Dragons: In many Western stories, dragons are frightening monsters. However, people in China are not frightened of them! Instead, they think dragons are a symbol of power and good fortune. Chinese dragons are so popular in China that you can see them in many places, such as vases, buildings, money, clothes, paintings, and jewellery! The word for “dragon" even appears in names and idioms. For example, “to hope that one's children become dragons" means that parents hope their children will do well in life. In China, people think dragons are so powerful that they call themselves the descendants of the dragon!

The colour red: In China, red is a powerful colour with special meaning. Many people think it brings good luck and wealth, so you will see red decorations such as paper-cuts, couplets, and lanterns during festivals like the Chinese New Year. People think red is so lucky that they wear it during celebrations. At traditional Chinese weddings, both the bride and groom wear red. Red also has positive meanings in other cultures. For example, a red carpet shows importance, and red roses symbolize love. However, in Western culture, red could sometimes mean loss. If a company has “red ink" or is "in the red", it means that they are losing more money than they are earning.

1. Why is red a symbol of happiness in China, but has negative meanings in Western countries
印绝对禁食牛肉，多数素食，部分食鸡肉、羊肉。印度人吃饭时用右手进食，左手被认为不洁，常用于处理不洁事务，用左手递接物品会被视作不尊重他人。
Because different countries have different histories, cultures and traditions.
中国红色源于远古对太阳、火的崇拜，后演变为驱邪祈福的符号，也承载了革命的热血精神；西方红色关联鲜血、战争，同时也有“爱情”的双重含义。
2. What other colors have different meanings in Chinese and Western cultures
① White means sadness in China but purity(纯洁) in the West.

Read and Circle
Read Paragraph 4 and circle the numbers .
Lucky numbers: Certain numbers are lucky in China because they sound like other Chinese words with positive meanings. “Six", for example, sounds like “flow". It symbolizes things going well. The number “two" is also lucky, because the Chinese believe that good things come in pairs. "Eight”sounds like a word which means “to make a fortune", and it symbolizes wealth. Lastly, “nine" has the same pronunciationas the character “久”, which means “long lasting”. So“nine” has come to symbolize a long life. On the other hand, “four" sounds like “death". Some people find this number so unlucky that they avoid using it in their phone numbers. But China is not the only place with special numbers. In America, for example, “seven” is a lucky number while “thirteen” is an unlucky number.
