Today, I read some exciting news about the Chu Silk Manuscript. Two volumes(册) of it returned home from the United States and 1. in Beijing.
Why is this manuscript so special? It's one of the 2. kinds of classical texts found in China. It dates back to the Warring States period. Many people are happy about 3. return. One of them wrote online, "As we become more 4., other countries are showing more respect."
The manuscript was divided into three 5.. The two returned volumes were housed in the US National Museum of Asian Art. Volume I is still in private hands in the US. I really hope that it will be returned soon so that the manuscript can be completed.
The manuscript has had a rather 6. journey. It was discovered in a tomb(墓) in 1942. At first, it fell into the hands of a Chinese collector. Four years later, an American collector named John Hadley Cox took it to the US. No one knew how Cox had gotten it. After 7. America, it passed through some more hands. In 1992, the other two volumes were gifted to the US National Museum of Asian Art in Washington, D.C. After nearly 80 years abroad, now they have 8. returned to China.

Reading news helps us learn about exciting things, like a sports team's win or a new science discovery. But it also brings bad news, such as natural disasters or fights between countries.1. So how should we deal with news? Here is a simple guide to handling news wisely.
Check your sources(来源). Some people just rely on one favorite source, such as websites, newspapers, magazines, or TV.2. Also, take time to compare reports from different sources. This can help you avoid one-sided ideas and give you a more complete picture of an event.
Keep it balanced. People often focus more on bad news than good news. This is called negativity bias(消极偏好). To fix this, mix bad news with good news when you read.3. For example, you can go for a walk in nature, meet friends, or talk to an adult about your feelings after seeing upsetting news.
Find the good. There are always good things happening in the world, even when bad news seems to be everywhere. Scientists work hard to treat diseases.4. Look out for these warm stories and share them with friends and your family.
5. If a problem worries you, don't feel stuck or upset for too long. There are ways to help solve the problem, through small donations(捐款) or simple volunteer work. You can do these small acts in your free time. These acts also allow you to bring good news to others.

Do you know bookmarks? Would you like to use them when you read books? With the development of society, this object has gradually gone out of sight. However, traditional Chinese bookmarks have a long history in Chinese culture. People still love them today because they are useful for marking their place in a book and carry beautiful cultural meanings.
The history of Chinese bookmarks dates back to ancient times. During the Han Dynasty, the earliest bookmarks were mostly made of bamboo or wood, which were very easy to get from nature. They were also simple in shape and they were used to mark where people stopped reading. By the Tang and Song Dynasties, the skills of making bookmarks became better. More materials could be used, such as ivory(象牙) and jade(玉), and some bookmarks were carved(雕刻) with simple patterns. They had much more artistic value and beauty.
There were small differences in the use of bookmarks between scholars and common people. For scholars, bookmarks were often made of excellent materials like bamboo or jade, and were sometimes carved with famous poems to show their good taste. For common people, they used practical ones made of materials that were less expensive, such as paper or wood.
Traditional bookmarks have different kinds of patterns, each of which has a special meaning. Patterns of pine trees and cranes(鹤) stand for long life, while patterns of lotus(荷花) flowers mean purity(纯洁). Over thousands of years, traditional bookmarks have become an important part of Chinese reading culture, and they have been liked by people from all over the world.
Although modern bookmarks are quite different, traditional ones are still cherished(珍视). Today, they are not only used for reading but also regarded as small works of art and cultural gifts. They show that the love for reading and beautiful things is a long-lasting tradition in Chinese culture.

In Anyue, Sichuan, there are 100,000 cliff carvings(摩崖石刻) with a history of 1,000 years, which are now meeting modern technology. This mix of past and present is bringing new life to these cultural treasures.
Before, people had to travel far into the countryside to see these carvings, and only a few people could enjoy their beauty because of the remote(遥远的) location. Today, a large digital exhibition(数字展览) center allows visitors to experience them easily. Inside the center, technologies like gesture(手势) sensing and AI make the age-old grottoes(石窟) and wall paintings come alive. This makes visitors feel like they are walking among the real ancient carvings.
The Anyue Grottoes Digital Exhibition Center opened in May 2025. It has already attracted more than 150,000 visitors—with daily visits reaching 3,000 during the 2025 summer holiday period.
Anyue's landscape of hills and its soft sandstone make it a perfect place for large carvings. There are nearly 500 grotto sites with over 100,000 carvings here. That's why the Anyue grottoes are considered very important examples of Chinese grotto art. However, these grottoes face some problems. Made of soft sandstone, they are in danger from water and wet weather. Many are in the countryside and hills, making daily protection work difficult.
In 2018, Anyue made a local rule to protect the grottoes. It has worked with some famous universities to study and protect the sites better, using professional(专业的) knowledge to find the best ways to keep the carvings safe. Anyue has promised to continue working hard to protect this cultural heritage.
By the end of 2025, Anyue had already made a mini-program to show its digital work. It lets people explore these stone carvings up close, even if they are far away and cannot visit them in person.
