A traditional skill1. China has a history of 5,000 years and varieties of traditional skills have been created. Among them, calligraphy is my favorite. For my point of view, it is a kind of art. It shows the wisdom of the ancient Chinese. It can not only cultivate our taste but also train us to be in a calm mood and have a good temper. A lot of famous calligraphers are still remembered and admired by people. When I first practiced calligraphy, it was hard for me to keep silent for hours. But as time passed, my handwriting improved a lot. When I saw the beautiful Chinese words written by my hands, I felt happy and moved. Now it has become an important part in my life and it makes my life much more colorful . Calligraphy is one of the most precious treasures of Chinese. We should pass it on from generation to generation.2. China , an old country with a history of over five thousand years, leaves wonderful culture to the world, such as traditional Chinese medical skills, traditional opera performance and so on. In my opinion, the most exciting among all those is Kung fu.Kung fu is not only a kind of sports but a kind of flight skill as well. The word “kung fu” was first created by Bruce lee, who was a kung fu master and a movie star himself. Not like Judo or Karate, you can always see a kung fu leaner rolling in the sky and moving his fists to hit the target. With such cool moves, kung fu is more likely to be an art of body like Taiji. It has ancient thoughts and timeless wisdom under every move. They hold the spirit of ChineseNo surrender, No giving up; Only facing off. Thats why more and more people are learning. Kung fu is an important part of traditional Chinese culture and customs. It shows the power and pride of us Chinese. We cannot forget it.3. During the winter vacation, I learned a traditional skill, paper cutting, one of Chinese traditional art. By cutting papers, qualities such as patience, perseverance as well as creativity will be improved. The more complex pattern we choose to make, the more patience we need to take. With the help of my teacher, the most excellent cutting I finished was done. It was a horse, the animal sign of this year. Although this work took the almost a day, it made the feel satisfied and proud after it was completed. In my eyes, not only paper cutting needs patience, but other important things including studies. If life is a voyage, patience will be the compass which leads to success and
