练习一：四合院 四合院（Siheyuan）是中国传统民居中最重要的形式。它数量多、分布广，并且在汉族、满族、白族以及其他少数民族中十分流行。大多数房屋采用木质框架。主屋建在南北走向的轴线上，两个厢房则位于四合院的两侧。家庭中的长者住在主屋中，而两翼则是年轻一代的卧室。妇女住在内室。客人和男仆住在外院。这种分布符合封建礼制（feudal regulation）。四合院遍布全国的城乡，但由于各地自然条件和生活方式各有不同，因此发展出各自的特征。北京的四合院是最具代表性的。 Siheyuan/court yard is the most important form of Chinese traditional residential house. It is great in number and wide in distribution, popular among the Han, Manchu, Bai, and some of the minority groups. Most of the houses are of wood framework. The principal room is built on the south-north axis, and two wing rooms are located on both sides of it. The elders of the family live in the principal room and wings are bedrooms for the youngsters generations. Women live in the inner yard. Guests and male servants live in the outer yard. This distribution is in accordance with the feudalism regulations. Siheyuan spreads over towns and villages throughout China, but each developed its own characteristics as a result of respective natural conditions and different way of life. Siheyuan in Beijing is the most representative. 练习二：风水 风水（Feng shui）是中国建筑中的一个特殊传统，是古人对空间的布置与安排方法，其目的是为了实现建筑与环境的和谐共存。风水的字面意思是“风和水”。在古代，风水通常将从选址、设计、建筑直到内部和外部装修的整个过程联系在一起。它将天、地、人三者融为一体，并且在所选的地址、方位、自然法则以及人类命运之间寻求和谐。它反对人对自然的破坏，而是强调人与环境的共处，这种状态被认为是完美、神秘的。 Feng shui, a special Chinese tradition in architecture, is the ancient Chinese practice of placement and arrangement of space to achieve coexistence in harmony with the environment. Feng shui literally translates as “wind-water”. Feng shui usually links the whole process from site selection, designing, construction and interior and exterior decoration in ancient times. It combines the trinity of the Heaven, the Earth and Humans, and seeks harmony between selected site, orientation, natural doctrine and human fate. It repulses destruction of nature and stresses cohabitation with the environment, which is regarded as perfect and occult. 练习三：舞龙 舞龙（Dragon dance）是中国文化中一种传统的舞蹈与表演形式。它起源于汉朝并且由【信仰并尊重龙的】中国人所开创。人们认为舞龙一开始是农耕文化的组成部分，
