A Bite of China
Are you an eating-lover? Do you want to eat every delicious food in the world? Then do you watch the popular program A Bite of China? It’s a TV program on Chinese delicious food which has been produced by CCTV. Is there any holiday that isn’t celebrated with special festival food? Here are several traditional Chinese foods:
Noodles are a symbol of long life in Chinese culture. They are as much a part of Chinese birthday celebration as a birthday cake with its candles lit in many western countries. Since noodles mean long life, it is considered very unlucky to cut it off.
Although westerners sometimes may be very sorry to see fish lying on the plate, in China a whole fish is a symbol of richness. In fact, at a party it is a tradition to serve the whole fish last, pointed towards the most valued guest. Fish also has a special meaning because the Chinese word for fish, yu, sounds like the word for richness or plenty, and it is believed that eating fish will help your wishes come true in the year to come.
A very popular dish during the Dragon Boat Festival is Zongzi. This tasty dish is made of rice dumplings with meat, peanuts or other delicious food in bamboo leaves. The tradition of Zongzi is meant to remind us of a great man, Qu Yuan in Chinese history.

Brush your teeth every day, dentists say. In the south of Africa, some people brush their teeth with sticks first.
They keep a small stick in their mouth to chew (咀嚼) or scrub (洗刷) their teeth all day. People cut the sticks from trees. They are the African toothbrushes. People there are used to brushing their teeth with sticks.
Africans think the sticks work better than toothbrushes. The sticks come from nature, and it is said that there is something special about them. The special thing may stop many kinds of tooth problems. “If you have a bad tooth, it is a medicine,” said Diop, a seller in Africa.
The sticks also cost less than toothbrushes.
In Senegal (塞内加尔), the chewing stick is called “sothio”. It means “to clean” in their language. In east Africa, the stick is called “mswaki”. It’s their word for “toothbrush”.
Nowadays, some nice health stores in the United States start to sell chewing sticks. They think that the stick is natural kind of tooth care.
