    茶香里的中国文化 - Chinese Culture in the Fragrance of Tea [HSK 5]

Do people in China still do that now? 刘娜: Tea culture is indeed the essence of Chinese tradition! Although young people drink coffee nowadays, tea remains the most important. Did you know there are six main types of Chinese tea? Green, black, oolong, white, dark, and yellow tea. 优子: So many types! Which kind does the Longjing tea I usually drink belong to? 刘娜: Longjing is green tea, and it’s also the most popular among Chinese people. Green tea is unfermented, keeping the natural aroma of the leaves. Tieguanyin, used in gongfu tea, is oolong, and Pu’er is dark tea—each has its unique charm. 优子: I noticed that when Chinese people pour tea for guests, they do it carefully, and sometimes they tap the table with their fingers. What does that mean? 刘娜: Tapping the table is a gesture of gratitude! It’s said that Emperor Qianlong once poured tea for his minister while traveling in disguise. The minister couldn’t kneel, so he tapped his fingers on the table to symbolize bowing. It has since become a polite gesture at the tea table. 优子: That’s so interesting! It seems tea is more than just a drink—it’s a way of cultural communication. 刘娜: Exactly! In China, offering tea shows respect and friendship. Teahouses are also important places for conversation and relaxation. A cup of tea carries thousands of years of cultural wisdom.

    血缘还是亲情？婚姻信任危机 - Blood Ties or Affection? A Marriage Trust Crisis [HSK 6]

    A man in Hebei discovered that the two children from his 22-year marriage were not biologically his, prompting public reflection on the nature of trust and family bonds.

Mr. Jiang from Shandong found out after 22 years of marriage that both children aren’t his. There’s a huge debate online. 陈花: I saw it too, and I feel really heavy-hearted. Isn’t trust the most important thing in marriage? This kind of blow is too cruel. 黄刚: Yeah. He publicly urged his elder son to take a paternity test, but the boy refused, saying, ‘If he doesn’t acknowledge me, I won’t acknowledge him.’ This actually reflects the conflict between blood ties and affection. 陈花: In traditional Chinese thinking, blood ties are the bond of family. But I think the feelings built over 22 years of living together are hard to erase. 黄刚: The problem is the wife’s infidelity, which betrayed the family. That not only destroyed the husband’s trust but can also harm the children’s growth. 陈花: Right. Parents are a child’s first teachers. Without an honest environment, children are easily influenced in negative ways. 黄刚: That’s why this incident sparked so much discussion. Some say family affection isn’t solely based on blood—it also depends on genuine companionship and responsibility. 陈花: This reminds me of a saying: ‘The grace of raising outweighs the bond of blood.’ But if loyalty and responsibility are lost, even deep feelings can collapse.

I just saw a news story about a blind PhD named Huang Ying. Her story really moved me. 刘娜: Yes. Although she can't see, she studies every day with screen-reading software and even helps her roommate organize study materials. She often brings meals from the cafeteria for her roommate too. 小潘: At first, I thought maybe her roommate was 'taking advantage' of her. But Huang Ying said she likes being treated as a normal person and said, 'I can do anything.' That really shocked me. 刘娜: Exactly, that’s the point. We shouldn’t look at blind people only through the lens of ‘disadvantage.’ In fact, many times, they just live in a different way. 小潘: I understand now—it’s not that they need special care from us, but that we should learn mutual understanding and respect. 刘娜: Well said. Huang Ying’s story reminds us that true inclusion is about ‘seeing’ everyone’s abilities, whether they can ‘see’ or not.

In the elevator there’s no 4th floor—it jumps from 3 to 5. Why is that? 刘娜: That’s very common in China! Because the pronunciation of 4 is similar to 'death' (死), people consider it unlucky, so many buildings avoid the number 4. 小潘: I see! Then why do I see so many shops using the number 8 in prices, like 88 yuan or 888 yuan? 刘娜: Because 8 sounds like 'fa' in 'facai' (发财, to get rich)! Chinese people believe 8 stands for wealth and good luck. For example, the 2008 Beijing Olympics opened on August 8. 小潘: Wow, even the Olympics chose that date! What about other numbers, like 6 and 9? 刘娜: 6 represents 'smooth going', and 9 represents 'long-lasting'. Online, young people say '666' to mean 'awesome', and '999' is often used to express lasting love. These cultural meanings come from similar pronunciations. 小潘: That’s so interesting! It seems learning Chinese means learning the culture behind the numbers too. 刘娜: Exactly! That’s the link between language and culture. Once you know this, you’ll understand why people care so much about number combinations in phone numbers and license plates.

Why is that? 小刚: Because from today, pure milk can no longer contain 'reconstituted milk'—it must be made only from fresh milk. 小宝: What is reconstituted milk? Is it fake milk? 小刚: Not fake, but milk that has been turned into powder and then mixed with water again. It loses some nutrients that way. 小宝: Oh, so it's like 'milk made from powder'! Will the milk taste better now? 小刚: Yes! The new rule says pure milk must use 100% raw milk, so it’s more nutritious and tastes purer. 小宝: What about yogurt? Can they still use reconstituted milk? 小刚: Yogurt and ice cream can, but it must be clearly labeled. Only pure milk must not use reconstituted milk at all.

Former US Ambassador to China, Burns, actually said they have long underestimated China's technological and military strength. 陈智高: Hmm, that’s not surprising. As the saying goes, 'You can’t see the true face of Mount Lu because you are in the mountain.' They often judge China from their own perspective, overlooking China’s persistence and resilience in long-term strategy. 王明月: He said he realized the true level of China's military only after seeing the PLA with his own eyes. This reminds me of the ancient saying, 'What you get from reading is shallow; true understanding comes from personal experience.' 陈智高: Good! The fact that you can connect to that quote shows you understand the importance of both observation and direct experience. Although the PLA hasn't fought a major war in a long time, its technology, training, and strategic planning have not stagnated. To dismiss it as 'forty years without war' is really shallow. 王明月: He also mentioned China's high-speed rail and education, especially the much higher proportion of STEM students compared to the US. It seems infrastructure and talent development are also parts of national strength. 陈智高: Exactly. In warfare, it’s not just about weapons, but also strategy and wisdom. Without a strong foundation in technology and education, military power is just a castle in the air. As the saying goes, 'If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools.' 王明月: But Master, I’m also thinking—now that Americans realize this, does it mean the international attitude toward China will become more complicated? 陈智高: You’re right. Acknowledging strength doesn’t mean goodwill. Throughout history, the strong are both respected and often contained. We must be cautious about the external environment, but even more, we must strive for self-improvement. Remember, the *I Ching* says: 'As heaven moves strongly, a gentleman should strive constantly for self-improvement.' 王明月: I understand now. How others evaluate us is just a mirror; what really matters is whether we keep making progress ourselves. 陈智高: Exactly. Whether others admit it or not, China’s development should be rooted in long-term strategy, with culture and technology as its wings. That’s the true path.

Isn't it more convenient for everyone to have their own napkin? 刘娜: It's related to their culture. People in Guangdong value frugality and like to share. Tearing napkins is actually a way of showing care for others. 小潘: Oh, I get it. So it's not just about saving paper, but also a friendly gesture. 刘娜: That's right. Nowadays, many young people also think it's environmentally friendly and meaningful. Such a small act actually shows great wisdom.
