Chinese fancy knots(中国结), also called Chinese knots, are very important in Chinese culture. They began as a form of traditional art in the Tang and Song Dynasties(朝代) in China, and became popular in the Ming Dynasty. Long ago, they found their way to Japan and other Southeast Asian countries, and were well received there. Now they are regarded as one of the symbols of Chinese culture.
As for the name itself, it is surely meaningful. The Chinese word for "knot", jie, means "connection". And the pronunciation of the Chinese word jie is very close to that of ji, "good luck". As a result, Chinese knots are used as a way to express people's strong wishes for marvellous things like happiness, love and good luck.
The knots are used widely in everyday life. They come in different sizes. Small ones are connected to jewellery(珠宝), clothes and gifts in order to draw people's attention, while large ones are used to make a living room or study more beautiful. Whether large or small, they are named after their shapes and usages. For example, Double Coin Knots are called Shuangqian Jie because they are in the shape of two ancient Chinese coins and meaning "good things come in pairs". Besides, Chinese knots are famous for their bright colors. Different colors have different traditional cultural meanings. Red means good luck and happiness, green means health, and yellow means wealth.
All in all, the famous Chinese fancy knots fully show the Chinese culture. These brightly colored knots with their endless chains(链条) of knots, mean that life on earth will continue forever.

Have you heard of any volunteer activities like planting trees, cleaning up the community, looking after the old people? But do you know what is volunteer travel? It is a new and popular volunteer activity among young people. The main purpose of volunteer travel is to take part in service activities to help others. During the trip, volunteer travelers often provide services like teaching, cooking, animal caring, and cultural activities. The volunteers may get free or cheaper accommodation(住处) and meals because of their help. It seems that these long journeys could only be made possible in recent years by modern transport. However, volunteer travel started in the 1960s, when Alec Dickson and his wife Mora from the UK founded Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO), an international volunteer organization. Traditionally, the volunteer activities take place in a foreign country. But so far, more volunteer trips have taken place within the volunteers' own countries. Volunteer projects in the countryside are now attracting more visitors living in the cities. By doing voluntary work while traveling, travelers may make a real and positive influence on the world. The services volunteers provide can reduce the costs for the communities they serve. Another advantage of volunteer travel is that it helps people living in cities experience the life in the countryside. For those who are tired of city life but can't move to the countryside, volunteer travel can be a way. In this way, travelers can relax themselves from their busy lives. |
