　　Protect Traditional Chinese Culture

　　The protection of national and folk culture is of great significance to Chinese cultural diversity and also to the harmonious development between local economic and social development. It is reported that the Guangdong government pays special attention to protecting Chaoju(潮剧)， a local drama born in Chaozhou in the eastern Guangdong province.

　　In my opinion， some measures should be taken to protect traditional culture effectively. To start with， we should make a law to regulate the society’s performance. Besides， we should draw more people’s attention to it， for the more they know about the importance of culture protection， the stronger support we can get from the public.

　　In a word， it is high time for us to treasure and develop our own valuable culture.

　　【参考范文1】

　　Hi， Tony！

　　I’m glad that you will come to Beijing soon. There are lots of places of interest in Beijing. In order to experience traditional Chinese culture better， I do recommend Beijing Hutong tour.

　　First， we’re going to go sightseeing along the lanes in Hutong. The houses in Hutong are traditional， such as Siheyuan. From them， you can imagine how people used to live. Of course you can stop anywhere you like and it is interesting to take pictures or have a close look. Second， we are going to pay visits to a Hutong family. We can have lunch there and have a short talk with the local residents， which can help you learn about many stories of the past. We can not only appreciate the dramatic changes that Hutong has undergone， but also see evidence of the history of Beijing， experience the old way of life and experience traditional Beijing culture.

　　In a word， Hutongs are the homes of common people in the past. It is easy to know how people lived and had fun in the old days. So it is a good choice to learn about traditional Chinese culture.

　　I’mlooking forward to your coming.

　　Yours，

　　Li Hua

　　Hi， Tony！

　　I’m glad that you will come to Beijing soon. There are many places of interest where you can experience the traditional Chinese culture in Beijing， but I’d like to take you to Nanluoguxiang.

　　First， we can take a walk along the lanes in Hutong to feel the architectural style of the old buildings like Siheyuan and local people’s way of life. Besides， you can have a talk with the residents to know more about the history about Hutong. What’s more， we can try all kinds of local foods on the way. And you can buy some paper cuttings as gifts for your friends. When we feel tired， it’s a good choice for us to go to a tea house. There， we can taste all kinds of Chinese tea and get a lot of knowledge about tea. Most importantly， we can watch Peking Opera while drinking tea， which is a typical art to reflect Beijing humanities features.

　　As for the reason why we go there， I think it can make you better experience traditional Chinese tea culture， the food culture and the characteristics of the old residence in Beijing.

　　I’m looking forward to your coming.

　　Yours，

　　Li Hua

　　Hi！ Tom，

　　I’m glad to hear that you are interested in traditional Chinese festivals.

　　My favorite festival is the Mid-Autumn Festival. It usually comes in September or October. On that day， our family members usually get together and have a nice meal. After that， I always admire the moon and share mooncakes with my families.

　　I love this festival because I like eating mooncakes. They are in the shape of a full moon. They carry people’s wishes to the families they love and miss. In short， the Mid-Autumn Festival is a day of pleasure and happiness. I hope that my letter will help you know more about Chinese festivals.

　　Yours，

　　Li Hua

　　Hi！ Tom，

　　My favorite Chinese festival is the Spring Festival which comes on the first day of the Chinese Lunar Year. There is a name for each year， such as the dog， the monkey， the tiger or one of the twelve animals， and this year is the year of the horse.

　　Before the New Year’s Day， the Chinese people usually give their houses a good cleaning and on the last evening of the old year， all the members of a family will get together and have a big meal. People usually have jiaozi， fish， niangao and many other dishes. On the first or second day of the new year， people usually go to visit their relatives and friends and give some lucky money to children.

　　Among all the festivals， I like the Spring Festival best not only because I can enjoy delicious food， but also because I can relax myself by spending a few days with my family， my relatives and my friends.

　　Yours，

　　Li Hua
