问答题
1.Illustrate the main contents and the literature significance of Dream of Red Mansions.
答：Written by Cao Xueqin, Dream of the Red Mansions is the pinnacle of Chinese novels (2’). It has long been acknowledged as the greatest novel in C hinese literature (2’). This novel describes the prosperity and decline of a large feudal family (2’). The central thread of the novel is the tragic love st ory between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu. Instead of telling the love story, it taps the social origins of the tragedy through probing deeply into the charac ters’ minds and complicated relationships (2’). The novel contains poems, ci, lyric verse and prose essays, which fit the plot and the fate of the charac ters (2’).
2.Illustrate the ways to distinguish a character’s personality or role type in Beijing Opera.
答
2.There are two ways to distinguish a character’s personality or role type (2’). The first is to understand the color code of the painted face (2’). For ex ample, red is used for loyal and upright persons; purple for loyal, brave, just and noble characters; gold-silvered faces for ghosts and gods. White ma ke-up between the eyes and nose is specially used for a clown. (2’)
The second distinguishing features are the lines and patterns drawn on the face (2’). For example, a distorted face, drawn with asymmetrical lines, ge nerally represents a villain or accomplice or someone whose face has been wounded. (2’)
https://www.360docs.net/doc/8218565367.html,pare the difference and similarity between private school and official school.
答
.Similarity: they are both schools in ancient China to provide education and can cultivate candidates for the imperial examination (2’). Differences: 1. A private school is set up by a family, generally with just one teacher who gave individual tuition while an official school was sponsor ed by official constitutions (2’); 2. A private school has neither set textbooks nor specified time span of study while an official school has the teachin g materials centering on the Four Books and the Five Classics(4’); 3. Only children of nobles were admitted to official schools (2’).
Three cups of tea, the famous custom of the Bai ethnic group, can best illustrate Chinese tea culture. Visitors are greeted with this warm and unique c eremony: they are offered three cups of tea (2’). The first cup of tea is made from local bitter leaves. It tastes medicinal. (2’)The second looks like so up. It is made from walnuts, cheese and sugar. It tastes sweet. (2’)The third cup of tea is made by mixing prickly ash, ginger and Chinese cinnamon with honey and bitter tea. It is pungent, with a distinct aftertaste. (2’)
The three cups of tea are symbolic of the three stages of one’s life journey: going through all kinds of hardships, feeling the joy of life, and recalling both bitter and happy experience. (2’)
