Answer

Dear editor,

Learning that your newspaper will carry articles about Chinese traditional culture, I’m pleased to share my ideas.

From my perspective, there is no doubt that Chinese traditional culture is the carrier of Chinese history and the precious gift from the past. As for the most representative symbol, I strongly support Confucius. As a philosopher, Confucius has been influencing Chinese people since ancient times. Nowadays we can find lots of Confucius institutes around the world, which provide platforms for the foreigners to learn about Chinese culture. To preserve Chinese traditional culture, the government should strengthen regulation to protect it, and it is our responsibility to be a good steward. What’s more, providing various cultural exchange activities will have a far-reaching impact.

Feel free to ask me if you have any other questions.

Yours,

Li Hua

Knowing that your newspaper will carry articles about Chinese traditional culture, I am pleased to share my opinion.

In my opinion, there is no doubt that Chinese traditional culture is the carrier of Chinese history and the precious gift from the past.

As for the most representative symbol, I strongly support paper-cutting.

As a traditional culture form, paper-cutting has been influencing Chinese people for ages.

Paper-cutting has many images, including things ranging from birds in the sky to fish in water, which provide platforms for the foreigners to learn about Chinese culture.

But nowadays, we can’t see many paper-cuttings.

To preserve Chinese traditional culture, the government should strengthen regulation to protect it, and we also should take our own responsibility.

What’s more, we should call on the youth to learn this form of art.
