Look at the boy. He is Tian Zheng, a middle school student from the ancient town of Qingzhou in Shandong. Here is his story of practicing the lion dance, a traditional art in China.
Tian enjoys practicing the lion dance in his free time. His lion dance teacher is Li Hongxin, an excellent lion dancer. “The lion dance has a long history in China,” Mr. Li says. “I hope more young people can learn it, so I give the lion dance class to them.”
Now there are about thirty boys and girls in Mr. Li’s class. They take the lion dance class on Wednesday afternoon. On weekends, they also have the class and practice the lion dance.
Tian Zheng is one of the students in this class. “The lion dance is cool,” Tian says. “But it is not easy to be a good lion dancer. Look at my lion head. It’s about 10 kg. It’s hard for a young boy to lift it.” However, after two years of learning, Tian is a great lion dancer now. He not only learns a traditional art but also becomes healthy and brave.

Walking in the street, we can see colorful clothes here and there. We can buy colorful clothes easily today. But how about people in old times?
Tie-dye (扎染) is a very old way of dyeing clothes in China. It has a history of over 1,500 years. In the old days, the Bai ethnic (民族的) people living at the foot of Cangshan Mountain in Yunnan used tie-dye to color their clothes. In 2006, the tie-dye skill became China’s national intangible cultural heritage (国家级非物质文化遗产).
Tie-dye is very interesting. First, we need a piece of cloth. Then we tie the cloth into different shapes. These tied parts will stop the dye (染料) from getting in, so when we put the cloth into the dye bath, the tied parts will stay the original (原有的) color, and the rest parts will be dyed (染) with beautiful colors. When we open out the cloth, we’ll see amazing patterns (图案) and colors on it. There are so many colors we can use in tie-dye, like bright blue, orange, pink and so on.
Yang Cheng is one of the most famous tie-dye artists. He learned tie-dye from his mother in the 1980s and now he is teaching his daughter this skill. He said tie-dye was not only a way to make amazing clothes, but also an important part of Chinese art. “We should be proud of it and try to learn it and pass it on,” once he said to a reporter.
