eyes and a large head. He can walk and dance. He listens and talks, and he even learns and thinks for himself. His creators predict that the robot will be in people's homes before 2040. This $16, 000 robot knows who you are.
NAO can even express emotions(表达情感). He is a self-guided robot. A self-guided robot can sense(感觉), think and act. Other robots might do two out of the three. For example, a robot might sense things using cameras and think using computers, but with no arms, he can't act. Another robot can move and sense things, but he can't think for himself. These aren't self-guided robots. But NAO can do them all.
