Lanterns have been part of Chinese culture for centuries and play an important part in many celebrations. In ancient times, there were mainly three kinds of lanterns

Palace lantern

It was mainly used in palaces in ancient times. When making palace lanterns fine wood was used. The palace lanterns were covered with silk or glass. Different kinds of pictures were drawn on the covers. These lanterns were not only used as lights but also as decorations （裝飾）in palaces.

Gauze lantern （紗燈）

Less expensive bamboo and gauze were used to cover the lantern. Red gauze was used when making them. In Chinese culture, red lanterns stand for （代表）happiness. So red lanterns are always hung （懸掛）on important festivals such as Lantern Festival, Spring Festival and National Day in parks or along main streets. In some famous Chinatowns abroad, you can see red lanterns all the year round. They have become a symbol of Chinese culture worldwide.

Shadow picture lantern （走馬燈）

It was usually used for amusement （娛樂）.The shape was much like that of the palace lanterns. There were two layers （層）of covers and pictures were drawn on the inside layer. When lit （被點燃）,the heat caused a paper wheel inside the lantern to turn around, so that moving pictures appeared on the outside cover.

Now more kinds of lanterns appear in festivals besides the traditional ones. More modem technology is used on making lanterns. The shapes of the modem lanterns have changed a lot too.

1.In ancient times, there were _________________________________________________.

2.Red lanterns are symbols of __________________________________________, so they are always hung on important festivals.

3.The shape of ______________________is just like that of the palace lanterns.

4.In some famous Chinatowns abroad, you can __________________________________________.

The year 2019 marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China. The national flag of China was officially presented in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square on October 1, 1949. My national flag, I am proud of you! This is also the theme（主題）of the classic program First Lesson in 2019. Let’s learn about some historical moments when the national flag was raised in the past 70 years.

Guo Dexian, 95, unfurled（展開）a red flag with a big star in the middle and four stars at the corners. “We used our quilts to make the flag just before liberation（解放）. At that time we didn’t know what our national flag would be like,” said Guo with excitement. In the classic novel Red Crag（《紅巖》），we can read the story of the flag’s making. This is the first story about our national flag.

On May 25, 1960, the national flag of the people’s Republic of China was seen fluttering（飄動）above the world’s highest peak for the first time. When the Chinese team first climbed Mt. Qomolangma, they had to step on each other’s shoulders to reach the top.

On January 3, 2019, China made history with the first-ever soft landing on the far side of the moon. On the surface of the moon, the Chinese national flag stands out brightly. It perfectly shows what is called the “Chinese red” and “Chinese yellow” on the far side of the moon.

1.“My national flag, I am proud of you” is the theme of the classic program First Lesson in 2019.

2.Granny Guo Dexian made a red flag with old clothes.

3.We can read the story of the flag’s making in the novel Red Crag.

4.The Chinese national flag fluttered above Mt. Qomolangma before 1960.

5.The Chinese national flag appeared on the surface of the moon on January 1, 2019.
