Hello,boys and girls!I'm Li Bai.I live in the capital city of the Tang dynasty—Chang'an.Today.I will introduce the city to you. The Silk Road(丝绸之路) starts from Chang'an.That makes it one of the most cosmopolitan(国际性的) cities in the world.People in your time call the city Xi'an.Foreigners(外国人) come a long way along the Silk Road.They bring their foods,arts and clothes to Chang'an. My favorite vegetables are eggplant and spinach,but they are not native. They are from other countries and they come to our table because of the Silk Road. In my free time,I often watch shows with my friends.On the shows,musicians play the harp and the pipa.Dancers from Central Asia are big stars.They can dance very well even on a small carpet(地毯). Foreign clothes are welcomed in Chang'an.People here like to wear this kind of clothes. Foreign students also come to Chang'an to study Chinese culture.Many of them live and work here. The colorful time in Chang'an enriches my life.My friends and I are really happy to be here in this amazing city—Chang'an! |
