Ink wash painting (水墨画) is an old and beautiful Chinese art. This special drawing technique is created with a brush，dipped into ink，then in water before being painted onto rice paper or silk. As you can see，the paintings are created just in black and white. It is said that the technique was invented by an artist named Wang Wei.
Ink wash paintings often feature trees，flowers，landscapes，animals，birds and people. Also，they often go with Chinese poems. The painting style does not put high importance on a precise description of a real scene or object. They are often improvised (即兴的) works from beautiful scenery (风景). Therefore，this type of painting is hard to copy. Today there are many new Chinese artists that use the traditional Chinese ink wash technique to draw new sceneries and pictures.
The first ink wash animation (动画) in China came out in 1960. It's called Little Tadpole Looking for Mummy. All the animals，plants and rocks in the film are drawn with ink and brush. The film is about 15 minutes long. But it took lots of work. Without computers，the artists had to draw everything by hand. One second of animation needs 24 pictures！Little Tadpole Looking for Mummy won prizes at home and abroad. From then on，ink wash painting and animation becomes more popular in China. People in the world get to know more about ink wash since then!

Usually there are two kinds of chou on the stage，wen chou and wu chou. Wen chou often has a white dot painted on his nose and takes the roles of fisherman，boatman，servant and so on. The other kind is wu chou. Wu chou performers often wear tight clothing(紧身衣) and move quickly. They are good at martial arts(武术) and can jump several meters high. They usually express themselves in loud voices and play humorous roles，for example，kind thieves.
Chou performers often make people laugh by their spoken parts and body language，instead of singing skills. Whether they look ugly or beautiful，whether the roles they play are officials or thieves on the stage，chou roles are all humorous characters who appear in funny faces. They use the roles of chou to bring out the good qualities in people. Maybe it is the charm(魅力) of traditional Chinese operas.

A new trend(潮流) is taking hold in China—guochao ， or Chinachic.
According to a recent report，searches about guochao on a lifestyle platform have risen by 170 percent from the same period last year. The guochao trend is happening，but what is it?
The term stands for the rise of China's own fashion trends.
It has been considered as the representation(代表) of Chinese culture and aesthetics(美学) offered by Chinese brands.
The guochao trend came into the spotlight (公众视野) in 2018. To win market share，many Chinese brands followed in the footsteps of those western brands. But that year，Chinese sportswear brand LiNing changed things up. During the 2018 New York Fashion Week，LiNing introduced its Taoism(道家)inspired Wu Dao collection(系列时装). The collection not only had a trendy look，but also had something to do with traditional Chinese culture. As a result，the company recorded 20 percent revenue(收益)growth in 2018.
But no matter how the guochao trend develops，there is one thing that won't change—behind the craze(热潮) is people's confidence in the country's development and national culture.
Creating meat out of air sounds unbelievable. However，according to the company called Air Protein，it's real and can be achieved.
Air Protein was founded by Dr Lisa Dyson，a physicist，with the goal of producing meat alternatives(替代物). Such plantbased meat alternatives are well known these days and they are thought of as the future of the meat industry. But Air Protein is at a new level. They are mainly depending on microbes (微生物) to make proteinbased flour that can be used to make meatless products.
Air Protein is the only company for now making proteins out of the air. But their technology came from a research that NASA carried out in the 1960s. They were trying to come up with ways that astronauts could grow their own food in space and discovered these microbes.
The behind process is surely a lot more difficult than what Air Protein has so far shown. But the company believes that it is also the greenest way to produce protein right now. The "magic" happens in some large tanks (罐子)that take up less land than both animalraising and plantgrowing. Besides，the air is renewable(可再生的)power. Thus，Dyson says，it's cheaper and greener than other ways.
But is the world ready for this？Well，Air Protein certainly believes so and they are confident. Air Protein describes their products as "perfect" but we'll just have to see what the market thinks when they hit store shelves.
