Chinese Fancy Knots

Chinese Fancy Knot

Chinese fancy knots, also called Chinese knots, refer to the traditional decorative knots in Chinese culture. They began as a form of traditional art in the Tang and Song Dynasties in China, and became popular in the Ming Dynasty. Long ago, they found their way to Japan and other Southeast Asian countries, and were well received there. Now they are taken as one of the most classic symbols (標志) of Chinese culture.

As for the name itself, it is surely meaningful. The Chinese word for “knot”, jie, means “connection”. It is related to lots of cultural ideas – marriage, brotherhood, reunion, etc. Meanwhile, the pronunciation of the Chinese word jie is very close to that of ji, “good luck”. As a result, Chinese knots perfectly serve as a way to express people’s strong wishes for good things like joy, love and good luck.

Besides, the knots, widely existing in the everyday life of the Chinese culture, come in different sizes. Small ones are connected to jewellery (珠寶), clothes, gift-packages and furniture in order to attract people’s attention, while large ones are used to decorate a living room or study. Whether large or small, there are over a dozen basic knot patterns ( 圖 案 ), named according to their shapes, usages or origins. For example, Double Coin Knots are called shuangqian Jie because they are in the shape of two ancient Chinese coins, meaning “good things come in pairs”. However, almost all the main styles of Chinese fancy knots are made up of two exactly similar parts, and the patterns on the front and the back sides are also similar in every detail.

In addition, Chinese knots are famous for their bright colours. Each of the Chinese knots is made of a single string of cotton, silk, gold or silver. But the colours of the strings are rich and have different traditional cultural meanings. Among the most commonly used base colours, red means good luck and happiness, green means health, and yellow, which was once known as a emperor’s colour, may means wealth and honour.

In brief, the famous Chinese fancy knots fully reflect (反映) the depth of Chinese culture. These brightly coloured knots of different patterns, with their endless chains of knots, mean that life on earth will continue forever.

【2】What does the Chinese character for “knot” mean?

【題目】

Does Success Come with a High EQ or IQ?

Most students feel that their IQs are what determines（決定） how well they are going to do in life. When they see other students doing better than them, they usually believe that those students have a higher IQ and that there is nothing they can do to change facts. However, new research into EQ suggests that success is not simple the result of a high IQ.

While your IQ tells you how intelligent you are, your EQ tells you how well you use your intelligence. Professor Salovey who invented the term EQ suggests that when predicting someone's future success, their character, as measured（測量）by EQ tests, might actually matter than their IQs.

It is generally believed that people with high EQs are open to new ideas and have positive attitudes towards life. They are also less likely to be troubled by problems.

People generally believe that a person's IQ is determined by birth. However, most social scientists agree that EQ has a lot to do with education. Some are trying to study the possibility of improving a person's EQ, especially in terms of "people skills", such as understanding and communication.

Professor Mayer, recognized by many as a leading expert in the study of changes to people's EQs, recently said the results of a study on senior high school students. When normal students were introduced to students with disabilities, they found that, afterwards, the normal students were more willing to help people with difficulties. They also showed a better understanding of the disabled students' feelings compared to students who had not been involved in the study. There was also an obvious change in the disabled students' attitudes. They became more positive about life and more willing to try new things.

The results of the study show that EQ is important. To get ahead in the world and lead a happy successful life means getting on with other people and being able to understand and react to the situations in the best way possible. This requires a high EQ, the higher the better. And the fact that it might be possible to raise EQs means that schools need to make sure that their students are receiving the education they really need, and know that their futures are not entirely determined by their IQs.

【1】According to the passage, people with high EQs ________________.

A.hate trying new thingsB.are determined by birth

C.are more understandingD.need to improve their IQs

【2】What does the phrase "react to" in Paragraph 6 probably mean?

A.Try to refuse to accept.B.Show some disinterest in.

C.Help others to explain.D.Behave differently in.

【3】According to the passage, Professor Mayer probably agrees that ___________________.

A.students with low EQs are more creative and positive toward their lives

B.it is possible for disabled students to improve their EQs with education

C.it is difficult for people with high EQs to solve problems in the best way

D.students with high IQs will be easier to succeed than students with high EQs

【4】What is the writer's main purpose in writing the passage?

A.To discuss the meaning of EQ.

B.To stress the importance of EQ.

C.To introduce the discovery of EQ.

D.To question about the tests of EQ.
