Qingming Festival, also called the TombSweeping Day, is usually celebrated between April 4 and April 6. This festivaldates back to 2,500 years ago. It’s a time for remembering loved ones who havepassed away. When visiting the tombs of their lost loved ones, people usuallysweep away the dirt and get rid of any weeds. They also offer varieties of foodand flowers in front of the tomb. Some even burn paper money, hoping to keepthe ancestors happy, as Chinese believe that the spirits of past ancestors lookafter the living.

Qingming Festival also marks the beginningof the planting season and outdoor activities. So, in a way, on this day bothlife and death are respected.

When and how do you pay your respect toyour ancestors? Look forward to your reply.

Second, Peking opera is a national treasure with a history ofmore than 200 years. Peking opera has become more and more popular with peopleall over the world, and it has made an excellent contribution to culturalexchange between China and the West.

Finally, Clay Figurine Zhang is a wonderfuland unique national work of art. Clay Figurine Zhang has a variety of themes,which have gained wide acceptance and recognition. In recent years, ClayFigurine Zhang has been serving as a bridge of cultural exchanges between Chinaand other countries.

By the way, do you have any other help? Ifthere is any demand, I would be very happy to help. I am looking forward toyour coming.

【參考范文】

Dear Peter，

Your letter reached me with pleasure. I'mso happy that the“Foreign Cultures”section in our newspaper will recommendChinese traditional culture.

From my perspective, there is no denyingthat Confucius is the most representative symbol of Chinese culture. As aphilosopher, Confucius not only represents the traditional Chinese culture, buthas been influencing us Chinese people since ancient times. Nowadays we canfind lots of Confucius institutes around the world, which provide platforms forthe foreigners to learn about Chinese culture.

Undoubtedly, culture is a decisive factorfor social development. As a country with a long history, China is rich incivilization and culture. To promote Chinese culture, we are supposed toprovide various cultural exchange activities. What's more, establishingConfucius institutes all over the world is also a good idea. Meanwhile,attracting more foreign visitors to China to experience Chinese culture willhave a far--reaching impact. I'll be glad if I could help you.

Best wishes.

Yours,

Li Hua
