号? Jintiãn shì fí yuè jì' hào? or more formally say 今天是几月几日? Jintiãn shì jì' yuè fí rì?
To answer, replace the question word 几 fí with the number of the day and month. As 今天
Jintìãn is the subject of the sentence, it ìs placed at the beginning. The Chinese like to use the
concept of bìg to small. Dates begin with the year, followed by the month and fmally the day.
In spoken Chinese, the verb 是 shì is often omitted, but can be used for emphasís.

今天是几号? 今天是二十五号。
今天几号? 今天十九号 。
今天是几月几号? 今天是三月七号 。
今天几月几号? 十一月四号。
今天是几月几日? 今天是六月十八日。

To ask about yesterday's or tomorrow's date, replace 今天 jintiãn with 昨 天 zuótiãn or 明天
míngtiãn. In Chinese, as tense is shown by the tìme stated, i.e. yesterday or tomorrow, the verb
does not change for future or past tense.

昨天是几月几号? 昨天是丸月四号 。
前天是几月几号? 前天是九月三号。
明天是几月几号? 明天是九月六号。

合 Chinese calendar

Since the establishment of the republic in 1912, the solar calendar has been adopted as 由e
official calendar and all official events and holidays are practised accordingly. However, the
traditionallunar calendar, also called the agricultural calendar, is still used especially in rural
缸eas. 白le lunar calendar ìs calculated according to 由e phases of the moon. A lunar rnonth is
也e interva1 between new moons with a cycle of 29 or 30 days. There are 121unar rnonths in
a year wi由 13 months around every four ye缸s.

The calendar used today ìn China and Taiwan has the lunar date in srnall print beside the
solar date. wi也 some agricultural hints and weather indications. The current 1unar month is
printed on 出e frrst day of the month. The lunar dates frorn the frrst day to 由e 10th day have
the word chü 手万" which means begìnning, placed before the number. From the 21st day to 由e
29th day, the symbol廿 ， which is read as èrs时， is used instead of 二十 .

命 Traditional festivals

Although the solar ca1endar has been adopted as the officia1 calendar, most Chinese
traditional festiva1s are ce1ebrated in accordance with the 1unar ca1endar. The three most
important festìvals celebrated are the Spring Festiva1, the Dragon Boat Festiv争1 and the Mid-
Autumn Festival. Christmas and Easter are not wide1y obse凹ed except by sorne Christians.

1. Spring Festival, chúnjié 春节 ， flfSt day of the frrst lunar montb

Chúnjié 春节 ， traditionally called
dànián 大年 or guònián 过年， is the
rnost important and popu1ar festival to
the Chinese. During chOnji 台， northem
Chinese eat ji益。zì 饺子 (dump1ing) and
southern Chìnese eat niángão 年 糕
(sweet cake) to ce1ebrate the festival.
Words of blessing are written on red
paper, called chünlián 春联， and
pasted on the door for good luck.
Firecrackers are lit to díspel bad luck.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, all
family members retum to the family
house to have a feast called niányètàn
年夜饭. A whole cooked fish is a1ways
p1aced on dinner table as the word fish

第一课我的生日 你'好 (2)

鱼 and the verb 10 spare 余 have the same
pronunciation - yú, and so the expression
niánnián yóu yú 年年有余， implying that
one wishes there will always be something
to spare eveηyear， is represented by the
presence of the fish . Aft巳r dinner, the
children wiI1 receive yãsuìqián 压岁钱，
money from the elder members of the
fanùly , representing 由ewish 血at they wiU
grow well in the coming year. On New
Year's Day, people dress in their best c10thes to visit friends and say congratulations, gëngx'í
恭喜 or Happy New Year, xinnián hao 新年好， to each other.

ChOnjié lasts a few days and fonnally ends with the Lantern Festival, Yuánxìãojié 元宵节， on
由e 15th day ofthe month. Nowadays, however, most people return to work much earlier. On
the night of Yuánxiãojîé children caπy lanterns, dënglóng 灯笼， outdoors and people visìt
temples or public places to admire the lantern displays. 白1e lantern display is a spectacular
event, especialIy in Taiwan.

There is a legend about the origin of the New Year's celebration. Long ago, in a village, a
savage beast came out of a deep forest on the last day of every ye缸 to feed on the villagers and
their domestic animals. People found out 由at the beast was afraid of the colour red and loud
noises, 80 they pasted the red couplets, chOnlián, on the doors and lit firecrackers , biãnpào
鞭炮. to scare it away.

People saying Happy New Year to each other and children lighting firecrackers

Dragon boat race

2. Dragon Boat Festival, Duãnwujié 端午节， fifth day of the fifl由 lunar month

It is said 由at the Dragon Boat Festival, Duãnwujié 端午节， is celebrated to commemorate the
patriotic poet Qü Yuán 屈原， who drowned himself in the river Mì!uó Jiãng 汩罗江 ， in the fourth
century B.C.. Qü Yuán was an official who was exiled to a distant place by the king of Chu 楚，
who refused to tak:e hìs suggestions. He was so disheartened that he tìed himself to a rock and
drowned hìmself in the river. People sailed their boats out to try to rescue him, but without
success. They then threw rice into the river hoping 由at the fish would eat the rice instead of his
body. The customs of dragon boat racing and eating zòngzi 棕子， sticky rice wrapped in barnboo
leaves, are believed to have originated to commemorate his death.

3. Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhõngqiujié 中秋节， 15th day of the eigh由 lunar month

Thís festival is also known as the Moon Festiνal.
Because the lunar month starts on a new moon, it
is always a full moon on this festival. On this
day, people enjoy sitting outdoors admiring the
full moon while eating moon cakes, yuèbíng
月饼， and fruits such as pomelo, yòuzi 柏子.

There is a legend that thousands of ye缸s ago , Cháng'é 球剖卢'ying to the moon after taking piffs of
there were 10 suns in 由e sky and it was buming immortaJity
hot on earth. An archer, Hòuyì 后弈， bravely shot

down nine of the suns and saved the earth 仕om famine. He was beloved among the people, and

they made him a king. He was also awarded pills of immortality by the goddess Wángmu

Niángniang 王母娘娘 a 币1e pi11s were for both him and his wife Cháng'é 蜻娥， but Chár咱 'é was

curious and could not resist the temptation of irnmortality. She secretly took aU the pills herself,

which not only made her immortal but also floated her to the moon to live forever.

毛电y Chinese tea

Tea is import扭t in the daily life of tbe Cbinese people. Tea contains caffeine, pigmentation,
arornatic oils, vitamins, rninerals and protein. People drink tea both at home and at work to
quench their thirst, to re丘esh tbemselves and to aid digestion. Tea is also used as a medicine,
in cooking and as a sacrificial offering. Tbere are many varieties, which can general1y be
divided into three categories according to tbe method of manufacture: green rea, b1ack tea and
wu10ng tea. Green tea is unfen:nented; black tea is fully fermented and wulong tea 1S half
fermented‘ Tbere is a1so flower-scented tea wi由 jasmine tea being the most popular. Every
type of tea has its own characteristìcs.

Tbere are two ways in which the Chinese enjoy tea: one is drinking, and the other is tasting.
Weaker tea is drunk for re丘esbment and to quencb the 由irst. Strong tea is for tastin吕 The tea
set for tasting consists of a small tray shaped like a shallow bowl, a small tea pot and four

small cups. Each tea cup holds 缸ound 15 to 20 ml oftea, and 也e teapot makes just enough to

fill the four cups. The tray is fílled with hot water after the tea is rnade so as to keep the tea
warrn. In order to savour the 甲rali守， people drink tea slowly and with appreciati.on.

G~:( Something to know

命 Housing

Because of the high population density, the traditional U-shaped Chinese house, called

sìhéyuàn 四合院， has ahnost dísappeared except for a few places in the country. The U-
shaped house, surrounding a court yard, was usually made of mud bricks, with some
luxurious ones being built of c1 ay bricks. The room in whîch ancestors were worshìpped was
in the centre of the house. More rooms could be added behind the two wings of the U-shaped
building, which made it an ideal house for the traditionally large family consisting of
grandparents, aunts and unc1es, parents, children and grandchildren. In the 20th century,
because ofthe emergence ofthe nuclear f:缸四ly， apar恤ents have become the maín form of
housing, especially in urban areas.

In the city in China, housing ís traditionally provided by government employers, called
dãnwèi 羊 位. Workers lease their w泣ts from theîr dãnwèi for a very Iow rent. The unit usually
contains small rooms and the toilet is 0白en shared by a few families. To save room, people
often use the little veranda for cooking as welI as for dryÎng clothes. There are units
containîng better facilitîes for more affluent people, but they are not numerous. 111 recent
years, a pnvate housing po1icy has been întroduced, and people are being encouraged to buy
their own units.

In the country, many families still have three generations living together, that is ,
grandparents, parents and children. A仕er 1978, the commune system was dismantled, and
agricultural production retumed to being based on the family unit. A "仕ee markef' was
established for farrners to earn extra rnoney 企om selling surplus grain，仕山t， vegetables and
chickens. Some peasants have become wealthy compared to those who live in the city and
earn a salary. They can afford to b山ld their own houses or even two- or three-storey mansions
equipped wíth better and more modem electrical facilities.

In Taiwan, the standard of living is similar to that of the West. Due to the high population

density and the scarcity of land, people in the cÌties mainly live în high-rise buildings.

However, there are still traditional U-shaped

houses in country areas, although

they are also disappearing,

to be replaced with
