    秋分里的养生智慧 - Wellness Wisdom at the Autumn Equinox [HSK 5]

    During the autumn equinox, day and night are equal. Traditional Chinese medicine promotes moistening dryness, maintaining balance, and harmonizing yin and yang.

The autumn equinox means the day and night are equally long. After this, the weather will gradually get cooler. 陈花: Yes, I also read in the newspaper that during the autumn equinox you should pay attention to wellness, especially moistening dryness. But I'm not really sure what to do specifically. 黄刚: Traditional Chinese medicine values 'conservation.' After the equinox, yang energy starts to withdraw, so you should eat less spicy and fried food and more foods that moisten the lungs, like pears, white fungus, and Chinese yam. 陈花: I see, no wonder my throat has felt dry lately. Would drinking autumn pear syrup help? 黄刚: Yes, and lily bulb soup or white fungus dessert are also good. You should also pay attention to exercise—tai chi or walking are suitable, but don't work up a heavy sweat. 陈花: What about dry skin? Lately my skin feels itchy after I shower. 黄刚: Don't use water that's too hot, and apply moisturizer after washing. Chinese medicine also recommends soaking mulberries in water to drink, which nourishes yin and blood and is good for the skin. 陈花: That sounds really practical. I also feel that it's easy to get a little down in autumn. Maybe I should go out and get more sun, and chat with friends. 黄刚: Exactly. At the autumn equinox, you should take care of your mood as well as your body. Stay positive, and winter will be much more comfortable.

That looks so fun! Aren't highways only for driving? 小刚: Yes, Xiaobao. Because the National Day holiday traffic jam was so serious, people got out of their cars to find ways to kill time. 小宝: There was even an uncle who took out a fishing rod and caught a big fish in just three minutes! Did he really fish on the highway? 小刚: Yes, he was very lucky. There happened to be a river under that spot, so he tried, and he caught a fish right away. 小宝: Wow! It's like the highway traffic jam turned into an amusement park. 小刚: Haha, you could say that. But actually, traffic jams make people very anxious. Being able to entertain themselves like this is a way of 'finding joy in hardship.' 小宝: Yeah, that way time passes faster and everyone feels more relaxed.

Ten thousand peace doves were released at Tiananmen Square. 小潘: I saw it! So many doves flying together—the scene was beautiful. But, Teacher, how can they find their way home? 刘娜: That's the special ability of homing pigeons. They can remember directions and their home, and they use the position of the sun, just like little compasses. 小潘: I see! I thought they might get lost. I heard they all returned within fifteen minutes, is that true? 刘娜: Yes, most of the doves quickly flew back to their lofts. Actually, they had already been trained many times before the event. 小潘: I find it really touching. Peace doves aren't just animals; they're also a symbol, reminding us to cherish peace. 刘娜: Well said. Each little dove is like a flying poem, connecting people's feelings to the country.

How do Chinese people usually celebrate it? 刘娜: The Mid-Autumn Festival is on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month. Its most important meaning is reunion. People gather to admire the moon and eat mooncakes. 小潘: Oh, I’ve had mooncakes before, with red bean paste and salted egg yolk inside. They’re delicious! Why do people eat mooncakes? 刘娜: Because mooncakes are round, like the moon, symbolizing family reunion. 小潘: I’ve heard there’s also the story of Chang’e flying to the moon, is that right? 刘娜: Yes, and also legends like the Jade Rabbit pounding medicine and Wu Gang cutting the osmanthus tree. These stories make the Mid-Autumn Festival more romantic. 小潘: That’s so interesting. This year I also want to admire the moon with my classmates and experience the festival.

It's so funny! Is this what people call 'creative mooncakes'? 刘娜: Yes! Nowadays, young people like to use molds to shape bread, steamed buns, and even desserts into mooncake forms. It's simple and fun. 优子: But can those still be called mooncakes? The taste is totally different. 刘娜: Actually, what matters more to them is the 'round shape,' because a circle represents reunion. As long as it has that shape, it gives a sense of the Mid-Autumn Festival ritual. 优子: I see! That reminds me—sometimes in Japan, we also use new ways to celebrate traditional festivals. 刘娜: Exactly. Tradition doesn’t have to be old-fashioned. Young people's creativity brings vitality to festivals and encourages more people to join in. 优子: I think it’s adorable! Next time I want to try making mine with purple sweet potato or cheese—it’ll be healthy and unique. 刘娜: Great idea! Whether it’s a traditional or creative mooncake, they both express the same wish—for family reunion and happiness.

    民办本科招生遇冷 - Private Undergraduate Enrollment Cools Down [HSK 6]

    Many private undergraduate colleges remain unfilled after multiple rounds of recruitment, and experts call for reform in school-running approaches.

Many private universities still haven’t filled their spots even after three or four rounds of recruitment. 黄刚: Yes, I saw. For example, Zhanjiang University of Science and Technology still had more than 2,900 vacancies after the third round. 陈花: Is this because the tuition is too expensive? I heard it can cost twenty to thirty thousand yuan a year, or even more. 黄刚: Yes, the fees are one factor. In addition, the teaching quality varies a lot, and employment prospects are not good, so students and parents would rather choose vocational colleges or repeat a year. 陈花: No wonder some parents say they are 'voting with their feet' by simply not choosing private universities. 黄刚: Exactly. Actually, not just undergraduates — private middle schools and high schools also face difficulties in enrollment. The external environment and economic pressure make parents more cautious. 陈花: But I saw that some newly established universities, like Fuyao University of Science and Technology and Westlake University, have very high admission scores and are quite popular. 黄刚: That’s because they have heavy investment and high teaching standards, which are not at the same level as ordinary private colleges. Experts also remind us that traditional private undergraduates must transform and take a specialized path. 陈花: It sounds like education in the future will become more diverse. We can’t just focus on degrees; we also need to consider children’s potential and career directions. 黄刚: That’s right. Breaking degree obsession and focusing on students’ development is the long-term way of running schools.
