The winter holiday is usually a good time to sleep in. But Xu Haoran, a 14-year-old from Changsha, gets up at 7 a. m. to run at least 2 kilometers every day during the holiday. In fact, this exercise is a part of his homework.
徐不是唯一一个在寒假里坚持锻炼的学生。Nowadays many schools across the country ask students to exercise during the winter holiday. One of the main reasons is that physical education test scores are now worth more on the senior high school entrance examination (中考). In Changsha, the score is up to 60 points, which is 10 points higher than geography or biology.
因此，徐和他的同学们被要求晴天跑步。If the weather is bad, they have to do some indoor sports. Students also need to post exercise photos in their classes’ WeChat groups. This has been a big challenge for many students, but has also helped to make exercise a more important part of their lives. Li Junjie, a 14-year-old student at the same school as Xu, used to hate running. But he is now able to run for half an hour every day. “I have decided to keep doing this in the future,” he said.
Not only teenagers but also primary school students are supposed to exercise during the winter vacation. Yuan Zicheng, a 10-year-old student at the Dong Hu Primary School in Jinan, fell in love with exercise during the holiday. He skips rope(跳绳) for more than 10 minutes every day. “I didn’t use to exercise a lot, but it’s time to catch up!” he said.

Chinese painting, known as “guó huà” in Chinese, is done with no oils but a brush put in colored or black ink on paper or silk. “Landscape painting” and “Bird-and-flower painting’’ are considered the two most popular forms. The first one usually covers “mountains, rivers” and the second one covers “flowers, birds, insects or fishes”. Plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos, and chrysanthemums (梅兰竹菊) are good symbols to choose.
Plum blossoms are highly praised for their beauty. And also, Chinese people think they are brave and not afraid of the heavy weather in the cold winter when other flowers wither (凋谢). In addition, they are a symbol of good luck for the coming spring.
Orchids are known for their sweet smell. They’re much loved by people because of a clean and beautiful look. In China, the true friendship is often compared to “the orchid friendship”.
Bamboos can also deal with the cold winter. In the ancient tradition, it was a custom to set off fireworks, which were made of bamboos, to say goodbye to the old and bring peace to the new. So bamboos are used as a symbol of peace and safety in Chinese paintings.
Chrysanthemums bloom (开花) in late fall. No matter how strong the wind is. they don’t drop a petal(花瓣). The ancient poets always used them to describe pure people. The famous poet Tao Yuanming in the Eastern Jin Dynasty described his peaceful life through his best-known poem “While picking chrysanthemums’ neath the Eastern fence, my gaze upon the Southern mountain rests.”
To Chinese, plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos, and chrysanthemums not only mean four plants, but also mean the personality and behavior that Chinese admire. That’s why they are known as “Four Gentlemen” in traditional Chinese art and literature.
