27、Thank-You Notes: The Important Life Lessons
There is no greater gift for any of us to give our friends and family than the gift of thanks.
【1】 Take a quiet moment to think about the blessings of the season and write a thank-you note to everyone who made it special for you. There are some life lessons from thank-you notes.
【2】 Even a child can make some lines on paper, help pick out a pretty stamp, and lick the envelope. This helps create a sense of ownership, confidence, and contribution.
Thank-you notes improve communication skills. Wherever you are, no skill is more important than the ability to communicate clearly, sincerely and thoughtfully. 【3】 Those are the qualities (品德) that encourage people to trust and respect you.
Thank-you notes remind you about what is important. Maybe the gift is thoughtless. But when we write a thank-you note we have to show within ourselves some way to be thankful and find some way to express it. We do not find happiness in what we get. 【4】
【5】 Not “Thanks for the sweater,” but “Thank you for the sweater. It is cool.” Not “Thanks for the game,” but “We had fun playing that game.”
I think you will soon discover that the more thank-you notes you send, the more you become aware of how much there is to be grateful for, and how good it feels to let people know you appreciate them.

29、The winter solstice(冬至) is an important solar term in the traditional Chinese calendar, and means the coming of winter. It generally occurs between December 21st and 23rd. According to the traditional Chinese calendar, one year is divided into twenty-four solar terms. On this day, in the northern hemisphere(半球) the period of daytime is the shortest of the year and the period of night is the longest.
In northern China there is a custom of eating dumplings during the winter solstice. It is said that dumplings were invented by Zhang Zhongjing, a well-known doctor in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
One winter, he noticed that many people’s ears were frostbitten(冻伤的), which made him sad. In order to prevent and cure the freezing injury caused by cold, he asked his followers to boil mutton, chilies and other ingredients in a pot for fending off cold. After these were boiled, they cut them into pieces and then wrapped them in dough skins in the shape of ears. Afterwards, they put these into the pot to boil again.
On the day of the winter solstice, people whose ears were frostbitten were sent to eat the dumplings. People who ate dumplings felt warm from head to toe and had their cold injury healed. Thereafter, people ate dumplings every winter solstice.
Afterwards, Zhang Zhongjing died on the day of the winter solstice. In order to honour him, every year on the day of the winter solstice every household makes dumplings.
