A Chinese Traditional Art — the Shadow Puppet Play
shadow puppet play
The Chinese shadow puppet play is an old art. It is usually played by five people. One moves the puppets, one sings and the other three people play music.
It's said that it appeared in China over 2,000 years ago during the Han Dynasty ( 朝代). After the wife of the Emperor (皇帝) Han Wudi died of illness, the emperor was very sad. One day, a man called Li Shaoweng saw children playing with dolls and the shadows of the dolls were dancing on the wall. So he came up with an idea to help Han Wudi. He went back home and made a puppet of the emperor's wife He put sticks on the puppet's hands and feet to make it easy to move.
When night came, he put up a cloth, lit (点燃) a candle (蜡烛) and invited the emperor to sit before the cloth. Li Shaoweng moved the puppet behind the cloth. The emperor felt like he was seeing his wife again and was very happy. After that the shadow puppet play became the emperor's favorite hobby.
Thousands of years have passed, but the shadow puppet play is still popular. And it is loved by more and more people all over the world.

Do you think you have a good memory (记忆)? It is difficult to say exactly what memory is. Even scientists who have been studying memory for many years say that they are still trying to find out what it is. We do know that a specific memory is not just one thing stored (存储) somewhere in the brain (大脑). A memory is made up of small pieces of information stored all over the brain.
The human brain is very small and light (only 2% of total body weight). But it needs about 20% of the oxygen (氧气) that our body takes in. We can't think well if our brain isn't getting enough oxygen, so always make sure there is enough oxygen in the air when you need to learn or remember something!
Why do you forget things sometimes? The main reason for forgetting something is that you did not learn it well enough in the beginning. For example, if you meet some new people and right away forget their names, it is because you didn't record (记录) the names when you heard them.
No one can remember everything, but everyone can learn how to improve their memory. Here are some ways:
●When you want to remember something, tell a friend about it. This way the new information becomes more memorable. Later on, think about the conversation with your friend. It will help you remember the information.
●Don't over-train your brain. When you've remembered a list of new vocabulary, stop studying. It's better to study a lot of material (材料) for a short time than a small part of material for a lot of time! But remember: you do have to practise your new vocabulary as soon as possible!
●If you have to remember something big, break it down into smaller parts. It's easier to remember 198756430387 if you break it into four smaller bits: 198-756-430-387.
●If you want to remember a piece of information, and you can't. Don't get angry. Relax when you study! Try to enjoy yourself. You are learning new things every minute. You will remember better if you are happy and relaxed.
In short, none of (没有一个) the ways can make your memory 100% perfect, but all of them are helpful.
