Clothing is an important part of any culture. Chinese culture is more than 5,000 years old so the traditional Chinese clothing also has a long history.
Hanfu
Hanfu is the traditional clothing of the Han people. It first appeared in China more than 3,000 years ago. But it disappeared with the beginning of the Qing Dynasty (朝代). Now more and more young people start to enjoy wearing it.
Zhongshan suit
Zhongshan suit is the traditional Chinese clothing named after Sun Yat-sen. It is also famous as Mao suit oversea (在海外) because Chairman Mao liked to wear it. It first appeared in the 1920s.
Tangzhuang
Tangzhuang is a kind of Chinese jacket but not the clothing of the Tang Dynasty. It got the name from overseas Chinese. The Tang Dynasty was famous in the world, so the overseas Chinese were called (被叫作) "Tang people" and their clothes were called "Tangzhuang".
Cheongsam(qipao)
The cheongsam (qipao) is a traditional Chinese dress. It first appeared in China in the 1920s. Cheongsa m is made of silk, and Chinese women like to wear it because it can show their beauty.
Do you like living in a city? Look at the good sides. It is often easier to find work. And there is usually a choice (选择) of public transport (公共交通), so you don't need to own a car. Also, there are a lot of interesting things to do. For example, you can eat in good restaurants, pay a visit to museums and go to the theater and concert. What's more, when you want to relax, you can easily find a park to feed the ducks or just sit on the park bench and read a book. All in all, city life is full of interesting activities and you will never feel bored.
However, living in a city also has bad sides. For one thing, you must work hard and try to make as much money as you can. Because it is often very expensive to live in a city. Also, public transport is usually crowded, and even the parks can become full of people on Sundays. Besides, although there are many people in the city, it is still possible to feel lonely (孤独的).
I think young people like city life better because they love the excitement of the city and don't. mind the noise or the pollution.

Children love the Spring Festival because they can get gift money. But how do the children spend the gift money? Let's see.
Song Qian, 14
In my family, I can decide how to use my gift money myself. I got 3,600 yuanlast year. I used the money to buy some books and school things. 4 这些钱对于我的课后活动也是有用的。
Zhang Ping, 13
During Spring Festival, I got over 2,000 yuan. I can decide how to spend the money. I chose to put all of it in the bank. 5 I hope to use it if I have a chance to study in other countries in the future. I know studying in other countries is expensive.
Li Lei, 12
The money I got last year was over 1,000 yuan. It was really hard for my parents to make money and they also gave gift money to my cousins, so I gave most of my gift money to my parents. Of course, I still had some money for myself. I bought something I needed and some gifts for my parents on their birthdays.
Li Ai, 14
I can use part of my gift money. This year, my parents helped me to save 1,800 yuanin the bank and left 1,000 yuanfor me. I spent 465 yuanon 8 books and I also bought Taylor Swift's new vinyl record (黑胶唱片) of Midnights in October for 337 yuanbecause she is one of my favorite singers.
