China has a history of more than five thousand years, whose culture is various. Chinese people are so proud of their culture and many traditional arts are part of the national treasure, such as the festivals that contain the myths and the handwork. One of the special handwork products is paper-cut, which is now learned by less people.
中国有五千多年的历史，它的文化是具有多样性的。中国人都为他们的文化感到自豪。许多传统艺术是国家财富的一部分，比如那些有着神话色彩的节日和手工作品。其中一个特别的手工产品就是剪纸，现在掌握这门技术的人也越来越少了。
Paper-cut is an extraordinary art, which is using scissors to cut paper into graphics. This art just needs simple tool, but it is not easy at all. When we look at the masters to cut paper, it takes them only a few minutes to finish, in fact, for a freshman, they need to practise for a long time. This art has a long history. It reflects the wisdom of Chinese people.
剪纸艺术是一种很特别的艺术，是用剪刀把纸切成各种图形。这种艺术只需要简单的工具，但是做起来却是不容易的。我们看大师剪纸时只需要几分钟就可以完成了，事实上，对于一个新手来说，他们需要练习很长时间。这种历史悠久的艺术反映的是中国人的智慧。
My grandma inherits this art, and she can cut a lot of graphics. When I was very small, she tried to teach me this handwork, but I was addicted to playing computer games. Now I feel so regretful, because paper-cut is treasure, and many foreigners love it. But as a Chinese, I used to refuse it. The in-heritage of tradition needs everybody’s passion.
我奶奶继承了这门艺术，她可以把纸剪成各种各样的形状。在我很小的时候，她试图把这个手工技术教给我，但是我沉迷于玩电脑游戏。现在我后悔了，因为剪纸是就是个瑰宝，许多外国人都喜欢，但作为一个中国人，我曾经竟然拒绝它。对传统的继承需要每个人给予热情。

Since I was very small, my parents sent me to learn painting. They thought I could understand art and mastered one skill. This experience brings me the sense of art. I have my own understanding of it.
在我很小的时候，父母就送我去学习绘画，他们认为我可以因此掌握一门技术。这次经历给我带来了艺术感，我对艺术有了自己的理解。
On the one hand, art is an important way to express people's opinion. When we see the pictures, the difference between classical and ordinary paintings lies in the thoughts. The famous artists implant their ideas in the pictures, which are admitted by the public, so the value of arts can be seen. Some famous artists expressed their unique opinion and gives arts great meaning.
一方面，艺术是人们表达想法的重要方式。当我们看到这些画时，其实经典与普通绘画的区别在于思想。著名的艺术家们把他们的想法注入了画中，这是公众所认可的，所以艺术的价值是可以看到的。一些著名的艺术家表达了他们独特的观点，赋予了艺术很重要的意义。
On the other hand, art is not only from works, but also from life. For example, my mother cooks the delicious food. Everybody speaks highly of her. So her food brings people great happiness, which makes the food an art for me. What's more, my friends is good at communicating. The way she talks can convince other easily, so I call the way she communicates as an art.
另一方面，艺术不仅来自作品，也来自生活。比如，我妈妈做的食物很好吃，大家都对她赞不绝口，所以她的食物给人们带来了快乐，也让我觉得食物对我来说是一门艺术。更重要的是，我的朋友善于沟通交流。她的说话方式很容易说服别人，所以我把她的沟通方式叫做艺术。
In all, for me, art is around. It brings people a way to see the world or makes our life wonderful.
总之，对我来说，艺术是存在的，它可以给人们带来看待世界的另一种方式，或者让我们的生活变得精彩。

What is art? When people think about this question, they will naturally think about all kinds of musical instruments or the great paintings in the art museums. Art seems to so far away from the ordinary people, but I don’t think so. Art is everywhere. For example, the delicious food that is made by our parents is the great art, and the value of the food is to bring people the great joy when they have a taste of it. The scenery around us is the visible art, when we appreciate it, our mood become eased. Art is something that brings people the positive value for me, so art is around everybody. If we take time to slow down our pace, then we can enjoy art from life and feel the comfortable lifestyle.
什么是艺术？人们思考这个问题的时候，很自然会想到各种各样的乐器或者是在艺术博物馆里伟大的绘画。艺术似乎离普通人很远，但我不这么认为，我觉得艺术无处不在。例如，我们父母制作的美味食物也是伟大的艺术，食物的价值在于品尝时人们感到的愉悦。我们周围的风景是可见的艺术，当我们欣赏它的时候，心情就会变得放松。对我来说艺术是让人们产生积极的意义，所以艺术是在我们身边。如果我们花时间，放慢速度，就可以从生活上享受艺术，感受到舒适的生活方式。

My Thoughts on the University Arts Festival

For our university's arts festival, I think that the university should hold open competitions and auditions for anyone who wants to take part in the festival's exhibitions and performances. This would not only increase general interest in and appreciation for the arts, but would also be a good way for our university to show its support for the arts.

This arts festival is an excellent opportunity to remind everyone that arts are important for everyone to appreciate and take part in, regardless of major.

I think that there should be general, open auditions and competitions in all the major arts. There should be categories for painting and sculpture; classical, folk and modem dance; and instrumental and choral groups, both large and small. The judges should be joint committees made up of both faculty and Students, both experts in the field and novices. Arranging the festival in this way will, I believe, give our student body a greater enjoyment of the arts, a break from studies and a fuller appreciation for what it means to be human.

Early in the morning, I saw there were so many people coming to the campus, making the campus so lively. The students dressed so well and gave the warm welcome to the guests. I walked around and appreciated the painting, every work was drawn by the students, I was so impressed by these works. There were also some handworks, which were so creative, it reflected the students’ wisdom. Though we were busy with our subjects most of the time, some students still kept on their hobbies and made it their talent. I should learn from them and develop some interest.
这个周末,我们学校有一个艺术节,已经举办了五年,学校坚持举办，让它成为特色。我是如此兴奋,这对我来说是第一次加入。清晨,我看到有许多人来到校园,让校园变得热闹起来。学生们盛装打扮,给客人们以最热烈的欢迎。我走来走去,欣赏画作,每一幅画都是由学生制作,这些作品,给我留下了非常深刻的印象。也有一些手工,很有创意,它反映了学生的智慧。尽管我们大部分时间都在忙于学习,但是一些学生仍然继续他们的爱好,使之成为他们的才华。我应该向他们学习，发展一些兴趣爱好。

One of the best ways to convey exactly how you feel about someone is through written words. Finding the perfect way to say what you mean — when it comes to love — can be a challenging task for anyone. So, we’ve gathered some helpful tips. Go ahead; spill your heart onto a piece of paper. Whether through a one-line sentiment, a poem, or some prose — let them know how you feel!

Tips for writing your own love letters

Make it personal. Writing a love letter is a dying art. So if you’re going to say it — mean it! Express your gratitude for the person being in your life.

Include any special nicknames that the two of you share.

Be specific. What are the things that he/she does to make you starry-eyed? Is it the way he gets a little teary at a sad movie? Is it the way she can’t wake up without her green tea?

Include memories of specific times you spent together. Let him/her know what they meant to you and why.

Whether you’re sending it by mail or delivering it to them personally, hand-write it. Typed letters are sterile. If you’re even thinking about e-mail, then do something creative like designing a personalized “home page” love letter. You can get free templates at Colleges.com.

Love quotes

People have been writing about love for centuries. Love quotes can capture exactly how you feel about your sweet in just a few words. Make up your own, or borrow a few of these to add to your letter.

“Those who love deeply never grow old.”

“Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same direction.” (Antoine de Saint-Exupery)

“For an instant, love can transform the world.”

“It’s not being in love that makes me happy. It’s being in love with YOU that makes me happy.”

“If there is anything better than to be loved, it is loving.”

“Did I tell you today how much I love you?”

Creative expression

Think a letter is too boring? Here are 10 ways to get your message across and have it remembered.

1. Write your message in magnetic letters on their refrigerator.

2. Create a Letter Hunt.

Leave a note on his/her computer telling him/her you have written him/her a love letter, but it has to be found. Give a clue. Clue to clue to clue. Make your lover search for the prize.

3. Send your love roses according to how many letters he/she has in their name.

On each flower, attach a note that uses the letters of their name, as the first letter of the message. For example: “Sean.” The first rose could say, “Sometimes I get starry-eyed when I look at you.” The second, “Everything you do makes me happy.” And so on.

在平时的.学习、工作或生活中，大家总少不了接触作文吧，作文是经过人的思想考虑和语言组织，通过文字来表达一个主题意义的记叙方法。那么你知道一篇好的作文该怎么写吗？下面是小编精心整理的The art of Chinese cooking作文800字，仅供参考，欢迎大家阅读。

China is a country where the preparation and appreciation of food has been developed to the highest level. The art of Chinese cooking has been developed and refined over many centuries. Emperor Fuxi taught people to fish, hunt, grow crops and to cook twenty centuries before Christ. However, cooking could not be considered an art until the Chou Dynasty.The two dominant philosophies of the Chinese culture are Confucianism and Taoism. Each influenced the course of Chinese history and the development of the culinary arts. Confucianism concerned itself with the art of cooking and placed great emphasis on the enjoyment of life. To the Chinese, food and friends are inseparable. A gathering without food is considered inplete and improper.

Confucius loved and respected the art of cooking. He established culinary standards and proper table etiquette. Most of these are still considered to be the standards even today. The tradition of cutting foods into bite size pieces during preparation is unique to the Chinese culture. The use of knives at a Chinese dinner is considerd poor taste. Confucius taught that good cooking depends on the blending of various ingredients and condiments rather than the taste of the individual elements. He believed that in order to bee a good cook one must first be a good matchmaker. The flavors of the ingredients must be blended with harmony. Without harmony there is no taste. He also stressed the use of color and texture in preparing the dish. Most certainly Confucianism helped elevate cooking from a menial task to the status of an art, "the art of Chinese cooking." Taoism was responsible for the development of the hygienic aspects of food and cooking. The principle objectives of this philosophy were people's wish for longevity. In contrast to supporters of Confucianism who were interested in the taste, texture and appearance, Taoists were concerned with the life-giving attributes of various foods. Over the centuries the Chinese have explored the world of plants, roots, herbs, fungus and seeds to find life-giving elements. They discovered that the nutritional value of vegetables could be destroyed by improper cooking and that many items had medicinal value. For example, ginger, a favorite condiment, is also used to soothe an upset stomach and as a cold remedy.
